Bendamustine Hcl(SDX105; EP-3101) is a DNA-damaging agent with IC50 of 50 μM.
Target: Others
Approved: March 2008
Treatment with Bendamustine results in a 60% to 80% down-regulation of the mRNA expression of all three of these genes [polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1), Aurora Kinase A, and cyclin B1] in SU-DHL-9 cells. Twenty-six percent of the Bendamustine-treated MCF-7/ADR cells showed micronucleation compared with only 6% in DMSO control cells [1]. Using Bendamustine alone in concentrations from 1 μg/mL to 50 μg/mL, a dose- and time-dependent manner of cytotoxicity from 30.4% to 94.8% after 48 hours could be observed. The LD50 for untreated and pretreated CLL cells is 7.3 or 4.4 μg /mL, respectively [2]. Myeloid and breast carcinoma cell lines are resistant towards Bendamustine with the exception of HL-60 cells which exhibit an intermediate sensitivity. Bendamustine is found to have a very low clastogenic effect as compared with equimolar doses of lomustine [3].
A single dose of Bendamustine at 25 mg/kg demonstrates significant activity in all three tumor lines (DoHH-2, Granta 519 and RAMOS). DoHH-2 is the most sensitive, with 30% ORR and a 69% inhibition in tumor growth. Growth of Granta 519 and RAMOS is also inhibited by Bendamustine (%TGI of 74% and 81%, respectively), and the effect is more durable in Granta 519 (%TGD of 124%) than for DoHH-2 or RAMOS (69% and 43%, respectively) [4].
