Description：Mitoxantrone is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor. Mitoxantrone also inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) activity with an IC50 of 8.5 μM. Mitoxantrone induces apoptosis of B-CLL (B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) cells. Mitoxantrone shows antitumor activity. Mitoxantrone also has anti-orthopoxvirus activity with EC50s of 0.25 μM and and 0.8 μM for cowpox and monkeypox, respectively.

In Vitro：Mitoxantrone inhibits PKC in a competitive manner with respect to histone H1, and its Ki value is 6.3 μM and in a non-competitive manner with respect to phosphatidylserine and ATP[1]. Mitoxantrone (0.5 μg/mL, 48 h) induces a decrease in B-CLL cells. Mitoxantrone induces DNA fragmentation and the proteolytic cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), demonstrating that the cytotoxic effect of Mitoxantrone is due to induction of apoptosis[2]. Mitoxantrone shows cytotoxicity to human breast carcinoma cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 with IC50 values of 18 and 196 nM, respectively[3].

In Vivo：Mitoxantrone (IP, 0-3.2 mg/kg/day) produces a statistically significant number of 60-day survivors at 1.6 mg/kg in mice with IP implanted L1210 leukemia[4]. Mitoxantrone (IV, 0-3.2 mg/kg/day) shows effective antitumor activities and produces a 60% ILS (increase in lifespan) at 3.2 mg/kg in SC implanted Lewis lung carcinoma[4].

Animal Administration：Mice: Mitoxantrone is tested for antitumor activity against experimental tumors in mice and the results are compared with those of seven antitumor antibiotics. The drugs are given IP or IV, in general on days 1, 5, and 9 following tumor inoculation. Mitoxantrone is given IP at the optimal dose (1.6 mg/kg/day; as a free base)[4].

Cell Assay：The human breast carcinoma cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 are seeded in standard 96-well plates. One day after seeding, the culture medium is changed and replaced by medium containing different concentration of Mitoxantrone (10-5 to 5 μM) with or without DHA (30 μM) during 7 days. Viability of cells are measured as a whole by the tetrazolium salt assay[3].
