Beauvericin is a cyclohexapeptide Fusarium toxin with insecticidal, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral and cytotoxic activities. Beauvericin causes cellular genotoxicity by producing DNA breaks, chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei, and inhibits the PI3K/AKT pathway to induce apoptosis, thereby inhibiting the growth of HCC. In addition, Beauvericin affects immune function by inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation and interfering with the differentiation process of human monocytes into macrophages.

In Vitro

Beauvericin (0-20 μM; 12, 24 and 36 h) has a strong antiproliferative activity against H22 hepatoma cells and promotes apoptosis of H22 hepatoma cells[5].
Beauvericin (50 μM; 72 h) induces apoptosis in turkey peripheral mononuclear cells[6].
Beauvericin (0.3-100 µM) reversibly inhibits L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ current (ICa,L) in NG108-15 neuronal cells in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 4 µM[7].
Beauvericin has IC50 values ​​of 1.0 µM, 2.9 µM, and 2.5 µM for immature dendritic cells, mature dendritic cells, and macrophages, respectively[8].
Beauvericin (1.6 and 2.4 µM; 2 d) reduces CCR7 expression and increases IL-10 secretion in maturing dendritic cells[8].

In Vivo

Beauvericin (5 mg/kg; i.p.; after the first dosing cycle, observe for two days and continue the second dosing cycle) reduces tumor volume and increases necrosis in allogeneic transplant model mice[3].
Beauvericin (3, 5, 7 mg/kg; i.p.; once a week for three weeks) can significantly inhibit the growth of H22 allogeneic transplant model mice and increase the levels of TNF-α and IL-2 in mice[5].

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.
