Thiarabine hydrochloride
Thiarabine (OSI-7836) hydrochloride is an orally active cytotoxic antitumor agent that acts as a deoxycytidine kinase substrate and a DNA chain terminator. Thiarabine hydrochloride is metabolized to form its major active metabolite T-araCTP, which potently inhibits DNA synthesis and exhibits a long retention time in tumor cells. Thiarabine hydrochloride is widely applicable to research related to leukemia, lymphoma, hematologic malignancies, acute myeloid leukemia, and advanced solid malignancies.

Biological Activity
Thiarabine hydrochloride (1-10 μM) potently inhibits the growth of a panel of human tumor cell lines with IC50 values of 1 to 10 μM[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Thiarabine (22.5-90 mg/kg/dose; i.p.; daily; 9 consecutive days, days 1-9) hydrochloride is fully ineffective against thiarabine-resistant P388/T-araC leukemia in CD2F1 mice[1].
Thiarabine (100 mg/kg/dose; i.p.; single dose) hydrochloride is converted to its active metabolite T-araCTP at comparable levels in both thiarabine-sensitive P388/0 and thiarabine-resistant P388/T-araC leukemia cells in CD2F1 mice following a 100 mg/kg i.p. dose[1].

Animal Model:CD2F1 Mice (female, implanted intraperitoneally with 10^6 parental P388/0 leukemia cells)[1]
-
Dosage:45 mg/kg/dose; 90 mg/kg/dose
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 9 consecutive days (days 1-9)
-
Result:Produced a median increase in lifespan (ILS) of +136% in passage 0 parental P388/0-bearing mice, with a median treated lifespan of 26.0 days versus 11.0 days in untreated controls.
Produced median ILS values ranging from +163% to +220% and net log10 cell kill values ranging from +6.3 to >6.9 units (approximately 1,000,000-fold reduction in tumor burden) across four studies in parental P388/0-bearing mice; 1/6 mice were long-term (60-day) survivors in two of these studies.

-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 9 consecutive days (days 1-9)
-
Result:Produced median ILS values ranging from +4% to +13% across passage 8, 21, and selection studies in P388/T-araC-bearing mice, with median treated lifespans only marginally longer than untreated controls.
Produced median ILS values ranging from 0% to +9% and net log10 cell kill values of -1.8 to -1.9 units (almost 100-fold leukemia growth during treatment) across four studies in P388/T-araC-bearing mice; no long-term (60-day) survivors were observed.
Produced a median ILS of +8% in passage 8 P388/T-araC-bearing mice.
