Omtriptolide (previously known as PG490-88 or F60008), an immunosuppressant that has been shown to be the safe and potent antitumor agent and it has been approved entry into Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of prostate cancer in the USA. In addition, the drug is participating in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of myeloid leukemia. Experiments on animals have shown omtriptolide was highly effective in the prevention of murine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The immunosuppressive effect of the drug was mediated by inhibition of alloreactive T cell expansion through interleukin-2 production. However, this study was discontinued. Recently published article has shown omtriptolide possesses the potential as a prophylactic agent to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Triptolide crosses the blood-brain barrier easily due to its small molecular size and lipophilic property. Triptolide inhibits amyloid-β production and protects neural cells by inhibiting CXCR2 activity.

Sample Use Guides

Minnelide will be administered at the dose of 0.67 mg/m2 as a 30 min infusion intravenously daily on days 1-21 of each cycle followed by a 7 day rest period (days 22-28)
Route of Administration: Intravenous
The A549/Taxol cells were treated with different concentrationsof Triptolide (0.03, 0.3 or 3 uM/l) for 2, 4, 6 and 12 h. On exposure to 3 uM Triptolide for 2, 4, 6 and 12 h, the extent of cell apoptosis observed markedly increased. The inhibitory effect reached a maximum with 3 uM Triptolide at the 12 h time point (cell apoptotic rate, 65.33%), whereas the apoptotic rate of the control group was 7.23% at 12 h.
