- Product Overview:
TH-302 is a hypoxia-activated prodrug and DNA alkylating agent with anticancer activity.{43360} It is selectively cytotoxic to H460 human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells grown under hypoxic over normoxic conditions (IC50s = 0.019 and 5.1 ?M, respectively).{43360} Under hypoxic conditions, TH-302 undergoes a one-electron reduction to form an active radical intermediate that is then further reduced to form a DNA-intercalating hydroxylamine. Under normoxic conditions, the radical intermediate is quenched and induces reformation of the inactive nitroazole prodrug. TH-302 reduces survival of H460 and HT-29 cells in a clonogenic assay (IC50s = 0.2 and 0.2 ?M, respectively). In vivo, TH-302 (33 mg/kg per day) inhibits primary tumor growth by 41% in an MIA PaCa-2-RFP mouse orthotopic xenograft model. It inhibits tumor growth by greater than 40% in Calu-6 NSCLC, H82 small cell lung, A375 melanoma, PC-3 prostate, and BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer mouse xenograft models when administered at 50 mg/kg.{43361}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
