Notes: NUC-1031 is a prodrug form of the anticancer nucleoside analog gemcitabine (Item No. 11690).{43518,43517} NUC-1031 is more lipophilic than gemcitabine and enters cells through passive diffusion.{43518} It inhibits the growth of L1210, CEM, MP-2, and BxPC-3 cancer cells in vitro (IC50 = 35, 30, 60, and 40 nM, respectively).{43517} NUC-1031 (0.076 mmol/kg) reduces tumor growth in Mia-PaCa-2 and BxPC-3 mouse xenograft models, which are partially responsive and resistant to gemcitabine, respectively.{43519}
