Product Description

(±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin, a naturally occuring indole alkaloid isolated from Camptotheca acuminate, is a cell-permeable and potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I. Its anticancer properties are wide ranging, and it primarily inhibits the phosphorylation of histones H1 and H3, with less of an impact on other histones. The growth of Colo 205 cells is significantly suppressed by (±)-10-hydroxycamptothecin in a manner that is dependent on dosage. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin inhibits Colo 205 cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle at concentrations of 5–20 nM and initiates apoptosis via a caspase-3-dependent mechanism.

Targets
Topoisomerase I
ln Vitro

(±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-OH-camptothecin) is a topo I inhibitor[1]. The proliferation of Colo 205 cells is significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT, 5-20 nM). By stopping Colo 205 cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, (±)-10-hydroxycamptothecin (5–20 nM) initiates apoptosis via a caspase-3-dependent mechanism[2]. ± The human urinary bladder cancer cell line (T24) is exposed to -10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HPT, 0.01–10 μg/mL), which results in nuclear fragmentation, condensed chromosomes, and cell shrinage[3].

ln Vivo
(±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT, 2.5-7.5 mg/kg/2 days, p.o.) dramatically inhibits tumor growth in mouse xenografts. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (1-7.5 mg/kg, p.o., once per 2 or 4 days) does not appear to cause any acute toxicity in nude mice[2].
Cell Assay
After being seeded in 25T flasks for an overnight period, Colo 205 cells (5 × 105) (ATCC: CCL-222) are treated with 5, 10, 15, or 20 nM of (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin, respectively, as a control. Trypsin-EDTA is used to harvest the cells after 24-120 hours of treatment, and they are then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 4,500 rpm and 4˚C. A hemocytometer is used to count the viable cells in the cell pellet after it has been resuspended in culture medium containing 0.04% trypan blue[2].
Animal Protocol
Sterilized conditions and a controlled 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle are provided for BALB/c-nu mice living in a laminar flow room at 25 ± 2˚C. RPMI-1640 medium without serum is used to harvest and resuspend the Colo 205 cells. A volume of 0.1 mL is subcutaneously injected into the mice's flanks after the cell density is adjusted to 1 × 107 cells/mL. Three to seven tumor-bearing mice per experimental group were used. Therapy commences when the tumor size reaches 3-5 mm and is administered with a solution of (±)-10-hydroxycamptothecin dissolved in propylene glycol. (±)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin is injected intraperitoneally (i.e., once every two or four days) at 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 1 mg/kg (0.1 mL/20 g of body weight for the injection volume). Every two days, a propylene glycol vehicle is given to the control group. Throughout the experiment, body weight and tumor size are recorded twice a week. A vernier caliper is used to measure the size of the tumor. The formula for calculating tumor volume (V) is V (mm3) = 0.4AB2, where A and B represent the longest and shortest diameters, respectively. Upon completion of the experiment, CO2 gas is used to kill every mouse. For pathological analysis, tumors, livers, kidneys, and lungs are removed, preserved, embedded, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin[2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~29 mg/mL (~79.6 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (6.86 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
