CB 3703
CB 3703 is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). CB 3703 has an IC50 of 0.25 μM against rat TS, a Ki of 0.47 μM against mouse TS, an IC50 of 6.8 nM against rat DHFR, and a Ki of 0.6 pM against mouse DHFR. CB 3703 is transported via the reduced folate pathway, has a short plasma half-life, and can prolong the survival of tumor-bearing mice. CB 3703 can be used in the research of L1210 ascites tumors.

In Vitro
CB 3703 (6.8 nM-100 μM) potently inhibits rat liver DHFR (I50=6.8 nM) and Yoshida ascites sarcoma TS (I50=0.25 μM), and weakly inhibits other folate metabolizing enzymes at 100 μM[1].
CB 3703 potently inhibits purified L1210 cell DHFR (Ki=0.6 pM, competitive) and purified L1210 cell TS (Ki=0.47 μM, non-competitive), and weakly inhibits rat liver methionine synthetase (Ki=0.36 mM)[1].
CB 3703 (50 nM; 48 hr) toxicity to L1210 cells is partially reversed by thymidine or folinic acid alone, improved by their combination, and fully reversed only by thymidine plus hypoxanthine[1].
CB 3703 (0.019 μM; 48 hr) inhibits L1210 cell growth with an I50 of 0.019 μM[1].
CB 3703 (2-40 μM; 20 min) competes with methotrexate for uptake into L1210 cells, and weakly competes with folic acid, suggesting shared transport pathways[1].
CB 3703 (4 μM; 0-40 min) accumulates to ~10-fold higher intracellular levels than methotrexate in L1210 cells over 40 minutes, does not plateau within this time, and does not use the folic acid transport pathway[1].

In Vivo
CB 3703 (1-8 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) has an LD50 between 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg in healthy female (DBA2×C57B1)F1 mice following a single i.p. dose[1].
CB 3703 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) exhibits a plasma half-life of 1.54 hours in healthy female (DBA2×C57B1)F1 mice following a single 10 mg/kg i.p. dose, with barely detectable levels at 24 hours[1].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Protocol for Pharmacokinetic Study
Pharmacokinetic studies quantify how an organism handles a drug over time through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and the core experimental readout is the concentration-time profile of parent drug and, when relevant, metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma, whole blood, urine, bile, or tissue. Pharmacokinetic analysis links dose, route, exposure, clearance, half-life, distribution, bioavailability, and systemic exposure to drug efficacy and toxicity hypotheses rather than measuring a signaling pathway directly. The literature links pharmacokinetics to drug-development phenotypes by showing that drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics influence compound progression, exposure-response interpretation, safety margins, dosing strategy, and failure risk during discovery and development. DMPK science contributes to compound optimization by integrating physicochemical properties, in vitro metabolism, transporter behavior, in vivo exposure, and pharmacodynamic contex
