Plerixafor (AMD3100)
Plerixafor (AMD3100) is a small-molecule antagonist of CXCR4 and CXCL12-mediated chemotaxis with IC50 of 44 nM and 5.7 nM, respectively [1].
CXCR4 and SDF-1 are key factors in regulating cancer cell invasion and metastasis, and plerixafor can prevent the binding of SDF-1 to CXCR4 for inhibiting cancer metastasis [2]. Plerixafor interfered with CXCL12/CXCR4 mediated retention of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, and resulted in their mobilization to the blood [3]. Plerixafor amplified the release of circulating neutrophils from the oriented area in the lung, while simultaneously preventing neutrophil returned to the bone marrow [4]. Three adults with WHIM syndrome were subcutaneously injected 0.01 to 0.02 mg/kg plerixafor twice daily for 6 months, circulating leukocytes were constantly increased, and associated with fewer infections [5].

Receptor binding assays |
For the competition binding studies against CXCR4, a concentration range of Plerixafor was incubated for 3 hours at 4°C in binding buffer (PBS containing 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.25% BSA, pH 7.4) with 5 × 105 CCRF-CEM cells and 100 pM 125I-SDF-1α (2200 Ci/mmol) in Milipore DuraporeTM filter plates. Unbound 125I-SDF-1α was removed by washing with cold 50 mM HEPES, 0.5 M NaCl pH 7.4. The competition binding assay against BLT1 was performed on membranes from CHO-S cells expressing recombinant BLT1. The membranes were prepared by mechanical cell lysis followed by high speed centrifugation, re-suspended in 50 mm HEPES, 5 mM MgCl2 buffer and flash frozen. The membrane preparation was incubated with Plerixafor for 1 hour at room temperature in an assay mixture containing 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM CaCl2, 4 nM LTB4 mixed with 1 nM 3H-LTB4 (195.0 Ci/mmol) and 8 μg membrane. The unbound 3H-LTB4 is separated by filtration on Millipore Type GF-C filter plates. |

Applications |
CXCR4 and SDF-1 were key factors in regulating cancer cell invasion and metastasis, and Plerixafor effectively prevented the binding of SDF-1 to CXCR4, inhibiting cancer metastasis. |

Animal models |
C57BL/6 mice with segmental bone defect |
Dosage form |
5 mg/kg; i.p. |
Applications |
Cohorts of mice were administered with PBS, IGF1, PDGF, SCF or VEGF for five consecutive days and Plerixafor on the 5th day. The number and size of the colonies were highest in mice injected with IGF1 and Plerixafor than those treated with PDGF, SCF or VEGF plus Plerixafor. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
