Zardaverine is a novel and selective PDE (Phosphodiesterase) 3/4 inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.5 uM and 0.8 uM respectively. Zardaverine exhibits potent and selective antitumor activity against hepatocellular carcinoma both in vitro and in vivo independently of phosphodiesterase inhibition. Zardaverine may be also useful for both, bronchorelaxation and reduction of inflammation in asthma therapy.
ln Vitro |
Human HCC cell proliferation is specifically inhibited in vitro by zardaverine (0-30 µM; 72 hours) [1]. While not connected to PDE3/4 inhibition, zardaverine exhibits specific anti-tumor activity that is intimately linked to the control of cell cycle-related proteins [1]. In HCC cells, zardaverine (0.1 µM; 24 hours) specifically induces G0/G1 phase arrest and dysregulates proteins linked to the cell cycle [1]. In Bel-7402 and SMMC-7721 cells, zardaverine (0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 1 µM/48h; 0.3 1 µM/24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h) causes apoptosis in a time- and concentration-dependent manner [1].

ln Vivo |
Mice bearing human Bel-7402 xenografts are unable to grow without the oral drug zardaverine (60, 200 mg/kg; once daily for 14 days) [1]. A rat model of airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness shows 100% blocking of LPS-induced increases in responsiveness when treated with zardaverine (8046.6 µg/kg; i.p.; single dosage) [2].

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.75 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.75 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
