In Vitro

The selectivity of AZD-5991 is evaluated against pro-survival Bcl-2 family members using FRET assays. AZD-5991 is selective for Mcl-1 (IC₅₀ 0.72 nM, K_i=200 pM) vs. Bcl-2 (IC₅₀=20 μM, K_i=6.8 μM), Bcl-xL (IC₅₀=36 μM, K_i=18 μM), Bcl-w (IC₅₀=49 μM, K_i=25 μM), and Bfl-1 (IC₅₀=24 μM, K_i=12 μM). MOLP-8, MV4-11, and NCI-H23 cells are treated with AZD5991 (EC₅₀=0.033, 0.024, 0.19 μM, respectively).AZD5991 binds directly to Mcl-1 and induces rapid apoptosis in cancer cells, most notably myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia, by activating the Bak-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. AZD5991 reduces the levels of Mcl-1 protein in AZD5991-sensitive but not in AZD5991-resistant MM cell lines further supporting the notion that activation of caspases by AZD5991 reduces Mcl-1 protein levels in AZD5991-sensitive cell lines^[1].

In Vivo

A single intravenous (i.v.) dose of AZD5991 leads to a dose-dependent antitumor effect ranging from tumor growth inhibition (TGI) to tumor regression (TR). Ten days after treatment, AZD5991 shows 52% and 93% TGI (p<0.0001) at 10 and 30 mg/kg, respectively. At the same time point, AZD5991 at 60 mg/kg leads to 99% TR with no detectable tumors in 6 out of 7 mice, while complete TR is seen in 7 out of 7 mice in the 100 mg/kg dose group. AZD5991 also shows a dose-dependent duration of response with tumors in the 100 mg/kg group growing back later than those in the 60 mg/kg group. The magnitude of in vivo tumor efficacy is correlated with activation of caspase-3 in the tumor and concentration of AZD5991 in plasma. Treatment with AZD5991 was well tolerated at all dose levels with no significant body weight loss. A single dose of AZD5991 36 days after the first dose causes tumor regression in 4 out of 4 mice. In mice dosed with AZD5991 at 100 mg/kg on day 0 and day 1, tumors grow back later than those dosed with a single dose of AZD5991 at the same dose level^[1].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
