Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium
Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium is a synthetic intracellular energy buffer. Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium mediates antiproliferative activity in cells with high creatine kinase levels and inhibits solid tumor growth. Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium maintains adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and protects tissues from hypoxia, cellular damage and inflammation during ischemic events. Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium accumulates in skeletal muscle, reduces muscle phosphocreatine and total creatine levels, and acts both as a bioenergetic/anti-inflammatory agent and an experimental tool for the assessment of ischemic injury. Cyclocreatine phosphate dilithium can be used in studies related to solid tumors, heart failure and ischemia.

Biological Activity
Cyclocreatine phosphate (dilithium) is taken up by and inhibits the growth of high-CK solid tumor cell lines, with antiproliferative specificity and potency similar to cyclocreatine[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cyclocreatine phosphate (0.8 g/kg/day; intraperitoneal injection; administered daily for 14 consecutive days) dilithium shows no cardiotoxicity in healthy Wistar rats, with all tested cardiac parameters remaining normal[2].

-
Animal Model:Wistar (adult male, 6-8 weeks old, 180-220 g; isoproterenol-induced heart failure); Wistar albino (adult male, 170-190 g; isoproterenol-induced heart failure)[2]
-
Dosage:0.4 g/kg/day (prophylactic); 0.8 g/kg/day (prophylactic, therapeutic, toxicity control); 1.2 g/kg/day (prophylactic)
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 14 days (prophylactic, therapeutic, toxicity control); i.p.; daily; 14 days starting 1 h after second isoproterenol dose (therapeutic)
-
Result:Prophylactically prevented isoproterenol-induced heart failure in rats.
Resuscitated poorly functioning hearts, with all doses restoring ejection fraction, reducing cardiac biomarkers and remodeling, and maintaining normal physical activity without cardiac toxicity.
