4,5-Dianilinophthalimide (DAPH-1) is an inhibitor of human Epithelial growth factor (IC50 0.3 microM). It was originally developed by scientists at CIBA-Geigy Limited as a potential anti tumor compound, although certain early in vivo studies have been retracted. DAPH-1 was found to be rapidly metabolized in the liver, however, a fluorinated analog (DAPH-2) was more stable in vivo. More recently DAPH-1 has found interest as an anti-amyloid compound. DAPH-1 shows specific efficacy against the yeast prion and may be a useful model for the development of other anti prion compounds.

Sample Use Guides

Female nude mice were transfected in the left flank with human A431 epithelial carcinoma, v-sis transfected BALB/c 3T3 cells, or T24 bladder carcinoma cells. DAPH-1 was administered as a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg, unfortunately, DAPH-1 is readily metabolized by the liver and no physiological effect could be observed. Anti tumor activity was observed using fluorinated analog DAPH-2, which is not rapidly metabolized.
Route of Administration: Oral
Prion expressing yeast cells ([PSI+] delta-PDR5) were treated with 0 - 100 microM DAPH-1 while growing in the mid-log phase. Cells were incubated in the treatment condition for 24 hours in liquid culture. The fraction of prion +/- cells was determined by plating on YPD media and by fluorescence microscopy. DAPH-1 demonstrated a dose dependent ability to cure prion positive yeast cells, which was 5 fold more effective than 1% DMSO.
