Topoisomerase II |
Pixantrone (0-10 μM, 72 h) dimaleate induces cell death in multiple cancer cell lines independent of cell cycle perturbation, with IC50s of 37.3 nM, 126 nM and 136 nM for T47D, MCF-10A and OVCAR5 cells, respectively[1].
?
Pixantrone (25-500 nM, 2 4 h) dimaleate induces DNA damage at high concentration of 500 nM and induces severe chromosomal aberrations and mitotic catastrophe in PANC1 cells[1].
?
Pixantrone (100 nM, 24 h) dimaleate may disrupt chromosome segregation because of generating merotelic kinetochore attachments that cause chromosome non-disjunction[1].
?
Pixantrone (0-100 μM, 72 h) dimaleate potently inhibits growth of human leukemia K562 cells, etoposide-resistant K/VP.5 cells, MDCK and ABCB1-transfected MDCK/MDR cells with IC50s of 0.10 μM, 0.56 μM, 0.058 μM and 4.5 μM, respectively[2].
?
Pixantrone (0.01-0.2 μM) dimaleate leads to a concentration-dependent formation of linear DNA through acting on topoisomerase Iiα and produces semiquinone free radicals in an enzymatic reducing system, although not in a cellular system, most likely due to low cellular uptake[2].
?
Pixantrone (0.01-10 μM) dimaleate shows potent inhibitory activities against rat 97-116 peptide-specific T cell proliferation[4].

? Pixantrone (i.v., 16.25 mg/kg, every week, three times) dimaleate modulates Lymph node cells (LNC) responses, affacts T cell subpopulations in TAChR-immunized Lewis rats and also shows preventive and therapeutic effect in experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) rats[4].

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

Protocol
Briefly, cells seeded into 96-well plates are treated with increasing concentrations of either pixantrone or doxorubicin for 72 hours. After this time, MTS reagent is added to cells and incubated at 37°C for a further 4 hours. Cell proliferation is then determined by measuring the absorbance at 490 nm. All data points are normalized to untreated cells. All treatments are performed in triplicate and performed a minimum of 3 times[1].

Mice[3]
To evaluate the potential cardiotoxicity of Pixantrone in doxorubicin-pretreated mice, doxorubicin 7.5 mg/kg is administered intravenously every 7 days for 3 weeks (1 cycle) to a group of CD1 females. Six weeks later, these mice receive either 0.9% saline (vehicle), doxorubicin 7.5 mg/kg, Pixantrone 27 mg/kg, or mitoxantrone 3 mg/kg intravenously every 7 days for 3 weeks (2 cycles). Animals are sacrificed after the first cycle at 8 weeks, and after the second cycle at 16 weeks. In addition, to evaluate the potential cardiotoxicity of Pixantrone as a single agent compared with doxorubicin and mitoxantrone, CD1 female mice receive a single or a double cycle of vehicle, doxorubicin 7.5 mg/kg, Pixantrone 27 mg/kg, or mitoxantrone 3 mg/kg. These animals are sacrificed after the first and second cycles (at 8 and 16 weeks, all groups), during week 14 (Pixantrone-treated group only) and during week 22 (Pixantrone- and vehicle-treated groups)[3].
Rats[4]
For the studies on Pixantrone efficacy on EAMG, TAChR-immunized rats are randomly assigned to different treatment groups: 1) preventive Pixantrone group, starting 4 days after immunization, with 16.25 mg/kg Pixantrone, administered i.v. via tail vein, once a week for three times; 2) therapeutic Pixantrone group, starting 4 wk after immunization, with 16.25 mg/kg Pixantrone, administered i.v. via tail vein, once a week for three times; 3) therapeutic MTX group (1.2 mg/kg, i.v. via tail vein, once a week for three times); and 4) vehicle group (sterile saline, i.v. via tail vein, once a week for three times). The doses of Pixantrone and MTX used in this study are in both cases equal to one-fourth of the LD10 for single i.v. injection in rats. Treatment assignation is performed at day 4 after TAChR immunization (preventive schedule) in coincidence of the acute phase of EAMG, or at onset of clinical signs (therapeutic schedule), which occurs after 4 wk. Animals are sacrificed after deep anesthesia obtained by carbon dioxide; low-grade anesthesia with chloral hydrate administered i.p. is used for TAChR immunization and drug treatments[4].
