CEP-9722

    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Description: CEP-9722 is a small-molecule prodrug of CEP-8983, a novel 4-methoxy-carbazole inhibitor of the nuclear enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 and 2, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration and conversion from CEP-9722, CEP-8983 selectively binds to PARP 1 and 2, preventing repair of damaged DNA via base excision repair (BER). This agent enhances the accumulation of DNA strand breaks and promotes genomic instability and apoptosis. CEP-8983 may potentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents and reverse tumor cell chemo- and radioresistance.

Price and Availability

CEP-9722 is not in stock, may be available through custom synthesis. For cost-effective reason, minimum 1 gram order is requested. The product will be characterized by NMR, HPLC and MS analysis. Purity (HPLC) is usually >98%. CoA, QC data, MSDS will be provided when product is successfully made. The estimated lead time is 2-3 months. Please send email to sales@medkoo.com to inquire quote.

Technical Data

Additional Information

It was demonstrated that CEP-8983 sensitized carcinoma cells to the growth-inhibitory effects of temozolomide and/or SN38 increased the fraction of and/or lengthened duration of time tumor cells accumulated in chemotherapy-induced G(2)-M arrest and sensitized tumor cells to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. A granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit colony formation assay showed that coincubation of CEP-8983 with temozolomide or topotecan did not potentiate chemotherapy-associated myelotoxicity. CEP-9722 (136 mg/kg) administered with temozolomide (68 mg/kg for 5 days) or irinotecan (10 mg/kg for 5 days) inhibited significantly the growth of RG2 tumors (60%) or HT29 tumors (80%) compared with temozolomide or irinotecan monotherapy, respectively. In addition, CEP-9722 showed "stand alone" antitumor efficacy in these preclinical xenografts. In vivo biochemical efficacy studies showed that CEP-9722 attenuated PAR accumulation in glioma xenografts in a dose- and time-related manner. These data indicate that CEP-8983 and its prodrug are effective chemosensitizing agents when administered in combination with select chemotherapeutic agents against chemoresistant tumors.
