Description of DFP00173

DFP00173 is an aquaporin-3 (AQP3) inhibitor that inhibits mouse and human AQP3 with an IC50 value of approximately 0.1-0.4μM, exhibiting antitumor activity[1, 2]. DFP00173 effectively inhibits intracellular H2O2 uptake[3].

In vitro, treatment of multiple myeloma cell lines (RPMI8226, KMS-11, U266, KMS-27) with DFP00173 (1μM) for 1-6 days significantly reduced the survival rate of all four cell lines, but did not significantly increase the rate of apoptosis, and inhibited cellular mitochondrial respiration[4]. Treatment of HCT8 cells with DFP00173 (5μM) for 45min reduced cell viability and glycerol uptake[5].

In vivo, DFP00173 (20mg/kg) administered via intradiscal injection for 5 weeks in a rat model of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) induced by annular puncture (AFP) restored the intervertebral disc space in IVDD rats[6].

Protocol of DFP00173

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

RPMI8226, KMS-11, U266, KMS-27 cells

Preparation Method

Cells were incubated with anti-AQP3 mAb (1µg/mL), an equal concentration of control IgG (mouse IgG2a isotype control), DFP00173 (1µM), or vehicle (0.01% DMSO) for 1-6 days. Cell viability was quantified using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability assay.

Reaction Conditions

1µM; 1-6 days

Applications

Both anti-AQP3 mAb (1µg/mL) and DFP00173 (1µM) significantly reduced the numbers of viable RPMI8226, KMS-11, U266, and KMS-27 cells compared to corresponding controls treated with IgG.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Sprague-Dawley rats

Preparation Method

Rats were randomly allocated into four experimental groups using stratified randomization based on body weight: Control, Annulus fibrosus puncture (AFP), AFP+AQP3 inhibitor DFP00173, AFP+AAV-AQP3. Animals were anesthetized via intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital (40mg/kg) and positioned prone on a warming pad. Under fluoroscopic guidance (C-arm Ziehm Vision RFD 3D), the caudal intervertebral disc (Co6/7 level) was exposed through a posterolateral approach. A 26-gauge spinal needle was inserted perpendicular to the annulus fibrosus at 5mm depth, followed by 360° rotation with 30-second dwell timeto induce controlled annular injury. DFP00173 (20mg/kg) or AAV-AQP3 solution were intradiscally injected using a microsyringe. Postoperative analgesia was maintained with meloxicam for 72h. Weekly booster injections were administered under isoflurane anesthesia.

Dosage form

20mg/kg; 5 weeks; intradiscally injected

Applications

After 5 weeks of treatment with DFP00173, micro-CT imaging showed that the intervertebral disc space width was restored in rats.
