Cell lines

HCT-116 and HT-29 cell lines

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reaction Conditions

4 μM; 24 h

Applications

In HCT-116 and HT-29 cell lines, the ability of ABT-888 to synergize the effect of the anti-cancer agents, SN38 or oxaliplatin, was determined using the SRB assay. PARP activity was significantly reduced in samples treated with SN38 in combination with ABT-888 (>4 fold at 24 h).

Animal models

Female nude athymic mice

Dosage form

12.5 mg/kg; oral gavage twice daily in 6-hour intervals.

Applications

HCT116 xenografts were established in 5- to 6-week-old female nude athymic mice by subcutaneous flank injections of 200 mL cell suspension (5*106cells) per flank. This triple-therapy group (RT, CPT-11, and ABT) showed a significantly longer tumor growth delay (TGD) when compared with the tumors treated with RT and CPT-11 but no ABT-888, which had a mean TGD of 14.21 days.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.

ABT-888, also named as Veliparib, is poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor and has demonstrated excellentin vivoefficacy in a broad spectrum of preclinical tumor models in combination with a variety of cytotoxic agents. PARP is involved in DNA repair and elevated PARP levels can result in resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation. So, PARP inhibitors hold promise as chemotherapy and radiation sensitizers. ABT-888 is also active on microsatellite instability (MSI) cell lines harboring mutations in both MRE11 and RAD50 genes compared to microsatellite stable (MSS) cell lines (wild-type for both genes).
