靈菌紅素Prodigiosin/靈菌紅素通過活化半胱天冬酶誘導人原發性癌細胞的凋亡
Prodigiosin
Prodigiosin is an intensely red pyrrole pigment produced by several bacteria, most notably, Serratia marcescens. Prodigiosin has a broad biological profile with activity against fungi, tumor cell lines and malaria. It was shown to be an immunosuppressant in 2007. The mode of action of prodigiosin has recently received considerable attention as an inducer of apoptosis in human primary cancer cells via caspase activation. Prodigiosin also acts as an inducer of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression via transforming growth factor-beta receptor pathway, and of NAG-1activation by acting on glycogen synthase kinase-3beta.

靈菌紅素 CAS 號. 82-89-3
靈菌紅素是由若干種細菌特別是粘質沙雷菌產生的一種紅色吡咯色素。靈菌紅素有廣譜的生物學活性，抗真菌、腫瘤細胞系和瘧疾。2007年發現它是一種免疫抑制劑。近來靈菌紅素的作用方式受到大量的關注，作為一種誘導劑通過活化半胱天冬酶誘導人原發性癌細胞的凋亡，并通過轉化β生長因子受體途徑誘導p21WAF1/CIP1表達，通過作用3β糖原合成酶激酶活化N-乙酰-β-葡萄糖苷酶。
