Hycanthone 

Cat. No.: HY-B1099 Purity: 99.73%
COA Handling Instructions

Hycanthone is a thioxanthenone DNA intercalator and inhibits RNA synthesis as well as the DNA topoisomerases I and II. Hycanthone inhibits nucleic acid biosynthesis and inhibits apurinic endonuclease-1 (APE1) by direct protein binding with a KD of 10 nM. Hycanthone is a bioactive metabolite of Lucanthone (HY-B2098) and has anti-schistosomal agent.

Description

Hycanthone inhibits nucleic acid biosynthesis and inhibits apurinic endonuclease-1 (APE1) by direct protein binding with a KD of 10 nM.

IC50 & Target[1]

Topoisomerase I

 

Topoisomerase II

 

In Vitro

Hycanthone has an IC50 of 80 nM for inhibition of APE1 incision of depurinated plasmid DNA[1].
Hycanthone (0.05-100 µM; for 2 h) promotes APE1 cleavage in presence of Cycloheximide (CHX) and this cleavage is inhibited by 1% DMSO[1].
Hycanthone at 20 mg/mL or more is progressively more detrimental to cell viability. Results reveal that increased concentrations of Hycanthone, ranging from 0.1 to 10 μg/mL, progressively reduces viral interferon yields as much as 73% compare to that of controls[3].

In Vivo

Results show that the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into TCA-precipitable material of adult sensitive worms undergo a progressive decrease after treatment with Hycanthone. Immature worms are totally unaffected by Hycanthone at all times tested. Male worms treated with Hycanthone show signs of a possible partial recovery from the initial low levels of incorporation. The incorporation of tritiated leucine by drug-sensitive worms treated with Hycanthone is inhibited by 40 to 50% in the first four days after treatment. Results show that, 7 days after Hycanthone treatment, both ribosomal RNA species are reduced by at least 80% with respect to untreated worms, with some indication of a possible accumulation of heavier precursor molecules[2].

Cell Assay
[2]

Appropriate quantities of Hycanthone (1 to 100 μg) in 10 mL maintenance medium are added to plastic flasks (75 cm2) containing approximately 3×107 LLC-MK2 cells in monolayer, which are then incubated at 35°C for 24 h. Maintenance medium is decanted, and 2 mL influenza virus is added onto cell monolayers and incubated at 35°C for 2 h. The multiplicity of infection is approximately 1.0. Inoculum is removed and 10 mL maintenance medium is added to each flask, which is then incubated at 35°C for 24 h. Supernatant fluid is decanted, centrifuged at 100,000 g for 1 h, dialyzed against HCI-KCI buffer (pH 2.0) at 4°C for 24 h, and then dialyzed against two changes of phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.1) at 4°C for 24 h. Fluids are passed through filters to obtain sterile preparations. Samples are stored at -80°C until assayed for interferon activity[2].

Animal Administration
[1]

Female outbred Swiss albino mice used as definitive hosts weigh 18 to 20 g at the time of infection. Hycanthone is administered at 0.01 mL/g body weight intramuscularly by splitting the dose into the two hind legs, so that each mouse receives 80 mg/kg body weight of the free base. Treatments are usually performed during the 8th week after infection[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
