Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Studies involving the human use of drugs with labeled deuterium suggest that these compounds may offer some advantages when compared with their nondeuterated counterparts. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs. Deutetrabenazine is the first deuterated drug to receive Food and Drug Administration approval. This deuterated form of the drug tetrabenazine is indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease as well as tardive dyskinesia. Ongoing clinical trials suggest that a number of other deuterated compounds are being evaluated for the treatment of human diseases and not merely as research tools. [1] Pomalidomide can also inhibit whole blood TNF -α, IC50 is 25 nM [2]. Exposure of lymphoma cells to pomalidomide (CC-4047) reduced cell proliferation by 40% compared with vehicle-treated controls. Pomalidomide inhibited DNA synthesis by 40% in Raji cells (P = 0.036)[3]. In CD4+ and CD8+ cells, pomalidomide (CC-4047) was the most effective IL-2 elevating agent, followed by CC-6032 and CC-5013. It is more effective than CC-5013 in increasing IL-2, IL-5 and IL-10, and slightly more effective than CC-5013 in increasing IFN-γ[4]. |
| ln Vivo | Pomalidomide (CC-4047) administered for two consecutive days before mAb treatment enhanced the antitumor activity of rituximab and doubled the median survival of lymphoma-bearing mice. Statistically significant differences were observed between animals treated with Rituximab and those treated with Pomalidomide + Rituximab. Animals treated with pomalidomide and rituximab had longer median survival (median survival, 74 days; 95% CI, 70-78) than animals treated with rituximab monotherapy (median survival , 38 days; 95% CI, 26-50; log-rank test, P=0.002). In lymphoma-bearing SCID mice, administration of CC-5013 or Pomalidomide for two consecutive days resulted in a significant increase in the number of circulating NK cells, as shown by flow cytometry analysis [3]. After oral administration of Pomalidomide (POM) 50 mg/kg to rats, the unbound blood concentration reached a Cmax value of 1100±82 ng/mL at 4.6±2.4 hours, with an AUC(0-10) value of 6800 ng hr/ mL. However, unbound POM in the brain had a Cmax value of 430 ng/mL at 4.1 h, an AUC(0-10) value of 2700 ng hr/mL, and an unbound AUCbrain to AUCblood ratio of 0.39. These values are consistent with excellent blood-brain barrier penetration. The results obtained in this study are consistent with those observed in a concurrent study that observed whole-brain content after oral administration of POM in mice [5]. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution.
