DPAP is a p-ERK1/2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 7.85 μM against p-ERK1/2. DPAP inhibits the expression of p-MEK1/2 and disrupts the Ras-ERK signaling pathway. DPAP inhibits the expression of COX-2 in nerve cells. DPAP damages DNA and mitochondria, induces Apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway, and upregulates PD-L1. DPAP inhibits melanoma metastasis and angiogenesis, and inactivates spinal microglia and astrocytes. DPAP exhibits anti-melanoma activity and can be combined with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies to modify anti-tumor effects. DPAP is applicable for the research of melanoma.

IC50 & Target[1]

COX-2

 

In Vitro

The cellular uptake of DPAP (2 μM; 72 h) in A375 melanoma cells is 2.53-fold higher than that of CDDP[1].
DPAP (72 h) inhibits the proliferation of melanoma A375 cells, mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells, and normal renal HK-2 cells. After 72 h of incubation, its IC50 values are 8.05 μM, 5.96 μM, and 35.12 μM, respectively, indicating selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells[1].
DPAP (1-8 μM; 72 h) increases the level of DNA-bound Pt in A375 melanoma cells; at 8 μM for 72 h, it upregulates the expression of γ-H2AX, indicating the presence of DNA damage[1].
DPAP (8 μM; 48 h) induces S-phase cell cycle arrest in melanoma A375 cells[1].
DPAP (8 μM; 72 h) regulates the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (upregulating Cyt c and Bax, downregulating Bcl-2) and induces late apoptosis in human melanoma A375 cells[1].
DPAP (8 μM; 72 h) regulates the Ras-ERK signaling pathway in melanoma A375 cells[1].
DPAP (8 μM; 24 h) downregulates the expressions of p-ERK1/2 and COX-2, but does not alter the expression of NF-L, in HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells[1].

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A375 cells
Concentration: 8 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Arrested A375 cells primarily in the S phase, similar to CDDP, indicating inhibition of DNA synthesis.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A375 cells
Concentration: 8 μM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Significantly downregulated p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 expression relative to control cells, while having only slight effects on NRAS, MEK1/2, and ERK1/2 expression.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HT22 cells
Concentration: 8 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Suppressed p-ERK1/2 and COX-2 expression in HT22 cells relative to control cells, and did not affect NF-L expression, unlike CDDP which reduced NF-L levels.
In Vivo

DPAP (1.5 mg Pt kg-1; intravenous injection; once every 2 days; for 15 consecutive days) exhibits potent in vivo anti-melanoma activity, reducing tumor volume to 26.8% and tumor weight to 8.4% of those in the PBS control group. No systemic toxicity is observed, and it effectively inhibits the Ras-ERK pathway and angiogenesis[1].
DPAP (1.5 mg Pt kg−1; intravenous injection; once every 2 days; for 1 week) inhibits the activation of microglia and astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn of melanoma-bearing mice, demonstrating potential to alleviate cancer pain-related central sensitization[1].
Combination treatment with DPAP (2.5 mg Pt kg-1; intravenous injection; once every 2 days; for 2 consecutive weeks) and anti-PD-1 mAb (12.5 mg kg-1; intravenous injection; administered on days 4, 9 and 14) synergistically enhances the anti-melanoma efficacy[1].
DPAP (10-40 mg kg-1; intravenous injection; once every 2 days) exhibits a high median lethal dose of 33.60 mg kg-1 and favorable biocompatibility in healthy female C57BL/6 mice[1].

Animal Model: C57BL/6 (female, 6−8 weeks old, 18−20 g, subcutaneous inoculation of murine B16−F10 melanoma cells, tumors grown to ~50 mm3)[1]
Dosage: 1.5 mg Pt kg-1
Administration: i.v.; once every 2 days; 15 days
Result: Reduced average tumor weight to 0.10 g, compared to 1.19 g in the PBS control group.
Reduced average tumor volume to 412.11 mm3, compared to 1539.47 mm3 in the PBS control group.
Caused no significant change in mouse body weight relative to the PBS group.
Showed no apparent alterations in heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues via histological examination.
Significantly reduced the fluorescence intensity of p-ERK1/2 in tumor tissue.
Significantly weakened the fluorescence intensity of VEGF-A in tumor tissue.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
