PRIMA-1 is converted to compounds that form adducts with thiols in mutant p53. Modification of thiol groups in mutant p53 by PRIMA-1 conversion products is sufficient to restore its tumor suppressor activity.[2]. PRIMA-1 inhibits the growth of pancreatic cancer cell lines and induces cell cycle arrest and decreases DNA synthesis. It selectively induces apoptosis and cell death in mutant p53-expressing pancreatic cancer cells and also leads to activation of p53-dependent apoptotic pathways. PRIMA-1 enhances the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents active against mutant p53 pancreatic cancer cells[1]. PRIMA-1 has antileukemic properties in acute promyelocytic leukemia-derived NB4 cells. PRIMA-1-triggered apoptosis is in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner as indicated by the MTT assay and annexin-V staining. Apoptosis induction by PRIMA-1 is associated with caspase-9, caspase-7 activation and PARP cleavage. PRIMA-1 does not show any significant apoptotic effect in normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells[4].
Cell Research Cell lines mutant p53 expressing pancreatic cancer cell lines PANC-1 (p.R273H) and BxPC-3 (p.Y220C) and the wild type p53-expressing Capan-2 cells (wtp53)
Concentrations 25-100 μM
Incubation Time 12-48 h
Method

Cells are kept at a temperature of 37 °C, a minimum relative humidity of 95 %, and an atmosphere of 5 % CO2 in air. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay after treatment with PRIMA-1. Briefly, cells are seeded in each well of 96-well plates in 100 μl culture medium and incubated overnight at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5 % CO2. The plates are further incubated at 37 °C under 5 % CO2 for 4 h and then left at room temperature until completely dry. DMSO was then added and the absorbance is read at 492 nm using a microplate enzyme-linked immunoassay reader (ELISA). The relative growth activity is determined as the percentage absorbance of treated cells compared to that of vehicle treated cells (control).
In Vivo
In vivo

Intravenous (i.v.) injections of PRIMA-1 in mice does not cause any obvious changes in weight or behavior compared with untreated animals. PRIMA-1 has in vivo antitumor activity in this animal tumor model. It suppresses in vivo tumor growth in a mutant p53-dependent manner[3].

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
