Thioridazine (0.01-100 μM; 48 h) reduces the cell viability of NCI-N87 and AGS cells in a concentration-dependent manner[2].
Thioridazine (15 μM; 24 h) reduces cell viability of the cervical (HeLa, Caski and C33A) and endometrial (HEC-1-A and KLE) cancer cells[4].
Thioridazine (1-15 μM; 24-48 h) induces gastric cancer cell death via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and mitochondrial pathway[2].
Thioridazine (15 μM; 24 h) modulates the regulation of cell cycle progression by interfering with the PI3K/Akt pathway and induces G1 cell cycle arrest in cervical and endometrial cancer cells [4].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
