PROScillaridin A 是从Drimia robusta中提取的一种天然产物。是强力的拓扑异构酶 I 和 II的抑制剂，IC50值分别为 30 nM 和 100 nM。

Proscillaridin A is a natural product.It is a potent poison of topoisomerase I/II activity with IC50 values of 30 nM and 100 nM, respectively.

proscillaridin A, on the proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells.?In terms of inhibition of cell proliferation of MCF-7 cells, the compounds rank in the order proscillaridin A>digoxin>ouabain.?While both digoxin and ouabain inhibited topoisomerase II catalytic activity at nanomolar concentrations (100 nM), neither agent inhibited topoisomerase I catalytic activity even at concentrations as high as 100 microM.?On the other hand, proscillaridin A was a potent poison of topoisomerase I and II activity at nanomolar drug concentrations (30 nM, 100 nM, respectively), suggesting that this agent may produce its cytotoxic activity by targeting both enzymes simultaneously.?These studies suggest that the stabilization of DNA-topoisomerase II complexes is closely linked to the mechanism of digoxin, ouabain and proscillaridin A cytotoxicity.?The potential DNA-binding properties of the cardiac glycosides have been assessed by measuring the displacement of ethidium bromide from calf thymus DNA.
