Catalog No.: GC13249Purity:>99.00%Synonyms: AG014447
Rucaparib (free base) (AG014699) is an orally active, potent inhibitor of PARP proteins (PARP-1, PARP-2 and PARP-3) with a Ki of 1.4 nM for PARP1. Rucaparib (free base) is a modest hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD) inhibitor. Rucaparib (free base) has the potential for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) research.

Description

Rucaparib (free base) is an orally bioavailable tricyclic indole poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. Rucaparib phosphate blocks PARP-mediated DNA repair by selectively binding to and inhibiting the activity of PARP1 (Ki=1.4nM), PARP2, and PARP3, leading to accumulation of DNA strand breaks, genomic instability, and apoptosis. Rucaparib phosphate can be used in research related to BRCA mutation-associated ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)[1-4].

In vitro, Rucaparib phosphate (0.763nM-50μM) was used to treat CDK12 knockout (KO) prostate cancer cells (C42B, LNCaP) for 7 days. Rucaparib phosphate inhibited the growth of CDK12 KO cells[5]. Rucaparib phosphate (1.104-1.488μM) was combined with Trabectedin (0.352-2.64nM) to treat soft tissue sarcoma cell lines (IB115, IB111, IB136) for 72 hours. Rucaparib phosphate synergized with Trabectedin to inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, cause G2/M phase accumulation, and increase DNA damage[6].

In vivo, Rucaparib phosphate (150mg/kg) was orally administered to mice with lung adenocarcinoma (LP07) for 20 days. Rucaparib phosphate significantly reduced tumor burden, while decreasing PARP activity and cell proliferation, and increasing DNA damage, TUNEL-positive nuclei, protein oxidation, and SOD2 content[7]. Rucaparib phosphate (150mg/kg; five times per week) was orally administered to CD-1 nude mice bearing Capan-1 xenograft tumors for 6 weeks. Rucaparib phosphate significantly delayed tumor growth and induced tumor regression[8].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

LNCaP, C42B, PC3, DLD-1, MDA-MB-231, CAOV3, OVCAR-8 (prostate cancer and other cancer cell lines)

Preparation Method

Cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 or DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) under standard conditions. Cells were treated with Rucaparib phosphate or DMSO for seven days.

Reaction Conditions

0.763nM-50μM; 7 days

Applications

Rucaparib phosphate preferentially inhibited the growth of CDK12 knockout (KO) cells compared to isogenic wild-type cells. CDK12 KO cells were more sensitive to Rucaparib phosphate than control cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

BALB/c mice with LP07 lung adenocarcinoma tumors

Preparation Method

Mice were subcutaneously injected with LP07 lung adenocarcinoma cells to generate tumors. Tumor-bearing mice were randomized into two groups: non-treated (control) and treated with Rucaparib phosphate (150mg/kg; p.o.). Treatment started when tumors became measurable.

Dosage form

150mg/kg; p.o.; 20 days

Applications

Rucaparib phosphate treatment significantly reduced tumor weight and tumor area compared to non-treated controls. Rucaparib phosphate decreased PARP activity and cell proliferation, while increasing DNA damage, TUNEL-positive nuclei, protein oxidation, and superoxide dismutase 2 content within the tumors.
