- Product Overview:
Belotecan is an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I (IC50 = 0.119 µg/ml) and a derivative of the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin (Item No. 11694).{58975} It inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cell lines, including KATO III stomach, HT-29 colon, A549 lung, MDA-MB-231 breast, and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells (IC50s = 160, 10.9, 9, 345, and 31 ng/ml, respectively). Belotecan (150 ng/ml) induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in, and inhibits invasion of, SiHa cervical cancer cells.{58976} It reduces tumor growth in a Ca Ski cervical cancer mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg. Belotecan (80 µg/kg) reduces food intake and body weight in pregnant dams and increases fetal deaths and decreases litter size.{58977} Formulations containing belotecan have been used in the treatment of ovarian and small cell lung cancer.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
