Liarozole dihydrochloride is an imidazole-containing compound that inhibits the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA), with an IC50 value of 2.2µM[1]. Liarozole dihydrochloride suppresses extracellular matrix (ECM) formation by downregulating the expression of TGF-β3 gene and protein, as well as the expression of versican, COL1A1 and fibronectin[2]. Liarozole dihydrochloride has been widely used to inhibit the growth of various cancer cells and transplanted tumors[3].
In vitro, Liarozole dihydrochloride (25µM) treatment for 5 days significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of Huh-7 cells[4]. Treatment with 10nM Liarozole dihydrochloride for 24 hours significantly inhibited the growth of leiomyoma cells and reduced the expression levels of ECM genes and CYP26A1[5].
In vivo, Liarozole dihydrochloride treatment via oral administration at a dose of 80mg/kg twice daily for 9 weeks significantly inhibited the occurrence of bladder cancer in rats induced by N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN)[6].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Huh-7 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
Huh-7 cells were cultured for 24 hours in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1.5g/l of NaHCO3 at 37°C in an atmosphere of air with 5% CO2. 3×104 cells were placed in each well of a 12-well plate, in triplicate. Huh-7 cells were treated with different concentrations of Liarozole dihydrochloride (0, 1, 5, 10, and 25µM) for 72 hours, followed by subjecting cell lysates to immunoblotting with Pin1 antibody. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 1, 5, 10, and 25µM; 72h |
|
Applications |
Liarozole dihydrochloride treatment significantly increased the Pin1 levels in Huh-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Male Wistar rats |
|
Preparation Method |
Male Wistar rats (seven-week-old) were maintained in a controlled environment at 22±1°C and 60% relative humidity under a 12h light/dark cycle, and were given food and water ad libitum. Rats were allowed free access to the drinking water containing 0.05% BBN, and were administered the Liarozole dihydrochloride twice daily by oral gavage (80mg/kg) for 9 weeks. All rats were killed by ether anesthesia, and the urinary bladders were taken for evaluation. |
|
Dosage form |
80mg/kg; twice daily; 9 weeks; p.o. |
|
Applications |
Liarozole dihydrochloride treatment inhibited BBN-induced urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats. |
