Product Description

Irinotecan hydrochloride (also known as CPT-11; (+)-Irinotecan) is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor for LoVo cells and HT-29 cells with IC50 of 15.8 μM and 5.17 μM, respectively. Camptothecin, a quinoline-based alkaloid that is cytotoxic and extracted from the Asian tree Camptotheca acuminata, is the semisynthetic derivative of irenotecan hydrochloride. Irinotecan is a prodrug that requires the conversion of a carboxylesterase-converting enzyme to the biologically active metabolite 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38). Compared to its parent compound, irinotecan, SN-38 has 1000 times greater potency.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
cytotoxicity in LoVo cells ( IC50 = 15.8 μM ); cytotoxicity in HT-29 cells ( IC50 = 5.17 μM ); Topo I
ln Vitro
Irinotecan and Gefitinibstudies have also linked to significantly reduce MDA-MB-231 cell migration and proliferation.[2]
ln Vivo
When treating TNBC subtype cells in a xenograft model, gefitinib and irinotecan work synergistically very well.[/2]
Cell Assay
In 20 cm2 dishes, exponentially growing cells are seeded with the ideal number of cells for each cell line (20,000 for LoVo cells, 100,000 for HT-29 cells). They receive treatment with irinotecan or SN-38 at increasing concentrations for a single cell doubling period (24 hours for LoVo cells and 40 hours for HT-29 cells) after two days. Following a 0.15 M NaCl wash, the cells are cultured in normal medium for two more doubling times before being separated from the support using trypsin-EDTA and counted using a hemocytometer. The drug concentrations that cause a 50% inhibition in growth when compared to cells cultured without the drug are then estimated to be the IC50 values.
Animal Protocol
One cycle of therapy consists of five days of 5 mg/kg of iminotecan administered intraperitoneally (IV) at a volume of 0.1 cc of the suitable solution, on two separate weeks. The administration of the medication is followed by a seven-day rest period. In an eight-week period, rats receive three cycles. Under the same intratumoral injection guidelines as group II animals, control animals receive 0.1 cc of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
