Acivicin is a modified amino acid and structural analog of glutamine, that irreversibly inhibits glutamine-dependent amidotransferases involved in nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis. Acivicin is a potent antitumor agent that induces apoptosis in human lymphoblastoid cells. Phase I dose-escalating studies conducted in cancer patients administered acivicin showed reversible, dose-limiting CNS toxicity, characterized by lethargy, confusion and decreased mental status.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Patients were treated with acivicin on a 72-h continuous infusion schedule at doses ranging from 25 to 60 mg/m2/day every 3 weeks.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

Colorimetric assay using MTT labeling reagent was separately performed with MCF-7 and OAW-42 cells to determine cell proliferation in presence of glutaminase and acivicin in vitro. Actively growing cells were seeded in three 96-well microtiter plates at a density of 1x10^4 cells/well. Triplicate wells were treated with the following: (1) culture medium only (control), (2) Acivicin 5mkM, (3) Acivicin 10mkM, (4) Acivicin 15mkM. Incubation times for the three plates was 24. 48 and 72 hr respectively after which cell proliferation assay (MTT assay) was performed using Cell Proliferation Kit I. Boehringer Mannheim, Germany (MTT, 1465007) according to manufacftirer’s instructions.
