Description:

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

Didemnin B is a depsipeptide that has been found in sea squirts and has diverse biological activities. It reduces viral titers of coxsackievirus A21, equine rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus 3, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), and HSV-2 in infected Vero cells when used at a concentration of 50 µg/ml. Didemnin B is cytotoxic to murine L1210 lymphocytic leukemia cells (IC50 = 1.1 ng/ml) and increases survival time in a P388 murine leukemia model when administered at a dose of 0.06 mg/kg. It also reduces splenomegaly in a mouse model of graft versus host reaction (GVHR) when administered at doses ranging from 0.05 to 0.3 mg/kg.

Product Data
Biological target:
A depsipeptide with diverse biological activities.
In vitro activity:
Didemnin B can induce apoptosis in a wide range of transformed cell lines. Resting normal lymphocytes, however, are apparently unaffected by exposure to the drug. Didemnin B induced apoptosis in normal lymphocytes only after mitogenic stimulation and therefore warrants further examination for its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent, especially for treatment of leukemia. Reference: Apoptosis. 2002 Oct;7(5):407-12. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12207173/
In vivo activity:
As expected, several other ER stress‐ and inflammation‐related transcripts were significantly induced in obese mice, but most were decreased to similar extents by didemnin B and caloric restriction (Table 2). Taken together, these data suggest that although didemnin B treatment did not inhibit the initiation of ER stress and induction of the UPR as indicated by eIF2α phosphorylation, it did diminish the later phases of the ER stress response (GRP78 and Xbp1s expression), and limited the activation of some inflammatory pathways (Mcp1 and Tnfa expression) – both to a greater extent than caloric restriction alone.
