QUICK LINKS

Cytosporone B is the first occurring agonist for nuclear orphan receptor Nur77 is Cytosporone B. The molecule binds with high affinity (IC50=0.278 nM) to the ligand-binding domain of Nur77 and stimulates Nur77-dependent activities. Nur77 is a nuclear receptor/transcription factor. A physiological ligand for Nur77 is as yet unknown, but there is increasing interest in Nur77 because of its known activities. Translocation of Nur77 from the nucleus to mitochondria initiates cell apoptosis. Nur77 is also involved in glucose homeostasis, where it induces genes involved in gluconeogenesis. Csn-B physically binds to Nur77 and activates its transactivational activity and translocation to mitochondria to induce apoptosis. It inhibits cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth.
