Description of Nafamostat

Nafamostat is a synthetic serine protease inhibitor [1]. Nafamostat Mesylate reduces inflammatory responses by inhibiting the complement system, reducing cytokine release, and preventing pancreatic enzyme activation [2]. Nafamostat Mesylate is commonly used to treat acute pancreatitis [3-4].

In SW620 cells, Nafamostat Mesylate (80μg/mL; 3h) prevents NF-κB activation and induces apoptosis in irradiated colorectal cancer cells [5]. In MSTO-211H cells, cell viability was significantly reduced after Nafamostat Mesilate (10μM; 48h) treatment [6]. In YCU-L891 and YCU-H891 cells, Nafamostat Mesylate (10μM; 48h) inhibited the proliferation of two HNSCC cell lines [7].

In choline deficient ethionine diet mice model, Nafamostat Mesylate (20mg/kg; ip; 5d) inhibited the redistribution of cathepsin B activity and the activation of trypsinogen [8]. In xenograft pancreatic cancer mice model, Nafamostat Mesylate (30μg/g; ip; 6 weeks) enhances oxaliplatin-induced tumor growth inhibition [9].

Protocol of Nafamostat

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

SW620 cells

Preparation Method

CRC cells were treated with Nafamostat Mesylate (80μg/mL; Nafamostat Mesylate group), ionizing radiation (ionizing radiation group, IR), both Nafamostat Mesylate (80μg/mL) and ionizing radiation (combination group, IR + Nafamostat Mesylate), or vehicle-only (control group, CTR) for the appropriate time. Cells of the IR and combination groups received 2 or 5Gy IR for the cell proliferation assay, and 5Gy IR for the other analyses. In the combination group, the cells were treated with nafamostat mesilate for three hours before IR.

Reaction Conditions

80μg/mL; 3h

Applications

Nafamostat Mesylate prevents NF-κB activation and induces apoptosis in irradiated colorectal cancer cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Choline deficient ethionine diet mice model

Preparation Method

Two hundred and sixty young female CD-I mice weighing 12-14g were used. They were allowed an ordinary pellet diet and tap water ad libitum prior to the experiments. After an initial 24-hour fast, they were fed a cholinedeficient diet enriched with 0.5% DZ.-ethionine for 24h. They were again fasted for 24h, then fed a regular laboratory diet and tap water ad libitum for the following 3 days. Up to 20 mice were kept in each cage. All the mice fed the choline deficient ethionine (CDE) diet were then divided into the following two groups: (a) control animals (CDE group) - only 0.2mL of saline was injected subcutaneously; (b) Nafamostat Mesylate-treated animals (Nafamostat Mesylate group) - after the beginning of the CDE diet, Nafamostat Mesylate was injected subcutaneously at a dose of 20mg/kg in 0.2mL of saline. In addition to these two groups, normal mice were also used as a pure control group.

Dosage form

20mg/kg; ip; 5d

Applications

Nafamostat Mesylate inhibited the redistribution of cathepsin B activity and the activation of trypsinogen.
