Bioactivity | PNU-159682, a metabolite of the anthracycline Nemorubicin, is a highly potent DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor with excellent cytotoxicity[1]. PNU-159682 acts as a more potent and tolerated ADC cytotoxin than Doxorubicin for ADC synthesis[2]. PNU-159682 can be used in EDV-nanocell technology to overcome drug resistance[3]. |
Invitro | PNU-159682 (0-500 nM; exposed to the compounds for 1 hour and then cultured in compound-free medium for 72 hours) has cytotoxic effects on human tumor cell lines in a sulforhodamine B assay. The IC70 values are 0.577 nM, 0.39 nM, 0.128 nM, and 0.081 nM, 0.086 nM and 0.075 nM for HT-29, A2780, DU145, EM-2, Jurkat and CEM cells, respectively[1]. It against human tumor cell lines with IC70 in the ranging 68 nM-578 nM and 181 nM-1717 nM towards MMDX and doxorubicin, respectively[1].PNU-159682 is more potent than MMAE on NHL cell lines. In a cell viability assay, PNU-159682 is against BJAB.Luc, Granta-519, SuDHL4.Luc, and WSU-DLCL2 with IC50 values of 0.10 nM, 0.020 nM, 0.055 nM, and 0.1 nM, respectively. While MMAE is against BJAB.Luc, Granta-519, SuDHL4.Luc, and WSU-DLCL2 with IC50 values of 0.54 nM, 0.25 nM, 1.19 nM and 0.25 nM, respectively[2].PNU-159682 is thousands of times more cytotoxic than doxorubicin and can be used to develop a new class of ADCs. PNU159682 to anti-CD22 antibody (anti-CD22-NMS249) exhibits strong anti-tumor effects in vitro. Anti-CD22-NMS249 (PNU159682 to anti-CD22 antibody) is active in in vitro viability assays of NHL cell lines and is 2 to 20 fold more potent than pinatuzumab vedotin, the ADC anti-CD22-NMS249 is against BJAB.Luc, Granta-519, SuDHL4.Luc, and WSU-DLCL2 with IC50 values of 0.058 nM, 0.030 nM, 0.0221 nM, and 0.01 nM, respectively[3].PNU-159682 (100 μM) weakly inhibits topoisomerase II unknotting activity. PNU-159682 shows cytotoxic effect on CAIX-expressing SKRC-52 cells with IC50 of 25 nM[4]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
