Application
TN-16 has been used as a microtubule disrupting agent to study its effect on autophagic process in human and mouse mammary carcinoma cell lines .
Biochem/physiol Actions
3-(l-anilinoethylidene)-5-benzylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione (TN-16), a tenuazonic acid derivative, is a synthetic antitumor agent which arrests mitosis of tumor cells at metaphase. It is a colchicine site binding agent and a powerful autophagy flux inhibitor that could be used as a conventional autophagy inhibitor with anti-cancer potential in pre-clinical trials.
Inhibitor of microtubule assembly
TN-16 is a synthetic compound that blocks the assembly, and promotes the dissociation of microtubules. It can prevent the b-TrCP-mediated degradation of the transcription factor Gli2, leading to the up-regulation of BMP-2 and supporting a role for microtubule formation in the regulation of bone formation.
