Cantharidin (56-25-7) inhibits protein phosphatase 2A (Ki=0.19 μM) and PP1 (Ki=1.1 μM).1 Displays >500-fold selectivity over PP2B. Suppresses growth and migration of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells via phosphorylation and degradation of β-catenin.2 Cantharidin arrests G2/M transition via JNK/Sp1-dependent down-regulation of CDK1.3 Cell permeable.
Warning: Avoid skin contact, may cause skin irritation or blistering.
