DMU-212 is a methylated derivative of Resveratrol , with antimitotic, anti-proliferative, antioxidant and apoptosis promoting activities. DMU-212 induces mitotic arrest via induction of apoptosis and activation of ERK1/2 protein. DMU-212 has orally active[1][2].

DMU-212 (0.3125-40 μM) inhibits growth of A375, MeWo, Bro and M5 cells human melanoma cells[1].DMU-212 (30-50 μM; 24 hours) induces upregulation of cell cycle inhibitors, apoptosis and ERK activation in A375 cells[1].DMU-212 induces upregulation of cell cycle inhibitors, apoptosis and ERK activation in A375 cells[1].DMU-212 induces G2/M arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells[1].DMU-212 induces mitotic arrest, apoptosis and activation of ERK1/2 protein[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: A375 cells, MeWo cells, M5 cells, Bro cells

DMU-212 (50 mg/kg; i.g.; three times a week; for 14 days) inhibits tumor growth in xenograft model of human ovarian cancer[2]. Animal Model: 6-weeks-old SCID female mice (20-24 g), with ovarian cancer xenografts[2]
