SP-8356: A Novel Verbenone Derivative Exerts
Article in Cell journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stands as a prominent contributor to cancer-related fatalities on a global scale, necessitating the search for novel therapeutic agents. SP-8356, a derivative of (1S)-(-)-verbenone, has shown promise as an anticancer agent in preclinical studies. However, specific mechanisms underlying its effects in NSCLC remain to be elucidated. The aim of this research was to explore the in vitro anti-NSCLC effects of SP-8356, elucidate its mechanisms of action, and assess its efficacy in inhibiting tumor formation in a murine model. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this experimental study, NSCLC cell lines were treated with various concentrations of SP- 8356. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using MTT and colony formation assays, respectively. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry, and apoptosis was evaluated by determining apoptotic protein expression. Western blot analysis was conducted to assess protein expression levels of the both p53 and MDM2. Additionally, we evaluated efficacy of the SP-8356 in inhibiting tumor formation of the nude mouse model.
resultsSP-8356 demonstrated a concentration-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation in the NSCLC cell lines. Flow cytometric analysis showed that SP-8356 led to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, indicating its potential influence on regulating the cell cycle. SP-8356 treatment was associated with the downregulation of CDK1 and Cyclin B1. Additionally, SP-8356 significantly enhanced apoptosis in NSCLC cells. SP-8356 treatment was associated with the downregulation of Bcl-2, while Bax expression was upregulated. Mechanistically, SP-8356 led to accumulation of the p53 protein levels within the NSCLC cells. This accumulation was mediated through inhibition of its negative regulator, MDM2. Using a nude mouse model demonstrated that SP-8356 effectively inhibited tumor formation in vivo.
conclusionOur findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying anticancer activity of SP-8356 and highlight its potential as a promising therapeutic candidate for NSCLC treatment.
