QUICK LINKS

ET-18-OCH3 is an ether lipid analogue that induces selective apoptosis in tumor cells without affecting normal cells. The compound may act to inhibit Swiss 3T3 fibroblast and BG1 ovarian adenocarcinoma cell cytosolic phosphoinositide selective phospholipase C (PIPLC). ET-18-OCH3 induces apoptosis in human promyelocytic HL-60 leukemic cells and promonocytic U937 leukemic cells. Research demonstrates that in the presence of ET-18-OCH3, intracellular Fas/CD95 is activated and activation of p70 S6 Kinase is inhibited. ET-18-OCH3 is also a PAF-R Activator. ET-18-OCH3 shows antineoplastic activity and is an inhibitor of PKC.
