Periplanetin is a potent anticancer compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It works by inhibiting specific kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling and growth. Periplanetin is an analog of capsaicin, a compound found in chili peppers that has also been studied for its anticancer properties. In vitro studies have demonstrated the ability of periplanetin to induce apoptosis (cell death) in tumor cells, both in Chinese hamster ovary cells and human cancer cell lines. Additionally, periplanetin has been found in urine samples from patients with advanced-stage cancers, indicating its potential as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Overall, periplanetin shows promise as a novel inhibitor of protein kinases for cancer therapy.
