Description

Acelarin (NUC-1031) is a ProTide transformation and enhancement of the widely-used nucleoside analogue, gemcitabine.

IC50 & Target

EC50:0.2 nM (DNA synthesis inhibitor)[1]

In Vitro

Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analogue commonly used in cancer therapy but with limited efficacy due to a high susceptibility to cancer cell resistance. The addition of a phosphoramidate motif to the gemcitabine can protect it against many of the key cancer resistance mechanisms. A series of gemcitabine phosphoramidate prodrugs are synthesized and screened for cytostatic activity in a range of different tumor cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, NUC-1031 is shown to be potent in vitro.

In Vivo

The ProTide demonstrates a significant reduction in tumor size against pancreatic xenograft models compared with the gemcitabine treated group, and less adverse effects on body weight, indicating a better safety profile. Data strongly suggests that the ProTides are not reliant on kinases or nucleoside transporters to exert their activity inside tumor cells and remain stable in the presence of deaminases. The ProTide NUC-1031 is currently advancing through phase I/II clinical studies and has already generated strong pharmacokinetic data that confirm significantly higher intracellular levels of gemcitabine triphosphate, together with promising early efficacy signals and a favorable safety profile. The phosphoramidate chemistry is potentially a great source of new and very effective anticancer agents, bringing a considerable array of advanced treatments specifically designed to overcome cancer resistance mechanisms that will benefit a greater proportion of patients[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.58 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.58 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

NUC-1031(5.0 mg) is dissolved in DMSO (0.050 mL) and D2O (0.15 mL). After recording the control 31P NMR at 37 °C, a previously defrosted human, rat, or dog serum (0.30 mL) is added to the sample, which is next submitted to the 31P NMR experiments at 37°C. The spectra are recorded every 30 min over 13 h. 31P NMR recorded data are processed and analyzed with the Bruker Topspin 2.1 program[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Balb/c nude mice are female, six to eight week old, with the weight of 20 ± 2 g. They are intraperitoneally given NUC-1031 (i.p 0.228 mmol/kg, 132.3 mg/kg, 2×/WK) or vehicle for 2 weeks. NUC-1031 is dissolved in 40% Captisol solution. (40% Captisol is prepared by dissolving 20mg of Captisol with pure water, and made the final volume 50 mL. The solvent is filtered with 0.22 μm filter). Mice are monitored daily for body weight change and clinical symptoms for 2 weeks[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
