Product Data
Biological target:
Dorzolamide (L671152) is a potent carbonic anhydrase II inhibitor, with IC50 values of 0.18 nM and 600 nM for red blood cell CA-II and CA-I respectively.
In vitro activity:
Component A, caused by an inward flux of CO(2) and its subsequent hydration by CA-II, was blocked by dorzolamide in a dose-dependent manner with an 50% inhibitory concentration (IC)(50) of 2.4 micro M (95% confidence interval: 0.5 -10.85 microM). Dorzolamide significantly inhibits CA activity in BCECs at micromolar levels. Reference: Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2002 Oct;43(10):3273-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12356834/
In vivo activity:
Mice were treated with dorzolamide (3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day, i.p.) and/or mitomycin C (1 mg/kg, i.p.) weekly for 3 weeks. Treatment with mitomycin C increased TXNIP level in EAC solid tumors in mice. Likewise, treatment with dorzolamide upregulated TXNIP and p53 while downregulated bcl-2. Reference: .
