Gemcitabine HCl

SKU: orb1226764

Description

Gemcitabine HCl is a DNA synthesis inhibitor with IC50 of 50 nM, 40 nM, 18 nM and 12 nM in PANC1, MIAPaCa2, BxPC3 and Capan2 cells, respectively.(In Vitro):Gemcitabine Hydrochloride (purchased from MedChem Express, 0.003-1 μM; 3 days) kills both mouse and human senescent cells effectively and potently.Gemcitabine Hydrochloride inhibits the growth of BxPC-3, Mia Paca-2, PANC-1, PL-45 and AsPC-1 cells with IC50s of 37.6, 42.9, 92.7, 89.3 and 131.4 nM, respectively.\n(In Vivo):Gemcitabine Hydrochloride can be administered via endotracheal spray in rats without marked toxicity with a maximum tolerated dose of 4 mg/kg once a week for 9 weeks. The toxicity of Gemcitabine is lower via lung than oral administration at dosages of 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg.Treatment of the LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H; Pdx-1-Cre mice with either Gemcitabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.) or the combination DMAPT/Gemcitabine Hydrochloride significantly increases the median survival time by more than 30 days compared to the placebo group (254.5 or 255 days vs. 217.5 days, respectively).

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Gemcitabine Hydrochloride can be administered via endotracheal spray in rats without marked toxicity with a maximum tolerated dose of 4 mg/kg once a week for 9 weeks. The toxicity of Gemcitabine is lower via lung than oral administration at dosages of 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg. Treatment of the LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H; Pdx-1-Cre mice with either Gemcitabine (50 mg/kg, i.p.) or the combination DMAPT/Gemcitabine Hydrochloride significantly increases the median survival time by more than 30 days compared to the placebo group (254.5 or 255 days vs. 217.5 days, respectively).
• In Vitro:
  Gemcitabine Hydrochloride (purchased from MedChem Express, 0.003-1 μM; 3 days) kills both mouse and human senescent cells effectively and potently. Gemcitabine Hydrochloride inhibits the growth of BxPC-3, Mia Paca-2, PANC-1, PL-45 and AsPC-1 cells with IC50s of 37.6, 42.9, 92.7, 89.3 and 131.4 nM, respectively. Cell Viability Assay Cell line: Non-senescent and replication-induced senescent new born dermal fibroblasts (NBFs). Concentration: 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1 μM Incubation time: 3 days. Result: Killed replication-induced senescent NBFs for 3 days with 11.0% cell viability.
