In Vitro | Palifermin (0-100 ng/mL; 48 h) stimulates the growth of TE-8, TE-11 cells[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: TE-1, TE-8, TE-11 cells Concentration: 0, 1, 10 100 ng/mL Incubation Time: 48 h Result: Increased the proliferation for TE-8, TE-11 cells and did not stimulate the growth of TE-1 cells. |
In Vivo | Palifermin (10 mg/kg for single dose or 3 mg/kg for 3 times; daily for 3 days) reduces diarrhea and increases survival following Irinotecan treatment in tumor-bearing DA rats[2]. Palifermin (5 mg/kg; s.c.) shows effectiveness on oral mucositis induced by fractionated irradiation[3]. Animal Model: DA rats[2] Dosage: 10 mg/kg for single dose or 3 mg/kg for 3 times Administration: Daily for 3 days prior to chemotherapy treatment Result: Reduced diarrhea and increased survival following Irinotecan treatment. Animal Model: Mouse with 5*3 Gy/week irradiation (tongue model)[3] Dosage: 5 mg/kg Administration: S.c; at -3, +4, +11 days or +4, +11, +18 days or -3, +4, +11, +18 days Result: Showed effectiveness on oral mucositis (mouse) induced by fractionated irradiation. |
