Temozolomide is a monofunctional SN-1 alkylating agent that can modify nitrogen atoms in the DNA ring and the extracyclic oxygen group, chemically converted to MTIC and degrades to methyldiazonium cation, which transfers methyl groups to DNA at physiologic pH. A DNA damage inducer in L-1210 and L-1210/BCNU cells.

Methazolastone causes formation of DNA alkali-labile sites which are present in similar amounts and repaired at a similar rate in L-1210 and L-1210/BCNU cell lines. In L-1210 but not in L-1210/BCNU methazolastone induces an arrest of cells in SL-G2-M phases.[1] Methazolastone sensitivity of both chemo-sensitive and resistant cells (D54-R and U87-R) is enhanced significantly under hyperoxia. Both Methazolastone and hyperoxia are associated with increased phosphorylation of ERK p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2), but to a lesser extent in D54-R cells, suggesting that Erk1/2 activity may be involved in regulation of hyperoxia and Methazolastone-mediated cell death. Hyperoxia enhances Methazolastone toxicity in GBM cells by induction of apoptosis, possibly via MAPK-related pathways. [2] Methazolastone induces in monocytes the DNA damage response pathways ATM-Chk2 and ATR-Chk1 resulting in p53 activation. [3] Chronic Methazolastone exposure results in acquired Methazolastone-resistance and elevates miR-21 expression. [4] Methazolastone treatment triggers endoplasmic reticula (ER) stress with increased expression of GADD153 and GRP78 proteins, and deceases pro-caspase 12 protein. Methazolastone induces autophagy through mitochondrial damage- and ER stress-dependent mechanisms to protect glioma cells. [5] |

| In vivo | After a daily i.p. dose of 40 mg/kg for 5 consecutive days (days 1-5 after tumor transplant), methazolastone increases life-span by 86% in L-1210 and 22% in L-1210/BCNU. In L-1210/BCNU no effect is seen after 100 μM or 200 μM treatment; only 400 μM methazolastone produced an accumulation of cells in premitotic phase but much less than in L-1210. In L-1210/BCNU the maximum accumulation of cells in SL-G2-M is, after 48 hours-72 hours, approximately 30% as compared to 23% in untreated cells. Cells accumulates in SL-G2-M occurred too when L- 1210 leukemia-bearing mice are treated i.v. with methazola stone (40 mg/kg). No such effect is seen on L-1210/BCNU cells from mice given the same drug dose. [1] |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
