Description of Exatecan (DX-8951)

Exatecan (DX-8951) is a nonprodrug camptothecin (CPT) derivative, exhibits significant topoisomerase I inhibition [1]. Exatecan (DX-8951) inhibited topoisomerase I with IC50 of 2.2 µM (0.975 µg/ml) [2].

Exatecan (DX-8951) and SN-38 inhibited topoisomerase activity with IC50 values of 0.82 and 2.3 µg/mL, respectively, topoisomerase I was obtained from SUIT-2 cells [3]. Exatecan (DX-8951)(20 ng/ml) induced DNA fragmentation. In an extract from treated SUIT-2 cells, about 60% of DNA was fragmented at the Exatecan (DX-8951) concentration of 20 ng/ml. Exatecan (DX-8951)(0.05 µg/ml, 24 h ) induced the specific features of apoptosis, namely chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation and cytoplasmic vacuolation were apparent in SUIT-2 cells [3].

Exatecan (DX-8951) has shown activity in vivo against a wide range of human tumor xenografts in nude mice, including gastric, pancreatic, colon, breast, ovary, and lung tumors [4]. Exatecan (DX-8951) suppressed the growth of human gastric adenocarcinoma SC-6 xenografted into nude mice. When mice were treated i.v. with Exatecan (DX-8951) three times at 4-day intervals, significant inhibition of tumor growth was observed over a wide dose range (3.325 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg of total dose) without toxic death. Its antitumor activity was dependent on the total dose, and at the highest dose of 50 mg/kg, the tumor growth inhibition rate was 92% [2].

Protocol of Exatecan (DX-8951)

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

32 malignant cell lines

Preparation Method

Thus 500-20,000 cells/well in 150 u1 of medium were plated in 96-well flat-bottomed microplates and grown for 24h (P388, CCRF-CEM and K562 cells for 4h), the Exatecan (DX-8951) (in 50 µl medium/well), or the medium alone as a control was added, and the cells were cultured for an additional 3 days. Then calculated Growth inhibition of 50% (GI50) .

Reaction Conditions

Different concentrations for 24 h

Applications

Exatecan (DX-8951) showed strong antiproliferating activity,and the mean GI50 values against breast cancers colon cancers, stomach cancers, and lung cancers were 2.02 ng/ml, 2.92 ng/ml, 1.53 ng/ml, and 0.877 ng/ml respectively.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male 6-week-old BALB/c-nu/nu nude mice

Preparation Method

The human tumor lines inoculated s.c. into nude mice and maintained as solid tumors. Various human tumors maintained in nude mice were excised and

Dosage form

50 mg/kg, i.v.

Applications

The q4d×4 schedule more readily caused the regressive effects of Exatecan (DX-8951) compared with the q7d×3, and a schedule of q4d×3 more frequently permitted regrowth of tumors than did the q4d×4 schedule.
