Namitecan is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, with antitumor property.

Namitecan and cetuximab cooperate in inhibiting EGFR expression. Namitecan induces a dose-dependent decrease in EGFR expression in the different cell lines^[1]. ST1968 induces a comparable level of apoptosis in A431 and A431/TPT cells with IC₅₀ of 0.21 and 0.29 μM^[2].

Namitecan (10 mg/kg) in combination with cetuximab (1 mg/mouse) induces synergistic antitumor effects in SCC models as a function of EGFR gene copy number^[1]. ST1968 (25 mg/kg) causes acceptable body weight loss and no toxic deaths. ST1968 produces a 100% complete response rate in the mice bearing the A431 tumor, and retains a relevant activity in the topotecan-resistant tumor^[2].

The antiproliferative activity is evaluated after 72 hours of drug exposure by cell counting. Drug concentrations able to inhibit cell proliferation by 50% (IC₅₀) and 20% (IC₂₀) are calculated from dose-response curves.

To generate tumor xenografts, exponentially growing cells (A431 and A431/topotecan, 10⁷ cells/mouse; SiHa 2.5 × 10⁷ cells/mouse, Caski 10⁷ cells/mouse) are s.c. injected into the mice flanks. For antitumor activity studies, groups of four/five mice bearing tumor implanted in both flanks are used. Tumor fragments are implanted on day 0, and tumor growth is followed by biweekly measurements of tumor diameters with a Vernier caliper. Tumor volume (TV) is calculated according to the formula TV (mm³) = d² × D/2, in which d and D are the shortest and the longest diameter, respectively. Treatment starts 5 to 13 days after implant, when the tumors are just palpable, but established (TV = 80-90 mm³). Namitecan, irinotecan, and cetuximab are administered every fourth day for four times. Cetuximab is given 1 hour after each administration of the camptothecin.
