Biological Activity

Description Exatecan Mesylate (DX-8951f) is a water-soluble and non-pro-drug analog of camptothecin and shows significant topoisomerase I inhibition with IC50 of 0.975 μg/ml.
Targets
topoisomerase I [1]
In vitro

Exatecan Mesylate shows both high potency against a series of 32 malignant cell lines and significant topoisomerase I inhibition in vitro. The anti‐proliferative activity of Exatecan Mesylate is about 6 and 28 times greater than that of SN‐38 or SK&F 10486‐A, respectively.[1]

In vivo

In mice, the antitumor activity of three doses of Exatecan Mesylate administered i.v. at 4‐day intervals against human gastric adenocarcinoma SC‐6 xenografts is greater than that of CPT‐11 or SK&F 10486‐A. Moreover, it overcame P‐glycoprotein‐mediated multi‐drug resistance. These data suggest that Exatecan Mesylate has a high antitumor activity and is a potential therapeutic agent.[1]
