    Description

    Verteporfin (CL 318952) is a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as age-related macular degeneration. Verteporfin is a YAP inhibitor which disrupts YAP-TEAD interactions. Verteporfin induces cell apoptosis[1]. Verteporfinis an autophagy inhibitor that blocks autophagy at an early stage by inhibiting autophagosome formation[3].

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: YAP-TEAD interaction

    In Vitro

    Verteporfin is specifically selected by PDX-cell screening. The concentrations to cause 50% growth inhibition (GI50) for PhLO, PhLH, and PhLK are 228 nM, 395 nM, and 538 nM, respectively, whereas GI50 for ALL-1, TCC-Y/sr, and NPhA1 are 3.93 μM, 2.11 μM, and 5.61 μM, respectively. GSH significantly reduces the sensitivity of 2 out of 3 PDX cells to verteporfin. Verteporfin reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential in PDX cells[1]. Verteporfin reduces the PTX-resistance on HCT-8/T cells by inhibiting YAP expression and combination therapy with verteporfin and NSC 125973 shows synergism on inhibition of YAP and cytotoxicity to HCT-8/T[2].

    In Vivo

    Verteporfin (10 mg/kg, c.s.c.) and BMS-354825 significantly reduces the leukemia cell ratio, and combined therapy further reduced the number of leukemia cells in the spleen[1].

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    PDX cells co-cultured with S17 cells are treated with 16 combinations of verteporfin (60 nM, 120 nM, 180 nM, and 240 nM) and BMS-354825 (12 nM, 24 nM, 36 nM, and 48 nM). The viabilities of cells treated with each combination are measured after 48 h using FACS Aria flow cytometer. In order to estimate drug interaction between verteporfin and BMS-354825, a normalized isobologram and fraction affectedcombination index (CI) plot are made using CompuSyn software. CI values greater than 1.0 indicated antagonistic effects, equal to 1.0 additive effects, and below 1.0 synergistic effects.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice: PhLO cells (1.0×107/mouse) are injected intravenously into 6-week-old male NOG mice, which are then treated with vehicle, verteporfin (140 mg/kg/day), BMS-354825 (20 mg/kg/day), and a combination of these drugs from days 22 to 28. Verteporfin is administered by continuous subcutaneous infusion (c.s.c.) using Alzet osmotic pumps. An intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) is performed for BMS-354825. All mice are sacrificed on day 28 and the chimerism of leukemia cells is investigated by flow cytometer using an anti-human CD19 antibody and antimouse CD45 antibody. Blood concentrations of verteporfin are calculated by LCMS-2020.

    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.
