Description:

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

Mitoxantrone is an anthraquinone that intercalates in DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II (IC50 = 5.3 μM), thus inhibiting cell proliferation. It also inhibits HIV-1 integrase (IC50 = 3.8 μM). Mitoxantrone is exported from cells in an ATP- and glutathione-dependent manner by multidrug resistance protein-1.4 Formulations containing mitoxantrone have been used in the treatment of cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Product Data
Biological target:
Mitoxantrone is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor. Mitoxantrone also inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) activity with an IC50 of 8.5 μM.
In vitro activity:
Kinetic studies demonstrated that mitoxantrone inhibited PKC in a competitive manner with respect to histone H1, and its Ki value was 6.3 microM (Ki values of daunorubicin and doxorubicin were 0.89 and 0.15 mM, respectively), and in a non-competitive manner with respect to phosphatidylserine and ATP. Inhibition of phosphorylation by mitoxantrone was observed with various substrates including S6 peptide, myelin basic protein and its peptide substrate derived from the amino-terminal region. Reference: J Biochem. 1992 Dec;112(6):762-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1295884/
In vivo activity:
Mitoxantrone demonstrated an EC(50) of 0.25 μM against cowpox and 0.8 μM against monkeypox. Intraperitoneal treatment of cowpox virus-challenged C57Bl/6 mice with 0.5 mg/kg mitoxantrone resulted in 25% survival and a significant increase in survival time.
