Suggested mechanism of action of JB in AML cells. JB in AML exerts its effect through increasing ROS level that cause c-Jun/JNK activation as well as DNA damage. JB also targets PLK1 that contributes to G2/M arrest. Activated c-Jun/JNK may contribute to microtubule disruption and ultimately G2/M arrest. JB was reported to bind directly to the colchicine site on microtubule and inhibits microtubule polymerisation but this was not tested in this study
