Biochem/physiol Actions n-Amyl 2-[3,5-dihydroxy-2-(1-nonanoyl)phenyl]acetate is a Nur77 agonist. Nur77 is a steroid orphan receptor that plays a critical role in regulating proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. n-Amyl 2-[3,5-dihydroxy-2-(1-nonanoyl)phenyl]acetate, a cytosporone B analog, is a stronger activator of Nur77 than it parent compound. n-Amyl 2-[3,5-dihydroxy-2-(1-nonanoyl)phenyl]acetate treatment causes Nur77 migration to mitochondria, which results in mitochondrial Cyt c release into the cytoplasm and mitochondrial AIF redistribution in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. |
