(Synonyms: CI-921; NSC 343499)

Asulacrine (CI-921) is an orally active DNA intercalating topoisomerase II inhibitor. Asulacrine binds to DNA via intercalation, with its acridine chromophore intercalated between base pairs and substituents located in the major/minor grooves, which stabilizes DNA against acid denaturation. Asulacrine acts as a cell cycle inhibitor, disruptor, and arrest inducer, slowing cell progression in late S/G2 phase, causing G2 phase arrest and inducing unbalanced growth. Asulacrine inhibits cell growth, clonogenicity, and colony formation, and leads to histological destruction of tumor cells. Compared to cells in exponential growth phase, Asulacrine exhibits lower toxicity to quiescent cells; its activity depends on cationic properties, and it has better water solubility and metabolic stability. Asulacrine can be used in research related to leukemia, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, adriamycin-resistant mammary adenocarcinoma, and mouse solid tumors.

In Vitro

Asulacrine (CI-921) (80 nM, 190 nM; 1 h pulse incubation) reduces the colony formation rate of exponentially growing Chinese hamster ovary cells by 50%^[3].
Continuous incubation of exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells with Asulacrine (9.5 nM) for 24 h inhibits cell growth by 50%^[3].
Asulacrine (67.5 nM; 1 h pulse incubation, followed by 23 h in drug-free medium) inhibits the growth of exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells by 50% at 24 h post-exposure^[3].
Continuous incubation with Asulacrine (10-50 nM; 24 h) slows the proliferation rate of exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells and prolongs their progression through late S phase and G₂ phase; in contrast, 50 nM of this agent induces irreversible G₂ phase arrest, complete growth arrest, and unbalanced growth accompanied by increased RNA and protein content^[3].
Asulacrine (10-100 nM; 1 h pulse incubation, followed by 23 h in drug-free medium) causes transient S-phase and G₂M-phase arrest in exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells, while doses of 50 nM and 100 nM induce prolonged G₂M-phase arrest and polyploid cells. In addition, the 100 nM dose increases cellular RNA content^[3].
Asulacrine (25-100 nM; 1 h pulse incubation, followed by up to 23 h in drug-free medium) causes S-phase accumulation and prolongs S-phase progression in exponentially growing Chinese hamster ovary cells. Specifically, 100 nM induces persistent G₂M-phase arrest, and all tested concentrations increase the RNA content of G₂M-phase cells^[3].
Asulacrine (10-50 nM; 7 h continuous incubation with vinblastine) slows the progression of exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells through late S and G₂ phases; a concentration of 50 nM causes severe S-phase arrest and complete mitotic block within 30 min, while both concentrations have no effect on G₁ phase exit^[3].
Asulacrine (10-50 nM; 7 h continuous incubation with vinblastine) stabilizes chromatin in exponentially growing Friend erythroleukemia cells, rendering it resistant to acid denaturation, which supports DNA intercalation as its binding mechanism^[3].

Caused a small accumulation of cells in S and G₂M phases at 4 h, with cells subsequently dividing and returning to normal cell cycle distribution by 24 h.
Caused accumulation of cells in S phase at 4 h and near-total accumulation in G₂M phase at 8 h; by 24 h, some cells had divided to reenter G₁ and S phases, while others progressed to higher ploidy levels.
Caused a 72% increase in RNA content of G₂M cells measured 24 h post-exposure.

Cell Cycle Analysis^[3]

Cell Line:

exponentially growing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells
Concentration:

25, 50, 100 nM
Incubation Time:

1 h (pulse incubation, followed by up to 23 h in drug-free medium)
Result:

Caused accumulation of cells in S phase at 4 h, with prolonged slowdown in S phase transit at 8 h.
By 24 h, cells treated with 25 nM or 50 nM had mostly divided and reentered the cell cycle, while 100 nM continued to block a large number of cells in G₂M phase.
All concentrations induced a small percentage of higher-ploidy cells, and 25 nM, 50 nM, and 100 nM caused increases in G₂M cell RNA content measured 24 h post-exposure.

In Vivo

Asulacrine (CI-921) exhibits potent in vivo antitumor activity against a variety of mouse solid tumors, human xenografts, and adriamycin-resistant mouse tumors. It shows synergistic activity when combined with Cisplatin (HY-17394) and has favorable oral bioavailability^[3].
Asulacrine (20 mg/kg/dose; intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 1, 5, and 9; total dose 60 mg/kg) exhibits the optimal antitumor activity among the tested administration regimens in F₁ hybrid mice intravenously inoculated with Lewis lung cancer cells, prolongs the lifespan of mice by 228%, and enables long-term survival on day 60 in 10 out of 11 mice^[5].
Asulacrine (30 mg/kg/dose; intraperitoneal or intravenous injection; administered on days 1, 5, and 9; total dose 90 mg/kg) exhibits moderate antitumor activity in F₁ hybrid mice subcutaneously inoculated with P388 leukemia cells, prolonging the maximum lifespan of mice by up to 48%, but no long-term surviving mice are observed^[5].
Asulacrine (30 mg/kg per dose; intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 1, 5 and 9; total dose 90 mg/kg) exhibits the optimal antileukemic activity among the tested administration regimens in F₁ hybrid mice intraperitoneally inoculated with P388 leukemia cells, prolongs the lifespan of mice by 210%, and enables long-term survival up to day 50 in 5 out of 6 mice^[5].
Asulacrine (3.9-45 mg/kg per dose; intraperitoneal injection; administered according to different regimens starting on day 9) prolongs the survival of mice with advanced Lewis lung cancer, and a significant linear correlation exists between the total administered dose and lifespan extension. Tumor responses are accompanied by histological tumor cell destruction; however, in subcutaneous tumor models, tumor volume does not decrease immediately even when obvious tumor cell killing occurs^[4].
Asulacrine (20 mg/kg per dose; intraperitoneal injection; administered on days 9, 12, and 15) induces histological destruction of pulmonary tumor nodules in mice with advanced Lewis lung cancer, characterized by tumor cell swelling, multinucleation, reduction in pulmonary tumor nodules, and disappearance of visible plaques on the lung surface^[4].
Asulacrine (30 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) induces G2 phase arrest in subcutaneous Lewis lung cancer cells in mice. The proportion of G2 phase tumor cells increases significantly at 8 h post-administration and reaches maximal accumulation at 24 h^[4].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
