SN 38

SN 38 is the active metabolite of the chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan, which is used to treat various types of cancer.
It is a topoisomerase I inhibitor that induces double-strand breaks in DNA, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
SN 38 has a higher potency than irinotecan and is associated with both anti-tumor effects and dose-limiting toxicities.
Optimizing SN 38 research using AI-driven protocol comparison tools, such as PubCompare.ai, can help researchers easily identify the best protocols from literature, preprints, and patents, and enhance reproducibility through side-by-side analysis.
This AI-powered approach can streamline the SN 38 research journey and accelerate discoveries in this important area of cancer therapeutics.

The effects of AB-PINACA on the UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 activities were measured in ultrapooled human liver microsomes [18 (link)]. Human liver microsomal mixture (100 μL) containing 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4), ultrapooled human liver microsomes (0.2 mg/mL), 5 mM UDPGA, alamethicin (25 μg/mL), 10 mM MgCl2, AB-PINACA (0.1–100 μM), and two sets of a cocktail of six UGT probes (set A: 2 μM chenodeoxycholic acid, 0.5 μM SN-38, and 0.5 μM trifluoperazine; set B: 1 μM N-acetylserotonin, 0.2 μM mycophenolic acid, and 1 μM naloxone). The incubation was continued for 60 min at 37 °C in a shaking water bath after addition of UDPGA, and the reactions were terminated by adding 50 μL of ice-cold propofol glucuronide and meloxicam in acetonitrile (ISs). After centrifugation, aliquots from supernatant from set A and set B (50 μL each) were mixed and 5 μL of the mixed supernatants were analyzed by SRM mode of LC-MS/MS as described in our previous report [19 (link)] and supplementary Table S1 and Figure S2. The linear ranges were 1–300 pmol for N-acetylserotonin β-d-glucuronide, chenodeoxycholic acid 24-acyl-β-glucuronide, mycophenolic acid glucuronide, naloxone 3-β-d-glucuronide, and SN-38 glucuronide, and 4–1200 pmol for trifluoperazine glucuronide.

To extract irinotecan, SN-38, and SN38G from the plasma samples, 100 μL of the plasma sample was mixed with 200 µL of acetonitrile for 3 min by using a multitube vortexer to extract analytes. After 6000-rpm centrifugation for 10 min at 4 °C, 0.1 mL of the supernatant was transferred to another 1.5-mL microtube and stored at 4 °C (analyte A). Subsequently, to collect rapamycin, 200 μL of the extracted solution (methanol/0.1 M zinc sulfate solution = 7/3) was added to 100 µL of the blood sample and vortexed for 1 min. The mixture was centrifuged at 6000 rpm at 4 °C for 10 min, and 100 μL of the supernatant was mixed with analyte A and vortexed for 10 s (analyte B). Subsequently, 10 μL of camptothecin (1 µg/mL) and 10 μL of ascomycin (3 µg/mL) were added to analyte B and then diluted with the mobile phase and mixed thoroughly. The final sample solution was injected into the UPLC/MS/MS system for analysis.

The therapeutic index is a quantitative measurement of the relative safety of a drug. It was calculated per treatment, as the ratio of the highest exposure dose that produces the desired antitumor response for a maximum tolerated toxicity (i.e., the MTD) to the lowest dose that produces an effective antitumor response.
To evaluate therapeutic index, mice were assessed for BWL, TV, DNA damage within tumor cells, tumor regression, plasma and tumor CPT-11 and SN-38 levels (tumor CPT-11 data not shown), and toxicity within the jejunum and bone marrow.
