Bioactivity | Abacavir hydrochloride is a competitive, orally active nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Abacavir hydrochloride can inhibits the replication of HIV. Abacavir hydrochloride shows anticancer activity in prostate cancer cell lines. Abacavir hydrochloride can trespass the blood-brain-barrier and suppresses telomerase activity[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Abacavir hydrochloride (15 and 150 μM, 0-120 h) inhibits cell growth, affects cell cycle progression, induces senescence and modulates LINE-1 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cell lines[1]. Abacavir hydrochloride (15 and 150 μM, 18 h) significantly reduces cell migration and inhibits cell invasion[1].Abacavir hydrochloride induces fat apoptosis[4]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | Abacavir hydrochloride (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.; 4 h) dose-dependently promotes thrombus formation[2].Abacavir hydrochloride (50 mg/kg/d; i.p.; 14 d) with 0.1 mg/kg/d Decitabine (HY-A0004) enhances survival of high-risk medulloblastoma-bearing mice[3]. Animal Model: |
