Description of Fludarabine

Fludarabine is a purine analog that inhibits DNA synthesis[1]. Fludarabine inhibits cytokine-induced activation of STAT1 and STAT1-dependent gene transcription in normal quiescent or activated lymphocytes[2]. Fludarabine is an anti-tumor agent used to treat leukemia and lymphoma[3].

In vitro, treatment of MEC-2 cells with Fludarabine (100μM) for 72h significantly reduced cell viability, induced cytochrome c release and DNA cleavage[4]. Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells with Fludarabine (3, 10, 30μM) for 24-72h induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner, increased intracellular phosphorylation of H2A histone family member X (H2AX), and led to DNA damage[5].

In vivo, treatment of BCL-1-bearing F1 mice with Fludarabine (0.8mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection reduced the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in mice and maintained the anti-leukemic effect after leukemic cell transplantation[6]. Treatment of SCID beige mice with Fludarabine (200mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection for 6 weeks promoted the engraftment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines[7].

Protocol of Fludarabine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MEC-2 cells、Flu-resistant clonal cells

Preparation Method

Cells were treated with or without 100µM Fludarabine for 72h and cell viability was analyzed by MTT. 

Reaction Conditions

100μM; 72h

Applications

Fludarabine induces MEC-2 cells apoptosis but not flu-resistant clonal cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

B-cell leukemia (BCL-1) bearing (BALB/c×C57BL/6) F1 mice 

Preparation Method

Mice received 105 BCL-1 leukemic cells and 1 day later were given 0.8mg/kg Fludarabine intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days. 2 weeks later, mice received another 5-day cycle of 0.8mg/kg Fludarabine and 2 weeks later received 400mg/kg cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally. Control animals received saline instead of fludarabine. One day after cyclophosphamide treatment, C57BL/6 precursor cells were transplanted and the development of leukemia and the extent of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were monitored clinically and histopathologically.

Dosage form

0.8mg/kg, two cycles for 5 days every 2 weeks; i.p.

Applications

Fludarabine in combination with cyclophosphamide decreases incidence of GVHD and maintains effective graft-versus-leukemia effect after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in murine lymphocytic leukemia.
