5F-DF-203-L-LYSINAMIDE (Phortress) is an experimental antitumor agent with potent and selective activity against human-derived carcinomas of breast, ovarian and renal origin. The mechanism of action of Phortress is distinct from all classes of chemotherapeutic agents currently in the clinic, and involves metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 to electrophilic species, which generate DNA adducts in sensitive tumors only. Phortress is in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumours. The compound was co-developed by Pharminox, University of Nottingham and Cancer Research UK.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

50 patients were treated with 145 cycles of 5F-DF-203-L-LYSINAMIDE (Phortress) over a dose range of 3-50mg/m2. The first 6 patients were treated on d1,8 Q4weeks, 2 patients having DLTs. The protocol was amended to d1 q3weekly dosing, and escalated from 3 to 50 mg/m2 over 10 cohorts.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

5F-DF-203-L-LYSINAMIDE caused a concentration-dependent cytokine response in precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) model. Exposure to 25uM 5F-DF-203-L-LYSINAMIDE modestly elevated TNF-α within 24h, with average levels of TNF-α in PCLS reaching 25 pg/mg, just above assay LLOD. Exposure to 25uM 5F-DF-203-L-LYSINAMIDE for 72h increased tissue levels of IL-β, IL-5, and CINC. Exposure to 50 and 100uM caused significant increases in PCLS content for all six cytokines analyzed.
