Didox (NSC-324360) suppresses LPS-induced mRNA levels of iNOS, IL-6, IL-1, TNF-α, NF-κβ (p65), and p38-α, after 24 h of treatment. Treatment with Didox also suppresses the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), IL-6, and IL-10. Using mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity as a measure of cytotoxicity, the effects of Didox on cellular respiration in RAW264.7 are examined over a range of concentrations for 24 h. Cells exposures to 200 μM and below Didox, with and without LPS, do not exhibit significant cellular toxicity. Didox (NSC-324360) is active against all human and murine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lines tested with IC50 values in the low micromolar range (mean IC50 37 μM [range 25.89-52.70 μM]).
