 Use of Merbarone


Merbarone (NSC 336628) is an orally active inhibitor of topoisomerase II. Merbarone acts primarily by blocking topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage. Merbarone is an anticancer agent[1][2].

topoisomerase II[1]

In Vitro Merbarone (1-100 μM) inhibits L1210 cells proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 10 μM[3]. Merbarone (10-200 μM; 10 min) inhibits DNA relaxation catalyzed by human topoisomerase IIα, with an IC50 of ∼40 μM[1]. Merbarone (25-200 μM; 6 min) blocks tyopoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage, with an IC50 of ∼50 μM[1]. Merbarone (100 μM; 6 min) inhibits topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage in a global manner[1]. Merbarone (100 μM; 6 min) does not impair topoisomerase II•DNA binding[1]. Merbarone (200 μM; 4-16 min) does not inhibit topoisomerase II-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis[1].
In Vivo Merbarone (50 mg/kg; daily i.p. for 5 d) achieves a maximum increased life span (ILS) of 101% in P388 murine leukemia[2]. Merbarone (124 mg/kg; daily p.o. for 9 d) has anti-tumor activity in mice[2].
