Bendamustine hydrochloride

Description

Bendamustine is a purine analog and DNA alkylating agent. It inhibits growth of SKW-3, Reh, CML-T1, BV-173, and HL-60 leukemia cell lines (IC₅₀s = 27.0, 28.6, 15.6, 20.8, and 57.7 μM, respectively) but not MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines (IC₅₀s = >200 and >200 μM, respectively). It kills B cell-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells derived from naïve and bendamustine-pretreated patients (LD₅₀s = 6.8-8.3 and 3.8-4.9 mg/ml, respectively). Bendamustine (50 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth by 9% and 96% alone and in combination with ofatumumab, respectively, in a JVM-3 CLL mouse xenograft model. It activates the DNA-damage stress response, the base excision DNA repair pathway, and apoptosis, as well as inhibits mitotic checkpoints and induces mitotic catastrophe. Formulations containing bendamustine have been used to treat CLL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The Uses of Bendamustine hydrochloride

Bendamustine hydrochloride hydrate has been used as:

• a chemotherapy agent for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) samples to monitor spliced and unspliced gene expression
• an inhibitor to E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF3 (HOIP) in?matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry?(MALDI-TOF) assay
• a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drug in high-throughput screening to test interaction with BAY87-2243
