Témozolomide (NSC 362856) est un alkylant ADN actif oral qui traverse la barrière hémato-encéphalique. Témozolomide est également un agent proautophagique et proapoptotique. Témozolomide est efficace contre les cellules tumorales qui se caractérisent par de faibles niveaux d'ADN alkylgransine O6-alkylguanine (OGAT) et un système de réparation des disparités fonctionnelles. Témozolomide a des effets antitumoraux et antiangiogéniques.

    Description

    Temozolomide (NSC 362856) is an oral active DNA alkylating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Temozolomide is also a proautophagic and proapoptotic agent. Temozolomide is effective against tumor cells that are characterized by low levels of O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT) and a functional mismatch repair system. Temozolomide has antitumor and antiangiogenic effects[1][2].

    IC50 & Target

    DNA alkylator[1]

    In Vitro

    Temozolomide (TZM) is a methylating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is indicated for malignant gliomas and metastatic melanomas. Temozolomide is effective against tumor cells that are characterized by low levels of O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT) and a functional mismatch repair system (MR)[1]. Determination of the IC50 for Temozolomide (TZM) in different cell lines gave values ranging from 14.1 to 234.6 μM that fell into two clearly differentiated groups: cell lines with low IC50 values (<50 μM), which include A172 (14.1±1.1 μM) and LN229 cells (14.5±1.1 μM), and those with high IC50 values (>100 μM), which include SF268 (147.2±2.1 μM) and SK-N-SH cells (234.6±2.3 μM)[3].

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

    In Vivo

    Temozolomide (TZM), as a single agent, does not significantly increase mdian survival time (MST) with respect to control. Noteworthy, intracranial injection of NU1025, immediately before the administration of 100 or 200 mg/kg Temozolomide, significantly increases lifespans with respect to controls or to groups treated with Temozolomide only. When Temozolomide is fractionated, the increase in lifespan (ILS) obtained with this schedule is higher than that observed when NU1025 is combined with a single injection of Temozolomide (statistical comparison of survival curves: NU1025 intracranially+Temozolomide 100 mg/kg×2 vs NU1025+Temozolomide 200 mg/kg; P=0.023)[1].

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    The murine lymphoma cell line L5178Y of DBA/2 (H-2d/H-2d) origin is cultured in RPMI-1640 containing 10% fetal calf serum and antibiotics. Inhibition of PARP is obtained by treating cells (105 cells/mL) with 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinazolin-4[3H]-1 (NU1025), at a concentration (25 μM) that abrogates PARP activity. Cells are then exposed to Temozolomide (7.5-125 μM) and are cultured for 3 days. Cell growth is evaluated by counting viable cells in quadruplicate, and apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry analysis of DNA content. Long-term survival is analyzed by colony-formation assay[1].

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

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice[1]
    Male B6D2F1 (C57BL/6×DBA/2) mice are used. L5178Y cells (104 in 0.03 mL RPMI-1640) are then injected intracranially, through the center-middle area of the frontal bone to a 2-mm depth, using a 0.1-mL glass microsyringe and a 27-gauge disposable needle. To evaluate tumor cell growth, brains are fixed in 10% phosphate-buffered formaldehyde, and histologic sections (5 μm) are cut along the axial plane, stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and analyzed by light microscopy. Temozolomide is dissolved in DMSO (40 mg/mL), diluted in saline (5 mg/mL), and administered intraperitoneally on day 2 after tumor injection at 100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg, doses commonly used for in vivo preclinical studies. Because cytotoxicity induced by Temozolomide and PARP inhibitors can be improved by fractionated modality of treatment, in selected groups a total dose of 200 mg/kg Temozolomide is divided in 2 doses of 100 mg/kg given on days 2 and 3.

    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.
