Product Description

Marimastat (formerly aslo known as BB2516; BB-2516; TA2516; TA-2516) is a broad-spectrum, oral bioactive inhibitor of matrix metalloprotease (MMP) that may have anticancer effects. With IC50s of 3 nM, 5 nM, 6 nM, 9 nM, and 13 nM, respectively, it inhibits MMP-9/2/14/7. Clinical trials on marimastat were investigated, but they were abandoned because of poor results.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MMP-3 (IC50 = 3 nM); MMP-1 (IC50 = 5 nM); MMP-2 (IC50 = 6 nM); MMP-14 (IC50 = 9 nM); MMP-7 (IC50 = 13 nM)
ln Vitro
Marimastat (100 nM) significantly reduces MMP14 expression in GBM39, GBM43, U251, and U87 tumor cells. Marimastat specifically prevents glioma cell growth while having no effect on healthy human astrocytes (NHA).[3]
Marimastat early down-regulates Notch target gene expression, including Hes1 and Hes5.[4]
ln Vivo
Marimastat (150 mg/kg/day, p.o.) delivered by an osmotic pump dramatically reduces cervical lymph node metastasis and MMP-2 activation in an orthotopic oral squamous cell carcinoma implantation model. Additionally, the marimastat group exhibits a significantly higher survival rate than the control group.[5] Marimastat inhibits the cystic expansion of PCK cholangiocytes and decreases the MMP hyperactivity of polycystic human and rat cholangiocytes. Hepatic cystogenesis and fibrosis are inhibited in 8-week-old PCK rats when marimastat is administered chronically.[6]
Enzyme Assay
For one hour at 37°C, recombinant human MMP2 is activated with 1 mM 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate. The cleavage rates of 1-methoxycoumarin-4-yl, the quenched fluorescent MMP substrate, were measured. Gly-Leu-acetyl-Pro-Leu-[3-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-L-2,3-diaminoproprionyl] At 37°C, measurements of Ala-Arg-NH2 are made in 96-well fluorimetry plates. In the presence of increasing inhibitor concentrations, 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, and 0.05% Brij 35 were tested with 320 nm excitation and 405 nm emission filters. GraphPad Prism 5.0 software is used for IC50 calculations and curve fitting.
Cell Assay
Marimastat attenuates tumor invasion significantly in co-cultures of tumor spheroids derived from human glioma cell lines U251 and GaMG with RBA at concentrations of 10 μM. Marimastat (10 μM) completely inhibits cell growth at 50 μM over six days and significantly reduces cell proliferation by 54%. Furthermore, marimastat (10 μM) 65% inhibits the growth of U251 spheroid.
Animal Protocol
Using a trochar needle, 2 mm2 of established SCC-1 tissue is subcutaneously injected into the flanks of three-month-old female naked mice. The tumors are treated when they reach a diameter of 5–6 mm. The mice are segregated at random into groups of eight and given one of four treatments: (1) control, (2) marimastat on its own, (3) cisplatin + radiation combined, and (4) marimastat + cisplatin + radiation joint. An osmotic pump containing dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is given to each animal for a period of 14 days, serving as a control for the vehicle and pump. Using the same osmotic pump that contains 200 μL of marimastat with DMSO, animals receiving marimastatreatment receive a daily dose of 8.7 mg/kg ten days after treatment starts. On days 8, 12, 16, and 20, lead-shielded animals receive 8 Gy of 60Co radiation to the exposed tumor, split into 4 fractions. Because 7.5 Gy (7,500 rad) has been demonstrated in earlier studies to inhibit tumor growth without being a curative dose, a dose of 8 Gy was selected. Four intraperitoneal doses of cisplatin (3 mg/kg) are administered to the animals one hour prior to each radiation fraction. For 32 days, tumors are measured every two weeks. Using mouse weight, potential treatment toxicity is tracked. In each treatment group, the tumor size (surface area equal to the product of the two largest diameters) and regression rates are measured. Tumors are removed for immunohistochemistry after 32 days. Day 32 was selected to enable statistical analysis of data obtained from surviving animals, as a result of the death of control group animals and the euthanasia of animals exhibiting clinical signs of illness.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
