Melflufen  (Synonyms: Melphalan flufenamide)

Cat. No.: HY-105019
Handling Instructions

Melflufen (Melphalan flufenamide), a dipeptide proagent of Melphalan, is an alkylating agent. Melflufen shows antitumor activity against multiple myeloma (MM) cells and inhibits angiogenesis. Melflufen induces irreversible DNA damage and cytotoxicity in MM cells.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Melflufen hydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

Melflufen (Melphalan flufenamide), a dipeptide proagent of Melphalan, is an alkylating agent. Melflufen shows antitumor activity against multiple myeloma (MM) cells and inhibits angiogenesis. Melflufen induces irreversible DNA damage and cytotoxicity in MM cells[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Melflufen (Melphalan flufenamide) (0.5-10 μM; 24 hours) decreases viability of MM.1S, INA-6, RPMI-8226, MM.1R, Dox-40, ARP-1, and ANBL-6 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Melflufen induces apoptosis in MM.1S cells[1].
Melphalan also is a potent activator of exosome secretion[3].

Cell Viability Assay

Cell Line: Multiple myeloma cells: MM.1S, INA-6, RPMI-8226, MM.1R, Dox-40, ARP-1, ANBL-6 cells
Concentration: 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: A significant concentration-dependent decrease in viability of all cell lines was observed.
In Vivo

Melflufen (Melphalan flufenamide) (3 mg/kg; i.v.; twice-weekly for two weeks) shows anti-MM activity in xenograft mouse model[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.
