Biological Activity
IC50: 0.33 μM (telomerase in the TRAP assay)[1].
RHPS4 could sensitize tumor cells to anticancer agents that act via disparate mechanisms[1].
?
RHPS4 (0.5-1 μM, 15 days) induces a senescent-like growth arrest in MCF-7 cells[1].
?
RHPS4 (1 μM, 4 days) induces phosphorylation of H2AX in transformed and tumor cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:MCF-7, MCF-7 vector control, and MCF-7 c81 cells.
-
Concentration:0, 0.2, 0.5, or 1 μM.
-
Incubation Time:7 days.
-
Result:Inhibited cell proliferation.
? In all the other tumor xenografts, RHPS4 treatment produces about 50% (P < 0.001) TWI at the nadir of the effect and, more important, results in a delay of tumor growth of about 15 (M14 and PC3) and 10 (HT29 and H460) days[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:CD-1 male nude (nu/nu) mice, 6–8 weeks old and weighing 22-24 g (H460, CG5 and HT29, PC3 and M14 cancer models)[2].
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg.
-
Administration:IV, daily for 15 consecutive days.
-
Result:Active as a single agent on all the tumors analyzed. CG5 breast xenografts resulted in the most sensitive tumor.
