Cayman Gemcitabine


Product Description
Gemcitabine is an active metabolite of the gemcitabine prodrugs NUC-1031 (Item No. 9003247) and gemcitabine elaidate (Item No. 28303) and a prodrug form of gemcitabine di- and triphosphates.1,2,3 Gemcitabine is phosphorylated by intracellular kinases to the intermediate metabolite gemcitabine monophosphate (Item No. 31726) and the active di- and triphosphate forms.3 It is cytotoxic to HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma and A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (IC50s = 5.2 and 16 nM, respectively) and inhibits tumor growth in various breast, colon, lung, and pancreatic cancer mouse xenograft models.4 Gemcitabine (12 mg/kg) sensitizes tumors to antibodies targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), decreases the number of tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs), and increases survival in an MC-38 syngeneic mouse model of colon carcinoma.5 Formulations containing gemcitabine have been used in the treatment of cancer.
