Biological Activity

Description

Irinotecan (CPT-11, (+)-Irinotecan) hydrochloride is an inhibitor of Topoisomerase I (Topo I) that exhibits cytotoxicity in LoVo cells and HT-29 cells with IC50 of 15.8 μM and 5.17 μM, respectively.

Targets

Topo I ^[1]	cytotoxicity in HT-29 cells ^[1] (Cell-based assay)	cytotoxicity in LoVo cells ^[1] (Cell-based assay)
	5.17 μM	15.8 μM

In vitro

The combination of gefitinib and irinotecan has a significant synergistic effect on the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-231 cells.^[2]

In vivo

The combination of gefitinib and irinotecan has a significant synergistic effect in the treatment of TNBC subtype cells in xenograft model.^[2]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[2]}	Cell lines Human BC cell lines Concentrations 32 μM Incubation Time 24 h, 72 h Method Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 6 × 103 cells/well for overnight incubation. The cells are exposed to irinotecan alone or combinations. Seventy-two hours after drug treatment, cell viability is tested with the MTT assay. For wound fealing assay, cells are seeded in 6-well culture plates at a density of 3 × 10⁵ cells/mL. After growing to confluence, cells are treated with irinotecan for 48 h in DMEM.
