Anacardic Acid
-
- Application
- Inhibition (Inh)
- Purpose
- HAT Inhibitor
- Characteristics
- Anacardic acids occur in cashew nut shells and are similar in structure to urushiols, the irritating components of poison ivy. Anacardic acid inhibits histone acetyltransferases (HATs) p300 (IC50 = 8.5 μM) and PCAF (IC50 = 5.0 μM) with no effect on HDACs. It also suppresses expression or activity of proteins involved in invasion and angiogenesis, e.g. MMP-2 (IC50 = 11 μM) and -9. 6-PDSA, a saturated form of anacardic acid, induces macrophage activation via MAPK and NF-κB. When used at 125 μM, it sensitized cancer cells to radiation therapy by reducing histone expression. It also blocks inducible and constitutive activation of NF-κB in leukemia cells.
