          Background

          Hinokitiol, a natural bioactive compound of aromatic tropolone, is a potent apoptosis inducer and iron chelator. Hinokitiol reduces the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) which is an emerging regulator of antioxidant response, maintaining redox homeostasis in the cells. Interfering Nrf2 expression has been shown to disrupt the self-renewal of glioma stem cells and make tumors sensitive to chemoradiotherapy. In addition, hinokitiol may also induce DNA demethylation by reducing the mRNA and protein expression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and ubiquitin-like plant homeodomain and RING finger domain 1 (UHRF1), to achieve its anti-tumor activities in cancers like colon cancer.
