Description | Irinotecan is a water soluble topoisomerase I inhibitor, preventing religation of the DNA strand by binding to topoisomerase I-DNA complex. |

Topoisomerase I |
In Vitro | Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Irinotecan inhibits the growth of LoVo and HT-29 cells, with IC50s of 15.8 ± 5.1 and 5.17 ± 1.4 μM, respectively, and induces similar amounts of cleavable complexes in both in LoVo and HT-29 cells[2]. Irinotecan suppresses the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), with an IC50 of 1.3 μM[3]. |
In Vivo | Irinotecan (CPT-11, 5 mg/kg) significantly inhibits the growth of tumors by intratumoral injection daily for 5 days, on two consecutive weeks in rats, and such effects also occur via continuous intraperitoneal infusion by osmotic minipump into mice. However, Irinotecan (10 mg/kg) shows no effect on the growth of tumor by i.p[1]. Irinotecan (CPT-11, 100-300 mg/kg, i.p.) apparently suppresses tumor growth of HT-29 xenografts in athymic female mice by day 21. The two groups of Irinotecan (125 mg/kg) plus TSP-1 (10 mg/kg per day) or Irinotecan (150 mg/kg) in combination TSP-1 (20 mg/kg per day) are nearly equally effective and inhibit tumor growth 84% and 89%, respectively, and both are more effective than Irinotecan alone at doses of 250 and 300 mg/kg[3]. |
Cell Assay | Exponentially growing cells are seeded in 20 cm2 dishes with an optimal cell number for each cell line (20,000 for LoVo cells, 100,000 for HT-29 cells). They are treated 2 days later with increasing concentrations of irinotecan or SN-38 for one cell doubling time (24 h for LoVo cells, 40 h for HT-29 cells). After washing with 0.15 M NaCl, the cells are further grown for two doubling times in normal medium, detached from the support with trypsin-EDTA and counted in a hemocytometer. The IC50 values are then estimated as the drug concentrations responsible for 50% growth inhibition as compared with cells incubated without drug[2]. |
Animal Admin | Irinotecan has been administered by intratumoral injection at 0.1 cc volume of the appropriate solution, for a doses of 5 mg/kg daily for 5 days, on two consecutive weeks, followed by a 7-days rest period, referred to as one cycle of therapy. Rats receive three cycles over a period of 8 weeks. Control animals receive 0.1 cc of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution by intratumoral injection in the same rule of administration as that of animals of group II[1]. |
