Xanthatin is against T. b. brucei with an IC50 value of 2.63 µg/mL and exhibits weak irreversible inhibition of parasite specific trypanothione reductase.
Xanthatin (0-40 μM; 24 hours) has obscure inhibition effect on the proliferation of HUVEC in the absence of VEGF.
Xanthatin (5-40 μM; 24 hours) inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation in a dose responsive manner. Xanthatin inhibits HCC1937, MDA-MB-415, SK-BR-3, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 81 μM, 31 μM, 38 μM, 30 μM, and 17 μM, respectively.
Xanthatin (0-10 μM; 24 hours) dose dependently suppresses the phosphorylation of STAT3 (Ser727), at the same time, it also results in a rapid dephosphorylation of down-stream kinases of STAT3, including PI3K and Akt, including PI3K (p-PI3K p85 tyr458) and Akt.
