Description

Lonafarnib (Sch66336) is a potent and orally active farnesyl transferase (FTase) inhibitor. Lonafarnib inhibits the activities of H-ras, K-ras and N-ras with IC50 values of 1.9 nM, 5.2 nM and 2.8 nM, respectively. Lonafarnib also has anti-hepatitis delta virus (HDV) activities.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 1.9 nM (H-ras), 5.2 nM (K-ras), 2.8 nM (N-ras)[1]

In Vitro

Lonafarnib (Sch66336) potently inhibits Ha-Ras processing in whole cells and blocks the trans formed growth properties of fibroblasts and human tumor cell lines expressing activated Ki-Ras proteins[1]. All treatment groups containing Lonafarnib (10 μM) show a significantly higher level of unfarnesylated H-Ras (116-137%) compared to control treatment[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

In mouse, rat, and monkey systems, Lonafarnib (Sch66336) has excellent oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties. In the nude mouse, Lonafarnib demonstrates potent oral activity in a wide array of human tumor xenograft models including tumors of colon, lung, pancreas, prostate, and urinary bladder origin[1]. Lonafarnib alone (80 mg/kg by oral gavage, once daily) has limited ability to inhibit orthotopic U87 tumors compared to vehicle treated control animals (T/C of 0.67). The combination of XRT/Tem (2.5Gy/day for 2 days; 5 mg/kg by oral gavage 90 min prior to XRT) is designed to produce modest tumor growth inhibition in vivo(T/C of 0.42). Concurrent Lonafarnib/XRT/Tem (Lonafarnib 80 mg/kg by oral gavage, once daily, XRT 2.5Gy/day for 2 days, and Tem 5 mg/kg by oral gavage 90 min prior to XRT) provides the strongest growth reduction (T/C of 0.02) and is significantly more effective than XRT/Tem (p<0.04), with the majority of animals demonstrating a decrease in tumor volume (p<0.05) after two weeks and persisting after 4 weeks (p<0.05)[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.91 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.91 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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
[1]

FPTactivity is determined by measuring the transfer of [3H]farnesyl from [3H]farnesyl PPi to trichloroacetic acid-precipitable Ha-Ras-CVLS. GGPT-1 activity is similarly determined using [3H]geranylgeranyl diphosphate and Ha-Ras-CVLL as substrates[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Assay
[2]

CellTiter96 Aqueous Assay kit is used. Assays are performed with 5000 cells/well in a 96-well tissue culture plate. Plates are irradiated 24 h after drug exposure and assayed 96 h after XRT, with fresh drug treatments applied each day. For quantification, dye is added directly to each well, plates are washed as per the manufactures recommendation and cell viability determined by optical density. Significance is analyzed using the Student’s T-test. 12-well plates are seeded with 100,000 cells/well. Drug treatments are initiated 24 h after plating, and media is replaced every 24 h for a total of 96 h of drug exposure. Plates are irradiated after 24 h of drug exposure. Cells from triplicate sets of treatments are trypsonized and counted 48 h after irradation using a Z1 series coulter counter, and compared to cell numbers from wells counted on Day 1 (the day drug treatment is initiated). Proliferation after drug treatments are normalized to the control wells and expressed as % of the control treatment. Significance is analyzed using the Student’s T-test[2].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Lonafarnib is given once daily at 80mg/kg with twice weekly weightings to ensure accurate dosing. Temozolomide (Tem) is given by gavage at 5 mg/kg 90 min prior to XRT. For irradiation, anesthetized mice are placed in a lead shielding apparatus which limited radiation exposure to the head only. Treatment (2.5Gy/day for two days) is delivered using a Gammacell 40 irradiator delivering 100 rads/min. For in vivo combination experiments, suboptimal doses of XRT/Tem are selected to permit identification of synergistic effects of Lonafarnib.

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.
