Declopramide
Declopramide (3-Chloroprocainamide) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable IκBβ/NF-κB inhibitor and chemosensitizer. Declopramide exhibits affinity for rabbit 5-HT3 receptors (5-HT3R) with a Ki value of 3.2 μM. Declopramide inhibits IκBβ degradation, blocks NFκB activation, and induces rapid apoptosis and DNA strand breaks in cancer cells. Declopramide enhances the cytotoxicity induced by Cisplatin (HY-17394) and is also metabolically converted to N-acetyl declopramide. Declopramide can be used in the research of tumors such as brain astrocytoma.

Biological Activity
Declopramide (250-1000 µM; 20 h) induces dose-dependent caspase-mediated early apoptosis in 70Z/3 mouse pre-B cells[1].
Declopramide (250-1000 µM; 24 h) inhibits LPS-induced activation of NF-κB in 70Z/3 mouse pre-B cells[1].
Declopramide inhibits the growth of HL60 and K562 leukemia cells in vitro, but its activity is weaker than that of its metabolite N-acetyl-declopramide[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:murine pre-B-cell line 70Z/3
-
Concentration:250 µM; 500 µM; 1000 µM; 500 µM (with 1 h ZVADfmk pretreatment)
-
Incubation Time:20 h; 17 h (with 1 h ZVADfmk pretreatment)
-
Result:Induced a dose-dependent increase in early apoptosis (Annexin V-positive/7AAD-negative cells) and corresponding decrease in viable (7AAD-negative) cells in 70Z/3 cells.
Reduced viable cell percentage and increased early apoptotic cell percentage relative to untreated cells at 500 µM.
Significantly reduced declopramide-induced apoptosis when caspase inhibitor ZVADfmk was used, measured via both 7AAD and Annexin V staining.
