COA Handling Instructions

Intoplicine (RP 60475), an antitumor derivative in the 7H-benzo[e]pyrido[4,3-b]indole series, is a DNA topoisomerase I and II inhibitor. Intoplicine strongly binds DNA (KA = 2 x 105 /M) and thereby increases the length of linear DNA.

Description

Intoplicine (RP 60475), an antitumor derivative in the 7H-benzo[e]pyrido[4,3-b]indole series, is a DNA topoisomerase I and II inhibitor. Intoplicine strongly binds DNA (KA = 2 x 105 /M) and thereby increases the length of linear DNA[1][2].

In Vitro

With 1-hour exposure to Intoplicine at final concentrations of 2.5 micrograms/mL and 10.0 micrograms/mL, 26% and 54% of the assessable specimens shows positive in vitro responses, respectively[2].
With continuous exposure to Intoplicine at concentrations of 0.25 micrograms/mL and 2.5 micrograms/mL, 16% and 71% of the assessable specimens showed positive responses, respectively[2].
Activity is seen against breast (71%), non-small-cell lung (69%), and ovarian (45%) cancer colony-forming units at a Intoplicine concentration of 10.0 micrograms/mL after 1-hour exposure[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.74 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.74 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[2]

The assay is performed with various concentrations of calf thymus Topo II (20 to 0.1 decatenation units) in a 20 μL final reaction volume containing 0.25 μg of supercoiled pBR322 DNA, 20 mM Tris HC1 (pH 7.5), 60 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 30 μg /mL bovine serum albumin, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM Dithiothreitol, and 1 μM Intoplicine or water. The final nucleotide concentration is 20.8 μM.The reaction is assembled in ice and the reaction mixture is then incubated at 37°C for 5 min. Then sample is mixed at room temperature with 20 μL of preaggregated silver hydrosol and immediately analyzed by SERS. Control experiments consisting of measurement of the SERS spectra of buffer alone, Topo II alone, Intoplicine alone (1μM), DNA alone, Topo II+Intoplicine, and DNA+Intoplicine are performed under the same conditions, except that distilled water is used to adjust the reaction volume to 20μL[2].

Cell Assay
[2]

The K562 human erythroleukemia cell line is established from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Cells are in the exponential growth phase at 5-8×105 in RPMI 1640 (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Seromed) and 2 mM L-glutamine. Cell growth and viability are determined by phase contrast microscopy and by using the trypan blue test. Cells (2×106) are incubated with 1 μM Intoplicine for 1 h at 37°C, washed twice with PBS by centrifugation (200× g at 4°C) and resuspended in 200 μL PBS[2].

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.
