MedKoo Cat#: 100550 | Name: Lomustine

Description:

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

Lomustine is a nitrosourea with antineoplastic activity. Lomustine alkylates and crosslinks DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis. This agent also carbamoylates DNA and proteins, resulting in inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis and disruption of RNA processing. Lomustine is lipophilic and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus).

Biological target:

Lomustine (CCNU; NSC 79037) is a DNA alkylating agent, with antitumor activity

In vitro activity:

To determine MGMT expression in canine lymphoma cells, a cytotoxicity assay was conducted with lomustine and an MGMT inhibitor, O6-benzylguanine (BG), on canine lymphoma cell lines, detecting MGMT activity by a fluorometric oligonucleotide assay. As shown in Figure 1 and Table II, BG inactivation of MGMT activity significantly increased the toxicity of lomustine to CL-1 and Nody-1 cells. Furthermore, MGMT gene expression was also observed in these cell lines with real-time PCR (Figure 3). These results strongly demonstrate that CL-1 and Nody-1 cell lines with MGMT activity are resistant to lomustine toxicity. In contrast, the Ema, GL-1, and UL-1 cell lines did not show a similar resistance to the cytotoxicity caused by lomustine, although real-time PCR detected weak MGMT expression in the UL-1 cells. These results indicate that MGMT strongly influences the sensitivity of canine lymphoma cell lines to lomustine. Furthermore, the IC50 data (Table II) indicated that canine lymphoma cell lines such as CL-1 and Nody-1 that have MGMT activity are resistant to lomustine, whereas cell lines like Ema, GL-1, and UL-1 that have no MGMT activity are sensitive to lomustine. This study has demonstrated that MGMT is strongly correlated with the resistance of canine lymphoma cell lines to the nitrosourea lomustine, as it is with human cells. Furthermore, it has been shown that there are 2 types of lymphoma cells: those that possess MGMT activity and show low sensitivity to lomustine, and others that do not possess MGMT activity and show high sensitivity to lomustine.

In vivo activity:

Mice were dosed with either intravenous lomustine Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) nanoparticles (13 mg kg(-1)) or ethanolic lomustine (6.5 mg kg(-1)) and tissues analysed. Efficacy was assessed in an orthotopic U-87 MG glioblastoma model, following intravenous MET lomustine (daily 13 mg kg(-1)) or ethanolic lomustine (daily 1.2 mg kg(-1) - the highest repeated dose possible). Myelosuppression and MET particle macrophage uptake were also investigated. The MET formulation resulted in modest brain targeting (brain/ bone AUC0-4h ratios for MET and ethanolic lomustine = 0.90 and 0.53 respectively and brain/ liver AUC0-4h ratios for MET and ethanolic lomustine = 0.24 and 0.15 respectively). The MET formulation significantly increased mice (U-87 MG tumours) survival times; with MET lomustine, ethanolic lomustine and untreated mean survival times of 33.2, 22.5 and 21.3 days respectively and there were no material treatment-related differences in blood and femoral cell counts. The findings show that lomustine dose intensification with the MET particle system improved the survival of intracranial tumour bearing mice and did not produce significant additional myelosuppressive effects as bone and bone marrow deposition of the drug was reduced with the MET system.
