摘要
CPT-11 (irinotecan) is a derivative of camptothecin which is a natural product derived from the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminta and widely used in antitumor therapy. Here, the in vitro anti-tumor activity and associated mechanisms of a novel derivative of camptothecin, ZBH-1205, were investigated in a panel of 9 human tumor cell lines, as well as in HEK 293 and SK-OV-3/DPP, a multi-drug resistant (MDR) cell line, and compared to CPT-11 and 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN38). Comparisons between the different compounds were made on the basis of IC50 values as determined by the MIT assay, and flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and the levels of pro- and active caspase-3 among different treatment groups. Interaction between the molecules and topoisomerase-1 (Topo-1)-DNA complexes was detected by a DNA relaxation assay. Our results demonstrated that IC50 values for ZBH-1205 ranged from 0.0009 mu mol/L. to 2.5671 mu mol/L, which were consistently lower than IC50 values of CPT-11 or SN38 in the panel of cell lines, including SK-OV-3/DPP. Furthermore, ZBH-1205 was more effective than CPT-11 or SN38 at stabilizing Topo-1-DNA complexes and inducing tumor cell apoptosis. Therefore, ZBH-1205 is a promising chemotherapeutic agent to be further assessed in large-scale clinical trials.
