Simmitecan hydrochloride
Simmitecan hydrochloride is a potent topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitor, which is a 9-substituted lipophilic camptothecin (Camptothecin (HY-16560)) derivative. Simmitecan hydrochloride blocks DNA replication and transcription, thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of TOP1. Simmitecan hydrochloride can be used for research on cancers such as liver cancer.

In Vivo
Simmitecan (15 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single administration; 8 h) hydrochloride exhibits extensive distribution in tissues including tumors and substantial conversion into its active metabolite L-2-Z in nude mouse xenograft models bearing the human hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC-7721 cell line[1].

-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male and female, 250-300 g)[1]
-
Dosage:3.75 mg/kg; 7.5 mg/kg; 15 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.v.; single dose; 48 h
-
Result:Was rapidly biotransformed into its active metabolite L-2-Z in vivo and extensively distributed in most tissues (with the highest concentrations observed in the pancreas, kidneys, and liver).
Was predominantly eliminated via biliary excretion, and metabolism was also a major elimination route for the intact drug after iv administration.

Animal Model:Nude (male and female, 18-20 g, xenograft model of human hepatic cancer SMMC-7721 cells)[1]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.v.; single dose; samples harvested at 0.25, 1, 2, 4, 8 h
-
Result:Simmitecan and its active metabolite L-2-Z rapidly distributed to tissues, reaching peak concentrations 15 minutes after dosing.
