Amsacrine hydrochloride (m-AMSA hydrochloride; acridinyl anisidide hydrochloride) is an inhibitor of topoisomerase II, and acts as an antineoplastic agent which can intercalates into the DNA of tumor cells.

Solid

Amsacrine (mAMSA) blocks HERG currents in HEK 293 cells and Xenopus oocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC₅₀ values of 209.4 nM and 2.0 μM, respectively. Amsacrine (mAMSA) causes a negative shift in the voltage dependence of both activation (?7.6 mV) and inactivation (?7.6 mV). HERG current block by Amsacrine (mAMSA) is not frequency dependent. 体外研究 studies of normal human lymphocytes with various concentrations of Amsacrine (mAMSA), show both increased levels of chromosomal aberrations, ranging from 8% to 100%, and increase SCEs, ranging from 1.5 times the normal at the lowest concentration studied (0.005 μg/mL) to 12 times the normal (0.25 μg/mL). Amsacrine (mAMSA)-induced apoptosis of U937 cells is characterized by caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, increased intracellular Ca concentration, mitochondrial depolarization, and MCL1 down-regulation. Amsacrine induces MCL1 down-regulation by decreasing its stability. Further, amsacrine-treated U937 cells show AKT degradation and Ca-mediated ERK inactivation.

Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In animals treated with different doses of amsacrine (0.5-12 mg/kg), the frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes increase significantly after treatment with 9 and 12 mg/kg. Furthermore, the present study demonstrates for the first time that Amsacrine (mAMSA) has high incidences of clastogenicity and low incidences of aneugenicity whereas nocodazole has high incidences of aneugenicity and low incidences of clastogenicity during mitotic phases in vivo.
