    Product Description

    Bendamustine is a purine analog and DNA alkylating agent.1 It inhibits growth of SKW-3, Reh, CML-T1, BV-173, and HL-60 leukemia cell lines (IC50s = 27.0, 28.6, 15.6, 20.8, and 57.7 μM, respectively) but not MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines (IC50s = >200 and >200 μM, respectively).2 It kills B cell-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells derived from naïve and bendamustine-pretreated patients (LD50s = 6.8-8.3 and 3.8-4.9 mg/ml, respectively).3 Bendamustine (50 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth by 9% and 96% alone and in combination with ofatumumab, respectively, in a JVM-3 CLL mouse xenograft model.4 It activates the DNA-damage stress response, the base excision DNA repair pathway, and apoptosis, as well as inhibits mitotic checkpoints and induces mitotic catastrophe.1 Formulations containing bendamustine have been used to treat CLL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
