Protocol

Cell experiment:

The antiproliferative activity is evaluated after 72 hours of drug exposure by cell counting. Drug concentrations able to inhibit cell proliferation by 50% (IC50) and 20% (IC20) are calculated from dose-response curves.

Animal experiment:

To generate tumor xenografts, exponentially growing cells (A431 and A431/topotecan, 107 cells/mouse; SiHa 2.5 × 107 cells/mouse, Caski 107 cells/mouse) are s.c. injected into the mice flanks. For antitumor activity studies, groups of four/five mice bearing tumor implanted in both flanks are used. Tumor fragments are implanted on day 0, and tumor growth is followed by biweekly measurements of tumor diameters with a Vernier caliper. Tumor volume (TV) is calculated according to the formula TV (mm3) = d2 × D/2, in which d and D are the shortest and the longest diameter, respectively. Treatment starts 5 to 13 days after implant, when the tumors are just palpable, but established (TV = 80-90 mm3). Namitecan, irinotecan, and cetuximab are administered every fourth day for four times. Cetuximab is given 1 hour after each administration of the camptothecin.

Background

Namitecan is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, with antitumor property.

Namitecan and cetuximab cooperate in inhibiting EGFR expression. Namitecan induces a dose-dependent decrease in EGFR expression in the different cell lines[1]. ST1968 induces a comparable level of apoptosis in A431 and A431/TPT cells with IC50 of 0.21 and 0.29 μM[2].

Namitecan (10 mg/kg) in combination with cetuximab (1 mg/mouse) induces synergistic antitumor effects in SCC models as a function of EGFR gene copy number[1]. ST1968 (25 mg/kg) causes acceptable body weight loss and no toxic deaths. ST1968 produces a 100% complete response rate in the mice bearing the A431 tumor, and retains a relevant activity in the topotecan-resistant tumor[2].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
