Product Description
ZIM, norbornene derived from 4-Aminoantipyrine, is a novel DNA damage inducer that can trigger phagocytosis, induce cell death, and cause genomic and chromosomal damage. ZIM has the potential to be used in cancer research as a chemotherapeutic agent.
ZIM is a synthetic compound, specifically a norbornene derivative of 4-Aminoantipyrine, that functions as a potent and novel DNA damage inducer. It is capable of causing genomic and chromosomal damage, inducing cell death, and activating phagocytosis. Due to these properties, ZIM has chemotherapeutic potential and is being investigated for use in cancer research. Its molecular formula is C20H19N3O3 and its molecular weight is 349.38.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ZIM targets DNA, acting as a potent inducer of DNA damage. Its mechanism of action involves breaking the DNA molecule, which leads to genomic and chromosomal instability. This DNA damage subsequently triggers cellular responses such as cell death and activates phagocytosis. The compound's chemotherapeutic potential is directly related to its ability to induce this DNA damage.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies confirm ZIM's activity as a DNA damage inducer. It causes genomic and chromosomal damage in cellular models. The compound's ability to break DNA molecules and induce cell death has been demonstrated, establishing its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent. Its activity is often assessed by measuring the extent of DNA fragmentation or chromosomal aberrations in treated cells.
ln Vivo
ZIM (ip, 12, 24, and 48 mg/kg) has a certain chemopreventive effect, lowers the spectrum of damage by percentage, and effectively lowers chromosomal micronucleus frequency at all dosages at 24 and 72 hours in adult male Swiss mice. between 38.36 and 83.26%[1]. ZIM (ip, 12, 24, and 48 mg/kg) can lessen the frequency of doxorubicin-DOX and cisplatin-CIS-induced liver and kidney cell death. The percentages of liver damage decrease in the CIS group were 79.27, 75.20, and 52.84% at dose concentrations of 12, 24, and 48 mg/kg, while the percentages in the DOX group were 62.06, 59.44, and 77.80%. For the CIS group, the reduction in kidney damage was 45.29, 36.09, and 41.61%; for the DOX group, it was 28.00, 21.41, and 30.82% [1].
In vivo activity of ZIM has been evaluated in adult male Swiss mice. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of ZIM at doses of 12, 24, and 48 mg/kg effectively reduced the frequency of chromosomal micronuclei, with the percentage of damage reduction ranging from 38.36% to 83.26%. Furthermore, ZIM was shown to reduce the frequency of cisplatin- and doxorubicin-induced liver and kidney cell death. For instance, in the cisplatin group, liver damage reduction was between 52.84% and 79.27%, while in the doxorubicin group, it ranged from 59.44% to 77.80%.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not the primary method for characterizing ZIM's activity, as its mechanism is based on direct DNA interaction rather than binding to a specific enzyme or receptor. Its activity is assessed by evaluating its ability to induce DNA damage. This is typically measured using techniques like the comet assay, which quantifies DNA strand breaks, or by assessing the formation of micronuclei as an indicator of chromosomal damage.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for ZIM involve treating cultured cancer cells with the compound and then assessing the extent of DNA damage and cell death. These assays typically measure DNA fragmentation, chromosomal aberrations, or cell viability. The induction of phagocytosis can also be evaluated by assessing the uptake of apoptotic cells by macrophages.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for ZIM have been conducted in mouse models. In these studies, ZIM is typically administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. The primary endpoints for evaluating its efficacy include the reduction of chromosomal damage (measured by micronucleus frequency) and the mitigation of chemotherapy-induced organ toxicity in the liver and kidneys. The compound's chemopreventive effects and its impact on the DNA damage spectrum are also assessed in these models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for ZIM are not detailed in the provided sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 349.38 and a LogP of 2.1. It is available as a solid powder. For research purposes, it is typically dissolved in DMSO. The compound is intended for research use only, and comprehensive ADME data are not available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for ZIM are derived from in vivo studies. While it induces DNA damage, it has also been shown to reduce the toxicity caused by chemotherapeutic agents like cisplatin and doxorubicin in the liver and kidneys of mice. This suggests a potential chemopreventive effect alongside its DNA-damaging activity. At the tested doses (12-48 mg/kg in mice), it demonstrated efficacy in reducing chromosomal damage.
