Activity:
A-1331852 is an orally available BCL-XL selective inhibitor with a Ki of less than 10 pM.
IC50 & Target: Ki: less than 10 pM (BCL-XL)[1]
In Vitro: A-1331852 selectively disrupts BCL-XL–BIM complexes and induces the hallmarks of apoptosis in BCL-XL–dependent Molt-4 cells with IC50s in the low nanomolar range but does not affect MEF cells lacking BAK or BAX. In CellTiter-Glo cell viability assay, A-1331852 inhibits NCI-H847, NCI-H1417, SET-2, HEL, OCI-M2 with EC50 values of 3, 7, 80, 120 and 100 nM[1].
In Vivo: A-1331852 demonstrates antitumor efficacy in the Molt-4 xenograft model, inducing tumor regressions as a single agent. Additionally, A-1331852 combines with venetoclax to recapitulate the efficacy of navitoclax in the NCI-H1963.FP5 xenograft model of SCLC. A-1331852 significantly inhibits tumor growth in seven subcutaneous xenograft models of solid tumors, including breast cancer, NSCLC, and ovarian cancer[1].
Protocol:
Cell Assay: [1]SCLC and AML cell lines are incubated with increasing concentrations of navitoclax, venetoclax, or A-1155463 for 48 hours before assessing cell viability. Cell killing EC
50 values are calculated
[1].
Animal Administration: [1]Mouse: The growth inhibition of established tumors in SCID-bg mice is studied. A-1331852 is administered orally daily for 14 days at 25 mg/kg and docetaxel is administered intravenously at 7.5 mg/kg. The change of tumor volume is monitored daily
