Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate (Diethyldithiocarbamic acid copper salt) is a Copper(II) and diethyldithiocarbamate coordination polymer. Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate binds tightly to NPL4 and induces its aggregation, disrupting the p97-NPL4-UFD1 pathway. Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate causes ubiquitinated proteins accumulation and impairs waste proteins degradation, thus resulting in cell apoptosis. Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate inhibits tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 xenograft mice models. Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate can be used for the research of cancer, such as breast cancer.

Caspase 3 |
Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate (Compound CuET) (16-4000 nM; 48 h) delivered via CuET NPs and CuET@HA NPs is more cytotoxic to MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (IC50 115 nM and 97 nM, respectively) than to normal HEK-293 kidney cells (IC50 389 nM and 407.4 nM, respectively)[1].
Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate (0.1-1.0 μM; 24 h) delivered via CuET NPs induces concentration-dependent accumulation of poly-ubiquitylated proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells, confirming inhibition of the p97-NPL4 pathway[1].
Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate (0.5-5 μM; 24 h) delivered via CuET NPs and CuET@HA NPs induces concentration-dependent cell death in MDA-MB-231 cells after 24 h of incubation[1].
Copper(II) diethyldithiocarbamate (100-200 nM; 48 h) delivered via CuET NPs and CuET@HA NPs significantly inhibits colony formation in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].

Animal Model:BALB/c nude with MDA-MB-231 xenograft (female, 6 weeks old)[1]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg (equivalent diethyldithiocarbamate dose)
-
Administration:i.v.
-
Result:Inhibited tumor growth significantly over 14 days, with CuET@HA NPs showing the most potent efficacy (slowest tumor growth rate and smallest final tumor size).
Induced the most distinct nuclear necrosis in tumor tissue on H&E staining (CuET@HA NP-treated mice).
Increased caspase-3 activation to the highest level on immunofluorescence staining (CuET@HA NP-treated mice).
Caused the greatest extent of apoptosis on TUNEL staining (CuET@HA NP-treated mice).
Caused no noticeable mouse weight loss or pathological changes in major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney) during treatment.
