Description

Quinacrine (Mepacrine) dihydrochloride is an orally bioavailable antimalarial agent, which possess anticancer effect both in vitro and vivo. Quinacrine dihydrochloride suppresses NF-κB and activate p53 signaling, which results in the induction of the apoptosis[1].

IC50 & Target

Plasmodium

 

In Vitro

Quinacrine (5-20 μM; 24 hours) inhibits the growth of SGC-7901 cells[1].
? Quinacrine (7.5 and 15 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis in SGC-7901 cells, which is associated with mitochondria-dependent signal pathway and involves p53 upregulation and caspase-3 activation pathway[1].
? Quinacrine (15 μM; 24 hours) treatment significantly increased the levels of proapoptotic proteins, including cytochrome c, Bax, and p53, and decreased the levels of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, thus shifting the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in favor of apoptosis [1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: SGC-7901 cells
Concentration: 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Cell viability was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, and the mean IC50 value is 16.18 μM.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: SGC-7901 cells
Concentration: 7.5 and 15 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: The percentage of apoptotic cells, including the early phase and late phase apoptosis, increased to 26.30%, compared with control group of 3.37%.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: SGC-7901 cells
Concentration: 15 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: The relative quantity of cytochrome c protein was upregulated, increased from 0.10 to 0.24.
The relative quantity of p53 protein was dramatically increased, from 0.06 to 0.19.
The Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was dramatically elevated from 1.21 to 2.59.
In Vivo

Quinacrine (100 mg/kg three times per week for two consecutive weeks) significantly suppresses circulating blast cells at days 30/31 and increases the median survival time (MST). Quinacrine does not decrease the body weight of treated animals at the tested dose[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female SCID mice with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-PS model[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: Administered by oral gavage (po); three times a week for two consecutive weeks
Result: In the first AML mouse in vivo study, evaluation of circulating leukemic cells detected in blood samples (in percent of white blood cells (WBC)) at day 30/31 showed 72% human tumor cells in the control mice, whereas in mice treated with Quinacrine, this was only 2.2%.
The MST of control mice was 34 days whereas it was 46 days in Quinacrine-treated mice.

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.
