Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Phortress, also known as NSC-710305 and 5F-DF-203-L-lysinamide, is an apoptosis stimulant potentially for the treatment of solid tumours. Phortress had no effect on HUVEC and MRCV cell proliferation and survival. Unlike paclitaxel and fumagillin, Phortress did not inhibit endothelial tube differentiation. Phortress therefore exhibits no in vitro anti-angiogenic activity. As expected, Phortress was cytotoxic to MCF7 breast cancer cells, but unexpectedly, Phortress was also potent against colorectal cancer cells in clonogenic survival and cell growth (growth curves but not MTS assay) end-points.

Product Data
Biological target:
Phortress is a high affinity AhR ligand that elicits antitumor activity by inducing transcription of CYP1A1.
In vitro activity:
An ex vivo precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) model was used to search for concentration dependent effects of NSC 710305 (10, 25, 50, and 100 µM) on cytokine content, protein content, and immuno/histological endpoints. Preparation and culture of PCLS caused an initial spike in proinflammatory cytokine expression and therefore treatment with NSC 710305 was delayed until 48 h after initiating the slice cultures to avoid confounding the response to slicing with any drug response. PCLSs were evaluated after 24, 48, and 72 h exposures to NSC 710305. NSC 710305 caused a concentration-dependent cytokine response, and only the toxicity caused by a 72-h exposure to 25 µM reversed during the 24-h recovery period. Immuno/histological examination and quantitation of tissue protein levels indicated that tissue destruction, ED-1 (activated macrophage) staining, and protein levels were associated with the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the tissue. In conclusion, the concentration- and time-dependent inflammatory response of PCLS to NSC 710305 preceded relevant tissue damage by a few days.

In vivo activity:
Following treatment of xenograft-bearing mice and mice possessing hollow fiber implants containing MCF-7 or MDA-MB-435 cells with Phortress (20 mg/kg, i.p., 24 hours), tumor cells and xenografts were recovered for analyses by SCGE. Dose- and time-dependent DNA single and double strand breaks occurred exclusively in sensitive cells following treatment with 5F 203 in vitro (10 nmol/L-10 micromol/L; 24-72 hours). In vivo, Phortress-sensitive and Phortress-resistant tumor cells were distinct; moreover, DNA damage in xenografts, following treatment of mice with Phortress, could be determined.
