Chartreusin inhibits protein synthesis in chick embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and mouse fibroblast 3T6 cells (IC50s = 7 and 70 ?M, respectively).{38766} It is cytotoxic to human lung carcinoma A549 cells in vitro (IC50 = 95 nM) and increases median survival in P388 leukemia and B16 melanoma mouse tumor models when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg per day.{38765,22198}
