Description of Liarozole dihydrochloride

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].

Protocol of Liarozole dihydrochloride

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.
