BMS-777607

Cell lines

CCA cell lines HuCCT1, KKU-100

Preparation Method

The HuCCT1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium. The KKU-100 cells were cultured in DMEM. All the cells were supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 100 μg/ml penicillin, and 2 mM L glutamine in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO₂ at 37˚C.

Reaction Conditions

Clonogenic assays were used to measure the growth of the HuCCT1 and KKU-100 cell lines, in the presence of varying concentrations of BMS 777607(1/3/5/10 μM).

Applications

BMS-777607 showed a concentration-dependent antiproliferative effect on both the HuCCT1 and KKU-100 cell lines. Moreover, in HuCCT1 and KKU-100 cell lines, IC₅₀ values after treatment with BMS-777607 for 6 days were 11.4 and 5.9 μM, respectively. In addition, the expression of phospho-RON was decreased in both HuCCT1 and KKU-100 cell lines after treatment with BMS-777607.

Animal models

adult male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (310±14 g)

Preparation Method

The rats were administered 300 mg/l thioacetamide (TAA) via drinking water daily for up to 20 weeks. The gemcitabine/Oxaliplat -in treatment group received gemcitabine [50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection(i.p.)] and oxaliplatin (2 mg/kg, i.p.) once every 2 weeks over a 4-week period starting at the 21st week. The BMS-777607 treatment group received BMS-777607 [30 mg/kg, per os (p.o.)] 5 days/week starting at the 21st week. The control group rats received i.p. injections of PBS following the same schedule.

Dosage form

30 mg/kg, per os (p.o.)

Applications

BMS-777607 could significantly suppress the in vivo growth of CCA tumors in animal model.
