Description

GEM-5 is a gemcitabine-based conjugate containing a HIF-1α inhibitor (YC-1) (IC50=30 nM). GEM-5 can significantly down-regulate the expression of HIF-1α and up-regulate the expression of tumor suppressor p53. GEM-5 induces the apoptosis of A2780 cells and inhibits tumor growth[1].

In Vitro

GEM-5 (0-80 μM; 12 hours) exhibits excellent antitumor activity toward A2780 cells under hypoxic condition with IC50 of 0.03 μM[1].
GEM-5 (0.5 μM; 72 hours) rises the apoptotic population to 52.67% under normoxic condition and 80.89% in A2780 cells under hypoxic condition[1].
GEM-5 (0.5 μM; 24 hours) arrests the cell cycle at the S phase (63.02% under normoxia and 72.64% under hypoxia)[1].
GEM-5 (0.1 and 1 μM; 24 hours) decreases the levels of HIF-1α and increases the levels of p53 in a dose dependent manner under hypoxic condition[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.
