Description

Namitecan is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, with antitumor property.

IC50 & Target[1]

Topoisomerase I

 

In Vitro

Namitecan and cetuximab cooperate in inhibiting EGFR expression. Namitecan induces a dose-dependent decrease in EGFR expression in the different cell lines[1]. ST1968 induces a comparable level of apoptosis in A431 and A431/TPT cells with IC50 of 0.21 and 0.29 μM[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Namitecan (10 mg/kg) in combination with cetuximab (1 mg/mouse) induces synergistic antitumor effects in SCC models as a function of EGFR gene copy number[1]. ST1968 (25 mg/kg) causes acceptable body weight loss and no toxic deaths. ST1968 produces a 100% complete response rate in the mice bearing the A431 tumor, and retains a relevant activity in the topotecan-resistant tumor[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.79 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.79 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

The antiproliferative activity is evaluated after 72 hours of drug exposure by cell counting. Drug concentrations able to inhibit cell proliferation by 50% (IC50) and 20% (IC20) are calculated from dose-response curves.

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

To generate tumor xenografts, exponentially growing cells (A431 and A431/topotecan, 107 cells/mouse; SiHa 2.5 × 107 cells/mouse, Caski 107 cells/mouse) are s.c. injected into the mice flanks. For antitumor activity studies, groups of four/five mice bearing tumor implanted in both flanks are used. Tumor fragments are implanted on day 0, and tumor growth is followed by biweekly measurements of tumor diameters with a Vernier caliper. Tumor volume (TV) is calculated according to the formula TV (mm3) = d2 × D/2, in which d and D are the shortest and the longest diameter, respectively. Treatment starts 5 to 13 days after implant, when the tumors are just palpable, but established (TV = 80-90 mm3). Namitecan, irinotecan, and cetuximab are administered every fourth day for four times. Cetuximab is given 1 hour after each administration of the camptothecin.

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.
