Application

Bisantrene (NSC 337766), and its derivatives are topoisomerase II poisons and DNA intercalators. It may be used as model compounds to study P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance (MDR1). Bisantrene may be used as a Rac1 inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bisantrene dihydrochloride is an antineoplastic agent, MDR1 substrate, DNA intercalator and topoisomerase II poison
Bisantrene dihydrochloride is an antineoplastic agent, MDR1 substrate, DNA intercalator, and topoisomerase II poison. Cancer cells that develop resistance to bisantrene tend to overexpress P-glycoprotein. Bisantrene can be used to select for P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance. The data suggest that bisantrene is an excellent substrate for P-glycoprotein.
Bisantrene is an anthracene bishydrazone derivative, which has antitumor activity.

In this work, we demonstrate a protective effect conferred by the human multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) to populations of the murine hematopoietic system against the toxic effects of bisantrene, a novel intercalating cytotoxic agent under investigation as an anticancer agent.

To identify structural determinants for the sequence-specific recognition of covalent topoisomerase II-DNA complexes by anti-cancer drugs, we investigated a number of bisantrene congeners, including a 10-azabioisoster, bearing one or two 4, 5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl hydrazone side chains at positions 1, 4, or

Twenty-nine patients with heavily pretreated acute leukemia in relapse were treated with bisantrene (maximum dose 120 mg/m2/day x 5) in a phase II study. Twenty-seven of the 29 patients were evaluable for response, receiving a total of 53 courses of

New bisantrene analogues were synthesized, bearing one or two 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl hydrazone side chains at positions 1,4 or 9 of the anthracene ring system. A 10-azabioisostere was also prepared. The position of substituents in structurally isomeric drugs modulates topoisomerase II poisoning

Bisantrene is an anthracene derivative which has demonstrated activity in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and in lymphoma. The present study was designed to assess the reinduction rate and toxicity of bisantrene (250 mg/m2/d x 5) associated with aracytine (100 mg/m2
