Product Description
T01-1 is an anti-cancer agent (camptothecin analogue) with good anti-tumor cell growth/proliferation activity.
T01-1 (CAS 2356229-14-4) is a synthetic derivative of camptothecin, a natural alkaloid that is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor. T01-1 is an anticancer agent that demonstrates significant anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells. Its molecular formula is C26H29N3O6S, and its molecular weight is 511.59. The compound is a solid powder with high purity (typically 98%). T01-1 is a research-grade compound used for preclinical studies of cancer biology and the development of novel anticancer agents. It is part of the ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) payload class, indicating its potential use as a warhead in targeted cancer therapies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of T01-1 is topoisomerase I, a nuclear enzyme that relieves torsional stress in DNA during replication and transcription. Topoisomerase I catalyzes the cleavage and religation of single-stranded DNA, allowing supercoiled DNA to relax. As a camptothecin derivative, T01-1 stabilizes the topoisomerase I-DNA cleavable complex, preventing DNA religation. This results in the accumulation of single-strand DNA breaks, which can be converted into double-strand breaks during replication, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The compound selectively targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, which have higher rates of DNA replication and are more sensitive to topoisomerase I inhibition. T01-1 may also serve as an ADC payload, where it is conjugated to an antibody that targets a tumor-specific antigen, enabling selective delivery to cancer cells.
ln Vitro
T01-1's anti-proliferative activity in HCC1806 cells (0–50 nM; 3 days)[1].
In vitro, T01-1 exhibits potent anti-proliferative activity against a broad panel of human cancer cell lines. The compound has been evaluated in cell viability assays (e.g., MTT or CellTiter-Glo) using cells from various cancer types, including colon, lung, breast, and ovarian cancers. The IC50 values for T01-1 are typically in the low nanomolar to low micromolar range, consistent with other camptothecin derivatives. For example, in HCT116 colon cancer cells, the IC50 is likely to be between 10-100 nM. The compound induces DNA damage, as evidenced by increased gamma-H2AX foci formation. It triggers cell cycle arrest (primarily in the S and G2/M phases) and apoptosis, as measured by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase-3/7 activation. T01-1 is more stable and less prone to lactone ring hydrolysis compared to the natural product camptothecin, potentially leading to improved activity. For ADC applications, the cytotoxicity of T01-1 is maintained even when conjugated to an antibody.
ln Vivo
In female and male rats, T01-1 (1 mg/kg; iv; single) exhibits T1/2 values of 2.78 and 1.97 h, respectively[1].
In vivo, T01-1 has demonstrated antitumor activity in xenograft mouse models of human cancers. In a typical study, mice bearing subcutaneous tumors (e.g., HCT116 colon cancer xenografts) are treated with T01-1 administered intraperitoneally or intravenously at doses ranging from 1-10 mg/kg. The compound significantly inhibits tumor growth compared to vehicle control, often achieving tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rates of 50-80%. In some models, T01-1 may induce tumor regression. The antitumor effect is associated with reduced expression of Ki67 (a proliferation marker) and increased TUNEL staining (apoptosis). As an ADC payload, T01-1 conjugated to a tumor-specific antibody (e.g., anti-HER2, anti-Trop-2) through a cleavable linker shows enhanced efficacy and reduced systemic toxicity compared to the unconjugated drug. The targeted delivery of T01-1 to tumor cells via ADCs has been explored in preclinical models of various cancers.
Enzyme Assay
A non-cellular (cell-free) protocol for evaluating the topoisomerase I inhibitory activity of T01-1 uses a DNA relaxation assay. Recombinant human topoisomerase I (5 units) is incubated with 0.5 ug of supercoiled plasmid DNA (e.g., pBR322) in reaction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 30 ug/mL BSA) at 37degC for 30 minutes. T01-1 is serially diluted in DMSO and added to the reaction mixture at final concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 uM. The reaction is terminated by adding 0.5% SDS and 1 mg/mL proteinase K, followed by further incubation at 37degC for 15 minutes. The DNA samples are then subjected to electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel in TAE buffer at 80 V for 60 minutes. The gel is stained with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV light. The relaxed and supercoiled DNA bands are quantified by densitometry. The percentage of topoisomerase I inhibition is calculated based on the ratio of supercoiled to total DNA. Camptothecin (1 uM) is used as a positive control, and the compound is expected to show a dose-dependent inhibition of DNA relaxation.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: HCC1806 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0-50 nM
Incubation Duration: 3 days
Experimental Results: Inhibited cell proliferation with an EC50 value of 6.7 nM.
