HU-331 is a

anticancer quinones.[1] One of the main objectives of these studies is the development of a new quinone derived compound that produces anti-neoplastic
activity while maintaining low toxicity at therapeutic doses.

Mechanism of action

Inhibitors of

enzymatic ligation to the protein. This molecule does not cause damage to DNA, but protects cells from damage, natural, or induced by other inhibitors of topoisomerase II that act as inhibitors of topoisomerase. Even when 60% of the target cells are killed by treatment with HU-331, other cells' nucleic content remains unharmed, with less breakage of DNA chains that control important cellular functions.[2]

secondary messengers, etc. Hu-331 is more active and less toxic, since it generates reactive oxygen species in the heart and has a specific activity that gives great potential to develop as a new anticancer drug, according to Kogan et al.[2]

Cannabinoids can act as anticancer compounds killing several

caspase-3 in cancer cells.[2]
