Description of 5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride

5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride is a potent inhibitor of the Na+/H+ exchanger and is toxic to tumor cells [1]. 5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride can inhibit DNA synthesis in regenerating liver and induce cell apoptosis, while activating the activity of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)[2]. 5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride has been widely used to inhibit the growth of Cryptococcus strains and as a starting point for antifungal drug development to develop new analogues with high antifungal activity[3]. 5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride has fluorescent properties and can regulate intracellular acidity, which can be used as a self-biomarker of pH changes in cellular studies[4].

In vitro, 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride treatment for 48 hours inhibited the replication of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) in L929 cells, with EC50 values of 3.91μM and 1.34μM, respectively[5]. Treatment of RPMI-8226 cells with 20μM 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride for 48 hours led to cell proliferation inhibition, and caused intracellular acidification[6]. 80µM of 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride was applied for 24 hours to induce programmed necrosis in the cultured MCF7 cells through lysosomal and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent mechanisms[7].

In vivo, 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10mg/kg/day for 14 days suppressed tumor growth in the RPMI-8226 cell xenograft mouse models without affecting body weight[5].

Protocol of 5-(N,N-Hexamethylene)-amiloride

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF-7 cells

Preparation Method

MCF-7 cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U/ml penicillin and 100μg/ml streptomycin, in a 37°C humidified environment with 5% CO2. MCF-7 cells were seeded at a density of 5×104/ml in 96-well plates. The cells were treated with different concentrations of 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80μM). After 24 hours, the cell viability was analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

0, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20μM; 24h

Applications

5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride treatment reduced the cell viability of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female BALB/c Nude mice

Preparation Method

Female BALB/c Nude mice, 4-6 weeks old and weighing 20g, were housed in a specific pathogen-free (SPF) animal house at 24±2°C temperature and 55±5% humidity and maintained on a 12h light/12h dark circadian rhythm. Mice received a standard diet and water ad libitum. RPMI-8226 cells (1×107 cells) were injected subcutaneously into the right abdomen of mice. When the tumors were palpable, the mice were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group received 5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride (10mg/kg; i.p.) once a day for 14 consecutive days; Mice in the control group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline. Tumor volume and body weight of mice were analyzed.

Dosage form

10mg/kg/day for 14 days; i.p.

Applications

5-(N,N-hexamethylene)-amiloride treatment suppressed tumor growth in the RPMI-8226 cell xenograft mouse model without affecting body weight.
