Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12056332 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7642409

PR-69 (Doranidazole) is a hypoxic radiosensitizer, and is a derivative of 2-nitroimidazole intended to reduce neurotoxicity due to its blood brain barrier (BBB) impermeability. Several studies have shown that doranidazole has a radiosensitizing effect under hypoxia, both in vitro and in vivo. Based on these studies, a phase III trial of doranidazole against advanced pancreatic cancer was performed; it was demonstrated that treatment with doranidazole following radiation significantly improved the tumor mass reduction rate and extended patient survival. Various results have suggested that doranidazole has promising potential for hypoxia-targeting chemoradiotherapy.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In the normal brain, doranidazole does not penetrate into intrabrain regions through the BBB via its hydrophilic residue.

Sample Use Guides

Mice: The radiation-induced growth delay of SCCVII tumors was significantly enhanced and the TCD(50/120) was reduced by a factor of 1.33 when 200 mg/kg PR-69 (Doranidazole) was injected, i.v., 20 min prior to tumor irradiation.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
With the addition of 5 mmol/L doranidazole (PR-69), the cell killing by 30 Gy irradiation under hypoxic conditions was significantly increased from 22.2% to 36.4% in five colorectal cancer cell lines: VoLo, HT-29, DLD-1, Colo 201, SW 620.
