COTI-2 hydrochloride
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
COTI-2 hydrochloride is an orally active thiosemicarbazone anticancer agent and p53 mutant activator. COTI-2 hydrochloride induces Apoptosis. COTI-2 hydrochloride triggers the activation of AMPK and the inhibition of the mTOR pathway. COTI-2 hydrochloride induces DNA damage and replication stress responses. COTI-2 hydrochloride binds to misfolded mutant p53 proteins, thereby inducing conformational changes that restore p53 to its normal state and reactivate its function. COTI-2 hydrochloride acts on a variety of cancer cell lines and xenografts. COTI-2 hydrochloride can be used in research related to colorectal cancer, small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer.

Biological Activity
COTI-2 (72 h treatment) hydrochloride inhibits the proliferation of all tested cancer cell lines, including HEC-1A, Ovcar-8, KLE, HL-60, A549 and H226, with IC50 values ranging from near 0 nM to over 200 nM after 72 h of treatment[1].
COTI-2 (96 h treatment) hydrochloride potently inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cell lines SW620, COLO-205 and HCT-15, as well as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines H292 and H1975, and exhibits superior efficacy to Cetuximab (HY-P9905) or Erlotinib (HY-50896) after 96 h of treatment[1].
COTI-2 (4-7 days) hydrochloride inhibits the proliferation of U87-MG, SNB-19, SF-268 and SF-295 glioblastoma cell lines, with IC50 values in the nanomolar range; after 4-7 days of treatment, its potency against U87-MG and SNB-19 cell lines is 10 to 500-fold that of Cisplatin (HY-17394) and BCNU (HY-13585)[1].
COTI-2 (100-1000 nM; 48 h) hydrochloride induces apoptosis in small cell lung cancer SHP-77 cells. Specifically, treatment with IC50 concentrations (100 nM, 250 nM) for 48 h results in early apoptosis in 40.13% to 46.68% of cells, while treatment with the IC90 concentration (1000 nM) for 48 h induces early apoptosis as well as late apoptosis/necrosis in most cells[1].

-
Concentration:100 nM, 250 nM, 1000 nM
-
Incubation Time:48 h
-
Result:Induced early apoptosis in 40.13% to 46.68% of total cells at IC50 concentrations (100 nM, 250 nM).

COTI-2 (3 mg/kg; i.p.; once every two days; up to 38 days) hydrochloride effectively inhibits the growth of SHP-77 small cell lung cancer xenografts, and exhibits superior efficacy compared with standard chemotherapy compounds[1].
COTI-2 (8 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; three times per week) hydrochloride doubles the time required for U87-MG glioblastoma xenografts to reach the target tumor volume, and significantly delays tumor growth[1].
COTI-2 (200 mg/kg; p.o.; 5 days per week) hydrochloride significantly inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer xenografts[1].
