Description of Nelfinavir

Nelfinavir is a selective, nonpeptidic competitive inhibitor of HIV-1 protease. Nelfinavir shows good in vitro activity against HIV-1 strains[1].

In vitro, Nelfinavir (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60µM; 24 and 48h) dose-dependently suppressed proliferation of human A549 cells[2]. Nelfinavir (20μM; 24h) can directly inhibit the activity of aspartic protease DNA damage inducible 1 homolog 2 (DDI2), thereby effectively blocking the proteolysis of NFE2L1 and enhancing the cytotoxicity of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) in cancer cells[3].

In vivo, combining Nelfinavir (50mg/kg/daily; 13 days; i.p.) with Chloroquine inhibits in vivo growth of human lung cancer xenograft tumors[4]. Nelfinavir (100mg/kg per day; 24 days; i.p.) and metformin, when used in combination, act synergistically to inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cell xenografts in nude mice[5].

Protocol of Nelfinavir

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

A549 and H1224

Preparation Method

Human A549 cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of 8000 cells per well and cultured overnight at 37°C. The next days, cells were treated with different concentrations of Nelfinavir (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60µM) for 24 and 48 hours. MTT reagent was added to each well and incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. The formazan crystals formed by the reduction of MTT by mitochondrial succinic dehydrogenase secreted by viable cells were dissolved using 150µL of DMSO. Absorbance was measured at 490nm. The experiment was repeated using H1224 cells.

Reaction Conditions

1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60µM; 24 and 48 hours

Applications

Nelfinavir dose-dependently suppressed proliferation of human A549 cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

6-week-old female athymic NCr-nu/nu mice

Preparation Method

Cells (5×10⁶ H157 or H549) were suspended in 100µL of phosphate-buffered saline and subcutaneously injected into the bilateral rear flanks of 6-week-old female athymic NCr-nu/nu mice. When the transplanted tumors reached a volume of 50mm³, the mice were divided into four groups (5 mice per group): (i) Vehicle control (4% DMSO, 5% polyethylene glycol, 5% Tween 80 in saline); (ii) 50mg/kg Nelfinavir; (iii) 50mg/kg chloroquine; or (iv) the combination of Nelfinavir and chloroquine, with intraperitoneal injection once daily for 13 days. The body weights of the animals and the sizes of the tumors were measured every other day. In all studies, tumor volume was calculated using the formula v=(ab²)/2, where a and b represent the long axis and short axis of the tumor, respectively. Immunoblotting analysis was performed to detect markers of apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Dosage form

50mg/kg/daily; 13 days; i.p.

Applications

Combining Nelfinavir with Chloroquine inhibits in vivo growth of human lung cancer xenograft tumors
