Cell lines

Y79, Weri-Rb1, and Y79-LUC human RB cell lines, and Rb143 primary human RB cells

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.

Reaction Conditions

Dependent on situations

Applications

TSA, SAHA, and MS-275 dose dependently reduced RB cell survival. TSA and MS-275 showed additive growth-inhibitory effects in combination with carboplatin, etoposide, or vincristine. TSA and MS-275 increased caspase-3/7 activity. MS-275 increased Annexin V membrane translocation and induced G1arrest. Cytotoxicity of MS-275 was dependent on increased reactive oxygen species levels and was reversed by antioxidant pretreatment.

Animal models

LHh-Tag transgenic murine model and a rat Y79-LUC ocular xenograft model

Dosage form

LHh-Tag mice were treated every other day for 21 d with 20 mg/kg MS-275; Y79-LUC ocular xenografts mice were treated every other day for 13 d with 20 mg/kg MS-275.

Applications

Intraocular administration of 1μl of 10 μM MS-275 did not alter ocular tissue morphology. Increased acetyl-histone levels confirmed MS-275 delivery to retinal tissue after systemic administration. MS-275 significantly reduced tumor burden in both mouse and rat models of RB.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.

Target

Patients with solid tumours.

Dosage form

Patients with advanced solid tumours were treated with entinostat orally once weekly and with CRA orally twice daily for 3 weeks in every 4 weeks. The starting dose for entinostat was 4 mg/m2 with a fixed dose of CRA at 1 mg/kg per day. Entinostat dose was escalated by 1 mg/m2 increments.

Applications

A total of 19 patients were enrolled. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was exceeded at the entinostat 5 mg/m2 dose level (G3 hyponatremia, neutropenia, and anaemia). Fatigue (G1 or G2) was a common side effect. Entinostat exhibited substantial variability in clearance (147%) and exposure. The combination of entinostat with CRA was reasonably well tolerated. The recommended phase II doses are entinostat 4 mg/m2 once weekly and CRA 1 mg/kg per day. Although no tumour responses were seen, further evaluation of this combination is warranted.
