Description: IC50 Value: N/A Lomustine (or "CCNU")(Marketed under the name CeeNU in US) is an alkylating nitrosourea compound used in chemotherapy. in vitro: vincristine and lomustine trigger apoptosis in all these cells through the mitochondrial pathway via decrease in the level of the anti-apoptosis proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl, respectively [1]. There was significant correlation between the level of cadherin-associated protein beta 1 (CTNNB1) and Aurora kinase A (STK15) proteins and neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 3 (TRKC) mRNA and the proportion of apoptosis induced by vincristine, the combination of both drugs, and lomustine, respectively [4]. in vivo: IC50 values for CCNU admixed and encapsulated with lipid vesicles were 18+/-4.9 and 14.0+/-2.2 microM, respectively, compared to 83+/-11.0 microM for free CCNU in rats [2]. Eight of the 19 dogs (42%) had a measurable response to CCNU. One dog had a durable complete response for 440 days. Seven dogs (37%) had a partial response for a median and mean duration of 77 days and 109 days, respectively (range, 21-254 days) [3]. Clinical trial: N/A |
