Description of WEB 2086 (Apafant)

WEB 2086 (Apafant) is a water-soluble, selective, and potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, with a Ki value of 9.9nM[1]. By targeting PAF, WEB 2086 reduces thromboxane B2, leukotriene C4, and histamine levels and prevents increases in microvascular permeability[2]. WEB 2086 has been widely used in animal models of asthma to restrain microvascular leakage and excessive mucus secretion[3].

In vitro, WEB 2086 treatment for 72 hours significantly suppressed the proliferation of MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and HT-1080 cells, with IC50 values of 650µM, 410µM, and 380µM, respectively[4]. Incubation with 1mM WEB 2086 for 3 days induced apoptosis in NB4 cells, accompanied by extensive nuclear fragmentation, DNA fragmentation, and caspase-3 activation[5]. 1mM of WEB 2086 incubation for 5 days reduced the growth and hemoglobin accumulation of murine erythroleukemia cells (MELCs), enhanced the expression of globin genes, and downregulated the expression of c-Myb[6].

In vivo, daily intraperitoneal injection of WEB 2086 at a dose of 5mg/kg for 10 days alleviated laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mice, decreased the infiltration of macrophages in the retinal pigment epithelium-choroid complex[7]. One hour before antigen challenge, an oral administration of WEB 2086 (100mg/kg) markedly mitigated the airway response in guinea pigs[8].

Protocol of WEB 2086 (Apafant)

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HT-1080 cells

Preparation Method

HT-1080 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2mM L-glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2. Cells were seeded in triplicate into 96-well plates (5×103 cells/well) and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were incubated with WEB 2086 at various concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000µM) for 72h, and cell viability was tested.

Reaction Conditions

0, 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000µM; 72h

Applications

WEB 2086 treatment decreased cell viability of HT-1080 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female C57BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

Female C57BL/6 mice (7 weeks old) were housed in SPF conditions with an automatic 12h/12h light-dark cycle at a constant temperature (21±1°C). Laser photocoagulation was applied around the optic disc using a 532-nm diode laser (200mW, 0.1-s duration, 75-µm diameter) to burn the posterior pole of the retina (4 spots/eye). Only lesions in which a subretinal bubble developed were used in subsequent experiments. 10 days after photocoagulation, the mice were anesthetized and perfused with 50mg/ml of fluorescein-labeled dextran (2×106 average molecular weight). Following enucleation and fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde, corneas and lenses were removed. Mice were treated with the WEB 2086 or phosphate-buffered saline (vehicle) 1h before photocoagulation, and treatments were continued daily until the end of the study. WEB 2086 was administered intraperitoneally to mice at 5mg/kg/day.

Dosage form

5mg/kg/day; 10 days; i.p.

Applications

WEB 2086 treatment alleviated laser-induced CNV via the inhibition of macrophage infiltration and the expression of proangiogenic and proinflammatory factors in mice.
