Lonafarnib (formerly SCH66336; SCH-66336; Sarasar; Zokinvy), a tricyclic derivative of carboxamide, is a novel, orally bioavailable and highly potent FPTase (farnesyl protein transferase) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits H-ras, K-ras-4B and N-ras with IC50 of 1.9 nM, 5.2 nM and 2.8 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. Lonafarnib has been approved in 2020 to reduce the risk of death due to Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and for the treatment of certain processing-deficient progeroid laminopathies. It acts by binding to and inhibiting farnesyl transferase enzyme, which is involved in the post-translational modification and activation of Ras proteins. Ras proteins participate in numerous signalling pathways (proliferation, cytoskeletal organization), and play an important role in oncogenesis. Mutated ras proteins have been found in a wide range of human cancers.
ln Vitro |
Lonafarnib (Sch66336) suppresses the transformed growth properties of human tumor cell lines carrying activated Ki-Ras proteins and potently inhibits Ha-Ras processing in whole cells[1]. When compared to the control treatment, all treatment groups that contained Lonafarnib (10 μM) had a noticeably greater amount of unfarnesylated H-Ras (116–137%)[2].

ln Vivo |
Lonafarnib (Sch66336) exhibits good oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic characteristics in the mouse, rat, and monkey systems. Lonafarnib exhibits strong oral efficacy in a variety of human tumor xenograft models in the nude mouse, including tumors originating from the colon, lung, pancreatic, prostate, and urinary bladder[1]. In comparison to vehicle-treated control mice (T/C of 0.67), lionafarnib alone (80 mg/kg by oral gavage, once day) had a limited capacity to suppress orthotopic U87 tumors. The intended outcome of XRT/Tem (2.5 Gy/day for 2 days; 5 mg/kg by oral gavage 90 min before XRT) is a moderate in vivo suppression of tumor growth (T/C of 0.42). The strongest growth reduction (T/C of 0.02) and significant superiority over XRT/Tem (p<0.04) is achieved by concurrent administration of Lonafarnib/XRT/Tem (Lonafarnib 80 mg/kg by oral gavage, once daily, XRT 2.5 Gy/day for 2 days, and Tem 5 mg/kg by oral gavage 90 minutes prior to XRT). Most animals show a decrease in tumor volume (p<0.05) after 2 weeks and the effect persists after 4 weeks (p<0.05)[2].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.91 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.91 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.91 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
