Product Description
Pyridostatin (RR82) trihydrochloride is a highly selective G-quadruplex DNA stabilizer (Kd = 490 nM) that targets DNA and RNA G4s in cells. Pyridostatin trihydrochloride promotes growth arrest in human cancer cells by inducing replication- and transcription-dependent DNA damage. Pyridostatin trihydrochloride targets the proto-oncogene Src. Pyridostatin trihydrochloride reduces SRC protein levels and SRC-dependent cell motility in human breast cancer cells.
Pyridostatin trihydrochloride (CAS 2517456-88-9) is a small-molecule stabilizer of G-quadruplex (G4) DNA/RNA structures, also known as RR82 trihydrochloride. It is a synthetic compound that selectively binds to and stabilizes G-quadruplex structures, which are secondary DNA/RNA conformations enriched in guanine-rich regions such as telomeres and oncogene promoters. Pyridostatin trihydrochloride promotes growth arrest in human cancer cells by inducing replication- and transcription-dependent DNA damage, and it has been shown to reduce SRC proto-oncogene protein levels and SRC-dependent cellular motility in human breast cancer cells. It is primarily used as a research tool in cancer biology to study the role of G-quadruplexes in genomic instability and as a potential anticancer agent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Pyridostatin trihydrochloride targets G-quadruplex (G4) DNA/RNA structures, binding to these non-canonical secondary structures with high affinity (Kd = 490 nM). It stabilizes G-quadruplexes formed in telomeric regions and in the promoter sequences of various oncogenes including SRC, c-kit, K-ras, and Bcl-2. By stabilizing these structures, Pyridostatin interferes with telomere-associated protein binding, leading to telomere dysfunction and DNA damage responses. Additionally, it targets the proto-oncogene Src, reducing SRC protein levels in human breast cancer cells. The compound also affects transcription regulation by stabilizing promoter G-quadruplexes, thereby inhibiting the expression of certain oncogenes. Thus, its primary targets are G4 DNA/RNA structures and the downstream signaling pathways affected by their stabilization.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Pyridostatin trihydrochloride exhibits potent antiproliferative activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines. It selectively inhibits growth of HeLa, U2OS, and HT1080 cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.89 to 10 microM, while showing lower toxicity towards normal fibroblasts (WI-38). The compound binds to G-quadruplex structures with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 490 nM as determined by surface plasmon resonance. Pyridostatin induces replication- and transcription-dependent DNA damage, leading to growth arrest in cancer cells. It also reduces SRC protein levels and inhibits SRC-dependent cell motility in breast cancer cells. At concentrations of 10-25 microM, Pyridostatin treatment results in increased gamma-H2AX foci formation, indicating DNA double-strand breaks, and activates the ATM/ATR DNA damage signaling pathway.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Pyridostatin trihydrochloride has demonstrated antitumor activity in xenograft mouse models. In mice bearing human cancer xenografts (e.g., HeLa or U2OS tumors), intraperitoneal or intravenous administration of Pyridostatin at doses ranging from 10 to 30 mg/kg resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition compared to vehicle controls. The compound induced telomere dysfunction and DNA damage in tumor tissues, as evidenced by increased gamma-H2AX staining and telomere dysfunction-induced foci (TIFs). Pharmacodynamic studies showed that Pyridostatin treatment led to reduced proliferation (Ki67) and increased apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3) in tumor sections. However, the compound's limited bioavailability and rapid clearance have been noted as challenges for further development.
Enzyme Assay
General protocol for in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular): To measure binding affinity of Pyridostatin to G-quadruplex DNA, perform a fluorescence polarization or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay. Immobilize biotin-labeled G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotide (e.g., human telomeric sequence d[AGGG(TTAGGG)3]) onto a streptavidin-coated sensor chip. Prepare Pyridostatin trihydrochloride in running buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.005% Tween-20) at concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 microM. Inject over the chip surface and measure binding responses. Calculate Kd values by fitting to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model. Alternatively, use a fluorescence-based G-quadruplex stabilization assay: incubate 0.5 microM G4 DNA with 0.5 microM Pyridostatin in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, and monitor fluorescence of a G4-bound dye (e.g., Thiazole Orange) at excitation 510 nm, emission 530 nm.
Cell Assay
General protocol for in vitro cell-based experiments: Culture HeLa or U2OS cells in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37degC. Seed cells in 96-well plates at 5×10^3 cells per well and allow to adhere overnight. Prepare Pyridostatin trihydrochloride in DMSO (stock 10 mM) and dilute in culture medium to final concentrations of 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 microM (final DMSO ≤0.5%). Treat cells for 48 or 72 hours. Add 10 microL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) to each well and incubate for 4 hours at 37degC. Remove medium and add 100 microL DMSO to dissolve formazan crystals. Measure absorbance at 570 nm using a microplate reader. Calculate IC50 values by non-linear regression analysis. For DNA damage assessment, treat cells with 10 microM Pyridostatin for 24 hours, fix with 4% paraformaldehyde, and stain with anti-gamma-H2AX antibody and DAPI. Count gamma-H2AX foci per nucleus using fluorescence microscopy.
Animal Protocol
General protocol for in vivo animal experiments: Use female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks, 18-22 g). Subcutaneously inject HeLa cells (5×10^6 in 0.1 mL PBS mixed with Matrigel) into the right flank. When tumors reach approximately 100-150 mm3, randomize mice into groups (n=6-8 per group). Administer Pyridostatin trihydrochloride intraperitoneally at 10, 20, or 30 mg/kg daily or every other day for 14-21 days. The vehicle control group receives the same volume of saline or 5% DMSO in saline. Measure tumor volume every 3 days using calipers (volume = length × width2 × 0.5). Monitor body weight and general health status daily. At study endpoint, collect tumors for immunohistochemistry (gamma-H2AX, Ki67, cleaved caspase-3) and Western blot analysis. Calculate tumor growth inhibition (TGI) percentage as (1 - treatment tumor volume / control tumor volume) × 100%.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General pharmacokinetic properties: After intravenous administration in rodents (10 mg/kg), Pyridostatin trihydrochloride exhibits rapid clearance with a plasma half-life (t1/2) of 0.5-1 hour. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is dose-dependent, with Cmax of approximately 2-5 microM following IV dosing. Volume of distribution (Vd) is moderate (~1-2 L/kg), suggesting distribution into tissues. Plasma protein binding is high (>90%). Oral bioavailability is poor (typically <10%). The compound is metabolized primarily by CYP450 enzymes, with glucuronidation as a minor pathway. Elimination occurs mainly through biliary excretion, with less than 10% recovered unchanged in urine. The compound shows accumulation in liver and kidney.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity profile: In vitro, Pyridostatin trihydrochloride shows differential toxicity towards cancer cells versus normal cells. At concentrations up to 50 microM, it exhibits minimal cytotoxicity in normal human fibroblasts (WI-38) with cell viability >80% after 48 hours. In mice, acute toxicity studies indicate that intraperitoneal doses up to 30 mg/kg are generally well-tolerated, with no mortality or significant body weight loss observed over 14 days. At higher doses (50 mg/kg or above), mice may exhibit lethargy, reduced activity, and gastrointestinal distress. No significant organ-specific toxicity has been reported at therapeutic dose ranges (10-30 mg/kg). Long-term toxicity and genotoxicity studies have not been extensively performed. Standard laboratory safety precautions (gloves, goggles, lab coat) should be followed when handling.
