Cell lines

Canine malignant melanoma cell lines (CMM-1, CMM-2, ChMC, KMeC, LMeC, OMJ, OMS, OMK, and NML

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reaction Conditions

72h; IC50=3.5~5.6 nM (nine kinds of cells)

Applications

Bortezomib potently suppressed the growth in 21 drugs, while other compounds had no or minimal effect on cell growth. We thus focused on bortezomib and examined its growth inhibitory properties against nine canine malignant melanoma cell lines (CMM-1, CMM-2, ChMC, KMeC, LMeC, OMJ, OMS, OMK, and NML). Bortezomib inhibited the growth of all cell lines with calculated IC50 values of 3.5~5.6 nM.

Animal models

Nude athymic mice

Dosage form

0.8 mg/kg; intravenous injection

Applications

The in vivo growth inhibitory activity of bortezomib against CMM-1 cells was evaluated using a xenograft mouse model. Bortezomib significantly suppressed the growth of tumours after Day 4 of treatment (P < 0.01, control vs. bortezomib). Tumours from the bortezomib-treated mice showed a significant decrease in mitotic index compared to controls (P

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.

Bortezomib(originally codenamedPS-341) is the first therapeutic proteasome inhibitor to the tested in humans. It is approved in the U.S. for treating relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. [1] The drug is an N-protected dipeptide and can be written as Pyz-Phe-boroLeu, which stands for pyrazinoic acid, phenylalanine and Leucine with a boronic acid instead of a carboxylic acid. Peptides are written N-terminus to C-terminus, and this convention is used here even though the "C-terminus" is a boronic acid instead of a carboxylic acid. While multiple mechanisms are likely to be involved, proteasome inhibition may prevent degradation of pro-apoptotic factors, permitting activation of programmed cell death in neoplastic cells dependent upon suppression of pro-apoptotic pathways. Recently, it was found that bortezomib caused a rapid and dramatic change in the levels of intracellular peptides that are produced by the proteasome. [2] Some intracellular peptides have been shown to be biologically active, and so the effect of bortezomib on the levels of intracellular peptides may contribute to the biological and/or side effects of the drug.

A potent (Ki = 0.6 nM), specific and reversible proteasome inhibitor. It inhibits cell proliferation of H460 cells (Human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines) with an IC50 of 0.1 μM.
