| Targets |
The primary targets of Squalamine lactate are the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE3, VEGF signaling, and integrin expression. By inhibiting NHE3, it suppresses endothelial cell proliferation and migration. It also blocks the action of VEGF and integrin expression when bound to calmodulin, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis. This dual mechanism of action-directly inhibiting endothelial cells and blocking angiogenic signals-makes it a potent anti-angiogenic agent.

| ln Vitro |
The effects of squalamine lactate on the cell signaling cascades that VEGF and other growth factors share are more extensive [1]. Squalamine inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the effects of VEGF and integrin expression when combined with calmodulin [2].
In vitro, Squalamine lactate inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the effects of VEGF and integrin expression when combined with calmodulin. It suppresses endothelial cell proliferation and migration by inhibiting the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE3. It also exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity via membrane disruption. These in vitro activities demonstrate its potential as both an anti-angiogenic and antimicrobial agent. It is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, which is a key process in tumor growth and neovascular AMD. |
| ln Vivo |
Administering squalamine intravitreally is ineffective; intravenous administration is necessary. Nonetheless, systemic treatment in humans and rodents has had encouraging outcomes [2].
In vivo, Squalamine lactate has been investigated as a treatment for neovascular AMD and as an antineoplastic agent. It is ineffective when administered intravitreally and therefore requires intravenous dosing. Its anti-angiogenic activity makes it a candidate for treating conditions characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth. In preclinical studies, it has shown promise in inhibiting angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. It has been studied for its potential to prevent the progression of neovascular AMD. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free receptor binding assays for Squalamine lactate typically assess its binding to calmodulin. A standard protocol involves incubating calmodulin with a fluorescently labeled calmodulin-binding peptide and varying concentrations of Squalamine lactate. The displacement of the peptide is measured by fluorescence polarization. The IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. This assay confirms its interaction with calmodulin, which is a key part of its mechanism of action in blocking VEGF and integrin expression.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular experiments, endothelial cells (e.g., HUVECs) are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are treated with Squalamine lactate at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 uM). Endothelial cell proliferation is measured using MTT or BrdU incorporation assays. Cell migration is assessed using a wound healing or Boyden chamber assay. Tube formation is assessed by culturing cells on Matrigel and measuring the formation of capillary-like structures. These assays define its anti-angiogenic potency.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with Squalamine lactate are typically conducted in models of neovascularization, such as the mouse model of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) for AMD, or in tumor xenograft models. A common protocol involves administering the compound via intravenous (IV) injection at various doses (e.g., 1-50 mg/kg). The extent of neovascularization is assessed by measuring the area of new blood vessel growth using fluorescein angiography or by histological analysis. In tumor models, tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Squalamine lactate has a molecular weight of 627.98 g/mol. As a salt, it has improved aqueous solubility compared to the free base. It is administered intravenously due to poor oral bioavailability. Its pharmacokinetic profile is characterized by a short half-life and rapid clearance. It is stored as a powder at -20degC. For in vivo studies, it is formulated in a suitable vehicle for injection. Its development as a therapeutic has been investigated for both oncology and ophthalmology indications.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Squalamine lactate is generally favorable, as it has been investigated in clinical trials. Common side effects are mild and may include fatigue, nausea, and infusion-related reactions. Its mechanism of action as an anti-angiogenic agent may have effects on wound healing and other normal physiological processes. However, it is well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. It is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use in a research setting.

| Additional Infomation |
Squalamine lactate is the lactate form of squalamine, an aminosterol isolated from the tissue of the spiny shark (Squalus acanthias). Squalamine possesses anti-angiogenic properties; it inhibits the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE3, thereby suppressing endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, this substance exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. (NCI04)
See also: Squalamine (note moved to). Squalamine lactate is an aminosterol isolated from the dogfish shark that acts as a potent anti-angiogenic agent. It inhibits angiogenesis by blocking the effects of VEGF and integrin expression when bound to calmodulin and by inhibiting the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE3. It has been studied for the treatment of neovascular AMD and as an antineoplastic agent. It is a valuable research tool for studying angiogenesis and related diseases. |
