Description

Triapine (3-AP; PAN-811) is a potent inhibitor of the M2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RR), and is a potent radiosensitizer.

IC50 & Target

Ribonucleotide reductase (RR)[1]
In Vitro

Triapine (3-AP; PAN-811) is a potent derivative of α-heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HCT) that inhibits hRRM2 and p53R2 isoforms of the M2 subunit[1]. Triapine (3-AP; PAN-811) is thought to inhibit ribonucleotide reductase through its preformed iron chelate, rather than directly by removing iron from the active site. In cells containing less topoisomerase IIα fewer DNA strand breaks will be produced, and thus topoisomerase II poisons will be less inhibitory in the K/VP.5 cell line. The IC50s for Dp44mT growth inhibition are 48±9 nM and 60±12 nM, for K562 and K/VP.5 cells, respectively. The IC50s for Triapine growth inhibition are 476±39 nM and 661±69 nM for K562 and K/VP.5 cells, respectively[2]. PKIH and DpT Fe chelators show high antiproliferative activity against a range of tumor cell lines. Dp44mT shows the greatest antitumor efficacy with an IC50 that ranged from 0.005 to 0.4 μM. The average IC50 of Dp44mT over 28 cell types is 0.03±0.01 μM, which is significantly lower than that of Triapine (3-AP; PAN-811; average IC50: 1.41±0.37 μM)[3].

In Vivo

Triapine (3-AP; PAN-811) causes a significant increase (1.7-fold) in splenic weight when expressed as a percentage of total body weight (1.02±0.06%; n=25) compared with control mice (0.6±0.03%; n=27). In the long-term group, a significant increase in heart weight is observed after Dp44mT (0.4 mg/kg per day) (0.8±0.06%; n=4) compared with control mice (0.5±0.01%; n=6). A significant decrease in the expression of Ndrg1, TfR1, and VEGF1 in the liver is noted for Dp44mT- and Triapine (12 mg/kg per day)-treated animals. The decreased expression could be related to the increased liver Fe in both Dp44mT- and Triapine-treated mice[3].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.80 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.80 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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
[2]

An MTT assay is used to determine cell growth inhibition of CHO cells. Human leukemia K562 cells and K/VP.5 cells (a 26-fold etoposide-resistant K562-derived sub-line with decreased levels of topoisomerase IIα mRNA and protein) are maintained as suspension cultures in MEM containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). For growth inhibition assays, K562 and K/VP.5 cells are plated at a concentration of 1.5×105 cell/mL, and incubated 5 d with various concentrations of Dp44mT, Triapine or vehicle (DMSO) for 48 h, after which cells are counted on a model ZBF Coulter counter. The IC50 growth inhibitory concentration for each cell line is calculated from a non-linear least-squares fit to a 2-parameter logistic equation[2].

Animal Administration
[3]

Mice[3]
Female BALB/c nu/nu mice are used at 8-10 weeks of age. Tumor cells in culture are harvested, and 107 cells are suspended in Matrigel and injected s.c. into the right flanks of mice. After engraftment, tumor size is measured by Vernier calipers. Tumor volumes (in cubic millimeters) are calculated. When tumor volumes reached 120 mm3, i.v. treatment began (day 0). Chelators (e.g., Triapine) are dissolved in 15% propylene glycol in 0.9% saline and injected i.v. over 5 consecutive days per week for up to 7 weeks. Control mice are treated with vehicle alone.

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.
