Description:
IC50 Value: 1.2 nM [1]
Genz-644282 [8,9-dimethoxy-5-(2-N-methylaminoethyl)-2,3-methylenedioxy-5H-dibenzo[c,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-one] has emerged as a promising candidate of non-Camptothecin topoisomerase I inhibitor for antitumor agents.
in vitro: Genz-644282 demonstrated potent cytotoxic activity with a median IC(50) of 1.2?nM (range 0.2-21.9?nM) [1]. Limited cross-resistance to Genz-644282 was also found in the Top1 knockdown colon cancer (HCT116) and breast cancer (MCF7) cell lines and in human adenocarcinoma cells (KB31/KBV1) that overexpress (P-glycoprotein, ABCB1), a member of the ATP-binding cassette family of cell surface transport proteins known to confer MDR [3].
in vivo: Genz-644282 at its MTD (4?mg/kg) induced maintained complete responses (MCR) in 6/6 evaluable solid tumor models. At 2?mg/kg Genz-644282 induced CR or MCR in 3/3 tumor models relatively insensitive to topotecan, but there were no objective responses at 1?mg/
