ProtocolIn VitroTemozolomide (TZM) is a methylating agent that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is indicated for malignant gliomas and metastatic melanomas. Temozolomide is effective against tumor cells that are characterized by low levels of O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (OGAT) and a functional mismatch repair system (MR).
In VivoTemozolomide (TZM), as a single agent, does not significantly increase mdian survival time (MST) with respect to control. Noteworthy, intracranial injection of NU1025, immediately before the administration of 100 or 200 mg/kg Temozolomide, significantly increases lifespans with respect to controls or to groups treated with Temozolomide only. When Temozolomide is fractionated, the increase in lifespan (ILS) obtained with this schedule is higher than that observed when NU1025 is combined with a single injection of Temozolomide (statistical comparison of survival curves: NU1025 intracranially+Temozolomide 100 mg/kg×2 vs NU1025+Temozolomide 200 mg/kg; P=0.023).
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.
