Delmitide (oral; 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg; daily) significantly reduced CPT-11induced diarrhea, mucosal inflammation, and mortality in mice by suppressing the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-a, IFN-y, and IL-12 in vivo[2].
Delmitide (oral; 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg; daily) generates an enhanced tumor response and prolongation of time to relapse without concomitant Gl toxicity in mice[2].
| Animal Model: | BALB/c mice (female, 9-10-week)[2] |
| Dosage: | 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg or 0.2 mL, 10 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Oral, daily |
| Result: | Reduced the incidence of diarrhea and attenuated CPT-11-associated GI toxicity and mortality in a dose-dependent manner.
Had protective effect against chemotherapy-induced GI side-effects and reduced CPT-11-induced overexpression of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-12 in vivo.
Preserved the intestinal mucosa morphology by maintaining villus and crypt structure and inhibited TNF-α-mediated apoptosis in the crypt compartment, thereby protecting intestinal mucosa integrity in mice.
Protected mice from CPT-11-induced GI toxicity and mortality and enhanced animal survival in tumor-bearing mice.
Significantly reduced the incidence and overall tumor burden in a spontaneously metastatic model.
