Product Description
Bisantrene HCl (CL216942 and NSC337766), the hydrochloride salt of Bisantrene, is potent inhibitor of topoisomerase II and DNA intercalators with anticancer activity. P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance (MDR1) may be studied using it as a model compound. One potential Rac1 inhibitor is bisantrene. DNA-protein crosslinking, DNA single-strand breaks, and inhibition of DNA replication are all caused by bisantrene intercalating with and altering the structure of DNA. While this agent's activity is similar to that of doxorubicin, it does not show cardiotoxicity.
Bisantrene HCl (CL-216942, NSC-337766) (CAS#: 71439-68-4) is a synthetic anthraquinone derivative and a potent anticancer agent. It is an inhibitor of topoisomerase II and a DNA intercalator. Unlike other anthracycline chemotherapeutic drugs, bisantrene exhibits relatively low cardiotoxicity. It is used as a Rac1 inhibitor and model compound to study P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR1).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topoisomerase
Bisantrene exerts its antitumor effects through multiple mechanisms: DNA intercalation (inserting itself between DNA bases, disrupting normal base pairing and inhibiting replication); topoisomerase II inhibition; and induction of DNA single-strand breaks, DNA-protein cross-links. It is also a Rac1 inhibitor.
ln Vitro
On oligopurine-oligopyrimidine sequences, bisantrene diHClide enhances DNase I cleavage, whereas on alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences, it somewhat diminishes cleavage activity [1]. The incorporation of [3H]uridine into RNA and [3H]thymidine into DNA is inhibited by bisantrene diHClide [2].
In vitro, bisantrene intercalates into DNA and disrupts DNA configuration, leading to DNA single-strand breaks, DNA-protein cross-links, and DNA replication inhibition. It inhibits topoisomerase II activity, disrupting transcription and replication in rapidly dividing cancer cells. It has shown anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines.
ln Vivo
A number of experimental cancers, such as P388 leukemia, L1210 leukemia, Liebermann's plasmacytoma, B16 melanoma, colon neoplasia 26, and Ridgway osteosarcoma, respond well to the antineoplastic drug bisantrene diHClide [3]. The effectiveness of bisantrene hydrochloride varies between 1.56 and 150 mg/kg, contingent upon the tumor model employed, treatment frequency, modality, and schedule [3]. Macrophages were pretreated with bisantrene hydrochloride (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; once), and animals injected with P815 tumor cells shown anticancer effects [3]. Neo mice are given dose-dependent doses of bisantrene diHClide (10-150 mg/kg; i.v.; once) to cause leukopenia. Bisantrene hydrochloride toxicity targeting B cells and macrophages [4].
In vivo, bisantrene has demonstrated significant antitumor activity and is particularly effective against metastatic breast cancer. It has been used in the treatment of various cancers including leukemia, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Its relatively low cardiotoxicity compared to other anthracyclines is a notable advantage.
Enzyme Assay
In ETN buffer (1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris, pH 7.0, with NaCl to obtain the desired ionic strength), measurements are performed at 25°C. Spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods are used to observe binding in the ligand absorption or emission region, respectively, following the addition of scalar quantities of DNA to a newly made drug solution. The range of bound drug fractions is 0.15-0.85 in order to prevent significant systematic errors that could arise from experimental errors in extinction coefficients or fluorescence quantum yield. Data are assessed. A Perkin-Elmer Lambda 5 apparatus and an MPF66 fluorometer, both of which have a Haake F3-C thermostat, are used for spectroscopic measurements[1].
In vitro assays for bisantrene typically involve evaluating DNA intercalation by measuring changes in DNA melting temperature, circular dichroism, or fluorescence quenching. Topoisomerase II inhibition is assessed using DNA relaxation or decatenation assays. Cell-free systems may use purified DNA and topoisomerase II enzymes. Binding affinity to DNA is measured by spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for bisantrene involve culturing cancer cell lines (e.g., leukemia, breast cancer, ovarian cancer) in appropriate media. Cells are treated with bisantrene at concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 µM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT, CCK-8, or colony formation assays. DNA damage is evaluated by comet assay or γ-H2AX staining. Apoptosis is measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for bisantrene typically involve administration to tumor-bearing mice (xenograft models) via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Tumor volume is monitored over time. Cardiotoxicity is assessed by echocardiography or histopathological examination of heart tissue. MDR1-mediated resistance is studied using P-glycoprotein-overexpressing tumor models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Bisantrene HCl has a molecular weight of approximately 500-550. As a small molecule DNA intercalator, it is expected to distribute widely in tissues. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted via bile and urine. Its relatively low cardiotoxicity compared to anthracyclines is clinically significant. Detailed PK parameters are available in clinical pharmacology literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Bisantrene HCl exhibits relatively low cardiotoxicity compared to other anthracycline chemotherapeutic drugs. This is a significant clinical advantage. Common toxicities may include myelosuppression, gastrointestinal effects, and local reactions at the injection site. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation has been conducted in preclinical and clinical studies.

Additional Infomation
Bissatropine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of anthraquinone antitumor drug. Bissatropine can intercalate into and disrupt the helical structure of DNA, leading to single-strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links, thereby inhibiting DNA replication. Its activity is similar to doxorubicin, but unlike doxorubicin, it does not have cardiotoxicity.
