Banoxantrone 2HCl (AQ4N), the dihydrochloride salt of Banoxantrone, is a hypoxia-activated and bioreductive prodrug that can be reduced under hypoxia (e.g. in hypoxic cells) to a stable, compound AQ4, which is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor with antitumor activity.

ln Vitro |
Banoxantrone (AQ4N) can be reduced to the stable DNA-affinic agent AQ4 in a hypoxic environment. Potent topoisomerase II inhibitor AQ4 can harm cells that are recruited into the cell cycle after radiation damages the tumor's well-oxygenated cells[1]. In cultures of 9L rat gliosarcoma and H460 human non-small-cell lung carcinoma cells, benoxantrone exhibits more than 8-fold higher cytotoxicity under hypoxia than normoxia, but not for 11 other human cancer cell lines. Banoxantrone chemosensitivity and DT-diaphorase protein levels have weak correlations across the panel of cancer cell lines, and DT-diaphorase inhibitors have no effect on banoxantrone chemosensitivity[2]. Banoxantrone is a bis-N-oxide that undergoes two consecutive two-electron reductions to produce AQ4, a tertiary amine that is highly cytotoxic to both aerobic and hypoxic cells. A stable, long-lasting complex that can inhibit topoisomerase II, damage DNA, and kill cells is produced when AQ4, but not AQ4N, intercalates in DNA with high affinity[3].

ln Vivo |
Banoxantrone (200 mg/kg) considerably amplifies the radiation-induced tumor growth delay. This happens when radiation is given in a multifraction regimen (5x3 Gy) as well as a single dose (12 Gy). A review of the best times to administer banoxantrone (AQ4N) reveals that there is a very long window of time during which the drug's maximum effects can be produced (drug given 4 days before to 6 h after radiation). These findings imply that benoxantrone has a great deal of promise as a bioreductive medication[1]. Tumor hypoxia that is more profound or prolonged than what is easily accomplished by vasodilation or antiangiogenic medication therapy is necessary for the activation of banoxantrone cytotoxicity in vivo[2]. Therefore, banoxantrone targets both oxygenated and hypoxic regions of tumors and may increase therapy effectiveness when added to standard chemoradiation protocols. The response of RT112 (bladder) and Calu-6 (lung) xenografts to cisplatin and radiation therapy is improved by a single dose of 60 mg/kg banoxantrone. In preclinical models, bainostantrone will boost the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy[3].

Enzyme Assay |
Tumors T50/80 that have not received treatment and have a geometric diameter (GMD) of 6.5–9.0 mm are removed and then mechanically broken up in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Filtration through a 40μm mesh screen is used to create single cell suspensions. After centrifugation, these are resuspended at a density of 106 cells/mL in Eagle's minimal essential medium (EMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Glass bottles with rubber seals, capacity 125 mL, are filled with cells (20 mL). In order to create well-oxygenated conditions, such as 95% air/5% carbon dioxide, or hypoxic conditions, such as 95% N2/5% CO2, these are gassed for two hours at 37°C. During the final ninety minutes of this duration, benoxintrone (AQ4N) (20μM) is injected via the sealed lid. Cells are resuspended in fresh medium after the drug has been removed. Aliquots (105 cells) are processed at different times after this procedure, ranging from 0 to 96 hours, for the purpose of analyzing DNA damage. Samples are also kept in the culture medium above for 24 hours at 37°C, 95% air/5% CO2 in order to assess the impact of keeping the removed tumor cells in culture. After the cells are harvested and put in glass bottles, the experiment described above is conducted. The cells grow in suspension. Every experiment is run twice, with the results combined[1].

Animal Protocol |
Mice: Tumor-bearing T50/80 mice are employed. When tumors reach a geometric diameter (GMD) of 6.5–9.0 mm, these experiments are conducted. One intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of benoxantrone (AQ4N) at a dose of 200 mg/kg is given. The medication is administered half an hour prior to a single 12 Gy dose of X-ray radiation (300 kVp Siemens Stabilipan at a dose rate of 2.56 Gy min-1). After treatment, tumors are removed at various intervals and put on ice. As mentioned above, single cell suspensions are made in ice-cold PBS. The cells are diluted in cold EMEM containing 10% FCS (1x106 cells/mL) after centrifugation. For the comet assay, an aliquot containing 100 μL of this suspension is utilized. Tumors removed at different times intervals from 0 to 120 hours after irradiation undergo this process. The findings from three different experiments are combined.
