Description | Oblimersen is a BCL-2 inhibitor targeting BCL-2 RNA. Oblimersen specifically binds to the first six codons of the bcl-2 mRNA sequence, resulting in degradation of bcl-2 mRNA and induces apoptosis by down-regulating expression of Bcl-2. Oblimersen can be used for cancer research[1][2][3]. |

In Vitro | Oblimersen (500 nM; 72 hours; human small-cell lung cancer cell lines H69) decreases BCL-2 protein expression in vitro[1]. Oblimersen (500 nM; 72 hours; human small-cell lung cancer cell lines H69) increases radiation-induced apoptosis[1]. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: Human small-cell lung cancer cell lines H69 Concentration: 500 nM Incubation Time: 72 hours Result: Decreased BCL-2 protein levels. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: Human small-cell lung cancer cell lines H69 Concentration: 500 nM Incubation Time: 72 hours Result: Arrested cell cycle at sub G1 phase. |
In Vivo | Oblimersen (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily, for 6 days; nude mice bearing H69 xenografts) decreases tumoural vascularisation in vivo[1]. Oblimersen (5-10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily (Monday to Friday), for 3 weeks) has antitumor efficacy in the subcutaneous tumor model[2]. Animal Model: Male severe combined immunodeficient (SCID)-RAG2 mice[2] Dosage: 5 and 10 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; daily (Monday to Friday), for 3 weeks Result: Inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. |