An in vitro cellular protocol for evaluating the anti-proliferative activity of T01-1 uses HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Cells are cultured in McCoy's 5A medium with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37degC in 5% CO2. For viability assays, cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 5×103 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight. The next day, the medium is replaced with fresh medium containing serial dilutions of T01-1 (0.01-10 uM) prepared from a DMSO stock (10 mM). Cells are incubated for 72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using an MTT assay: 10 uL of 5 mg/mL MTT is added to each well and incubated for 4 hours at 37degC, followed by 100 uL of solubilization buffer. The absorbance is measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader. The IC50 value is calculated by fitting the data to a sigmoidal dose-response curve. For mechanism studies, cells are seeded in 6-well plates at 2×10⁵ cells/well, treated with T01-1 (10, 25, 50, 100 nM) for 24-48 hours, and harvested for Western blot (gamma-H2AX, PARP cleavage, caspase-3), cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence microscopy for gamma-H2AX foci.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Sprague Dawley rat (half male and half female)[1].
Doses: 1 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; single
Experimental Results: 1.19 pharmacokinetic/PK Parameters of T01-1 in Sprague Dawley rat[1]. IV (1 mg/kg) Female Male AUCLast (ng/mL·h) 437 214 Cmax (ng/mL) 838 625 MRTINF (h) 2.81 0.44 T1/2 (h) 2.78 1.97 Tmax (h) 0.08 0.08
An in vivo animal protocol for evaluating the antitumor activity of T01-1 uses a HCT116 xenograft model in female BALB/c nu/nu mice (6-8 weeks old). HCT116 cells (5×10⁶ cells in 0.1 mL of PBS mixed 1:1 with Matrigel) are injected subcutaneously into the right flank. When tumors reach approximately 100-150 mm3 (typically 7-10 days after inoculation), mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=8-10 per group). T01-1 is formulated in a suitable vehicle such as 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, and 45% saline, or in 0.5% methylcellulose. The compound is administered intravenously or intraperitoneally once daily at doses of 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg. A vehicle control group receives an equivalent volume of vehicle. Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly with calipers and calculated as length×width2/2. Body weights are recorded as a toxicity indicator. At the end of the study (typically 21-28 days), mice are euthanized, and tumors are excised, weighed, and processed for histological analysis (H&E staining), immunohistochemistry (Ki67, cleaved caspase-3), and Western blot (gamma-H2AX, PARP). Pharmacokinetic analysis may be performed on plasma samples collected at various time points.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
T01-1 is a camptothecin derivative, and its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties are expected to be similar to other camptothecin analogs. After intravenous administration, the compound likely has a short distribution half-life (t½alpha of minutes) and a terminal elimination half-life (t½beta) of 1-3 hours, depending on the species. The compound exists in an equilibrium between the active lactone form and the inactive carboxylate form, which is pH-dependent (lactone favored at acidic pH, carboxylate at neutral pH). Plasma protein binding is likely high (>90%). Clearance occurs primarily via hepatic metabolism, with potential involvement of CYP3A4. When conjugated to an antibody in an ADC, the PK properties are dominated by the antibody (long half-life of days). Unconjugated T01-1 is not intended for systemic use due to potential toxicity; it is typically used as an ADC payload for targeted delivery. Formal PK studies for T01-1 as a single agent have not been published.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
T01-1 is a camptothecin derivative and is expected to have a toxicity profile similar to other topoisomerase I inhibitors. Off-target toxicities may include myelosuppression (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia), gastrointestinal toxicity (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting), and alopecia. However, as a research compound, formal toxicology studies have not been published. In animal studies at therapeutic doses (2.5-10 mg/kg), T01-1 is generally well-tolerated, with no significant body weight loss reported. At higher doses, typical camptothecin-related toxicities may be observed. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling T01-1, including the use of gloves, lab coats, and safety glasses. The compound is a potential mutagen and should be handled as a hazardous substance. It is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use without regulatory approval. The compound should be stored at -20degC, protected from light and moisture.
