6-[[2-(二甲基氨基)乙基]氨基]-3-羟基-7H-茚并[2,1-C]喹啉-7-酮二盐酸盐

TAS-103 is a dual inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I/II. TAS-103 (0.1-10 μM) is active on CCRF-CEM cells, with an IC ₅₀ value of 5 nM. TAS-103 (0.1 μM) significantly increases levels of topo IIα FITC immunofluorescence in individual CCRF-CEM cells. TAS-103 (0.01-1 μM) is highly cytotoxic to Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells, and Liposomal TAS-103 is almost as active as free TAS-103. TAS-103 inhibits the viability of HeLa cells, with an IC ₅₀ of 40 nM. TAS-103 (10 μM) disrupts signal recognition particle (SRP) complex formation, and induces destabilization of SRP14 and SRP19 and its eventual degradation.

TAS-103 (30 mg/kg, i.v.) causes significant tumor growth suppression in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells, without obvious body weight loss, and the liposomal TAS-103 is more active than free TAS-103.
