Description of Didox

Didox is a synthetic antioxidant.

Polyhydroxylated aromatic compounds, both natural and synthetic, are important biological antioxidants.

In vitro: In a previous study, the brain tissue from patients with HIV encephalitis was immunostained for lipid peroxidation. The presence of oxidized proteins in the CSF and CSF-induced progressive decrease in mitochondrial activity correlated with the severity of cognitive impairment. Didox together with L-deprenyl, imidate, diosgenin, and ebselen could block the CSF-induced toxicity. No effect of trimidox, ruthenium red, or Quercetin was seen [1]. Another study found that the exposure of didox prior or post to radiation in both PC-3/vector and PC-3/Bcl-2 transfectants led to an increase in radiation enhancement ratios. A significant reduction in G(2)M phase was observed in cells exposed to didox post IR when compared to cells exposed to IR alone. In addition, the exposure to didox after radiation in PC-3/vector significantly abrogated radiation-induced Bcl-2 upregulation [2].

In vivo: In syngeneic, therapy-resistant AML models, single agent didox treatment led to a significant reduction in leukemia burden and a survival benefit. Didox was well tolerated and didox exposure at levels that impaired leukemia growth did not inhibit normal HSC engraftment [3].

Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.

Protocol of Didox

Cell experiment:

RAW264.7 macrophages are treated with Didox alone, with 0.1 μg/mL LPS, or the two in combination. Cellular respiration, as an indication of cytotoxicity, is measured by the MTT assay, which quantifies mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. Macrophages are plated into 96 well Costar plates at 105 cells per well in 100 μL of DMEM media. After 4 h of incubation at 37°C for adherence, compounds and DMSO carrier control (0.01% final) are added in triplicate over serial dilutions beginning with 200 μM per well in a total volume of 200 μL, and the plates incubated for 24 h. Four h before termination of the assay, each well receives 20 μL of a 5 mg/mL MTT solution in un-supplemented DMEM. After centrifugation, the supernatant for each well is discarded and cells containing reduced MTT are solubilized with 100 μL of acidified isopropanol (4 mM HCl, 0.1% NP-40 in isopropanol). Following a brief period of shaking, the optical density (O.D.) for each well is recorded at 550 nm. Each experiment is repeated three times and the data averaged from each triplicate, then expressed as percentage of the control O.D. values for each experiment[1].

Animal experiment:

Mice[2]Luciferase-tagged leukemia cells are transplanted into 8- week old, sublethally irradiated (4.5 Gy) C57Bl/6 mice by tail vein injection of 1.0×106 cells per mouse. Mice are injected with 150 mg/kg D-Luciferin, anesthetised with Isoflurane, and imaged using the IVIS 100 imaging system. Mice begin treatment with Didox upon detection of clear signal. The animals are treated with daily administrations of Didox (NSC-324360) at 425 mg/kg Didox by intraperitoneal injection (IP) for 5 days. Control animals receive 5% dextrose water by IP injection. Repeat imaging is performed on the day following the final treatment[2].
