SN-38

SKU: orb1307686

Description

SN-38 (NK012) is the active metabolite of the Topoisomerase I inhibitor Irinotecan. It potently inhibits DNA/RNA synthesis and exhibits antitumor activity, including the induction of autophagy, making it a valuable tool for in vitro and in vivo cancer research.

In Vivo
METHODS: To test the antitumor activity in vivo, SN-38 (2 mg/kg) was administered by single intraperitoneal injection to C57BL/6 mice transplanted with LLC cells in the peritoneal cavity. RESULTS: A single intraperitoneal injection of SN-38 significantly attenuated the growth of LLC tumors, resulting in a 22.7% reduction in tumor growth. METHODS: To test the antitumor activity in vivo, SN-38 (10 mg/kg in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium, intraperitoneal injection) and gefitinib (100 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection) were administered to BALB/c nude mice bearing human oral squamous tumors HSC-2 five times per week for three weeks. RESULTS: Only gefitinib was administered to mice with human oral squamous tumors. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in tumor growth inhibition between gefitinib only and gefitinib plus SN-38 treatment. However, some tumors in the gefitinib-only group showed new growth when tumor measurements were continued after treatment was stopped.
In Vitro
METHODS: Lung cancer cells LLC, A549 and H358 were treated with SN-38 (10-1000 nM) for 48 h. Cell viability was detected using MTT assay. RESULTS: SN-38 started to exhibit effects at 10 nM concentration and induced about 50% cell death at 100 nM. METHODS: Colorectal cancer cells KM12C, KM12SM and KM12L4a were treated with SN-38 (2.5 µg/mL) for 4-48 h. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by Flow cytometry. RESULTS: SN-38 induced S-phase and G2-phase block, with KM12L4a cells responding most strongly in a time-dependent manner. apoptosis increased over time in the KM12SM and KM12L4a cell lines, but there was no such change in the KM12C cells.
