Biological Activity
IC50: 1.25 nM (RMG1), 1.16 nM (RMG2)[1]
PM01183 is a new synthetic tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid that is currently in phase I clinical development for the treatment of solid tumours. PM01183–DNA adducts in living cells give rise to double-strand breaks, triggering S-phase accumulation and apoptosis. The potent cytotoxic activity of PM01183 is ascertained in a 23-cell line panel with a mean GI50 value of 2.7 nM[2]. Lurbinectedin exhibits significant antitumor activity toward chemosensitive and chemoresistant human ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cells in vitro[1].

The DNA Minor Groove Binders Trabectedin and Lurbinectedin Are Potent Antitumor Agents in Human Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma. [Abstract]2025 Sep 18;26(18):9085. PMID: 41009648

Effect Lurbinectedin on the viability of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell lines. Cell viability of six human intrahepatic cholangiocarinoma (iCCA) cell lines (CCLP1, HUCCT1, KKU055, KKU156, KKU213, and SG231) exposed to 0-100 nM Lurbinectedin for 48 h was assessed by MTT assay. A summary of the IC50 of the conpound in the six cell lines is depicted next to the graph. Dashed horizontal lines indicate 50% cell viability.

Apoptosis was assessed in HUCCT1, CCLP1, KU055, KKU156, KKU213 and SG231 cell lines treated for 48 hours with trabectedin (TRB) and Lurbinectedin (LUR) at 1 nM and 5 nM concentrations. Cells treated with solvent (DMSO) served as controls.

Lurbinectedin (LUR) restrain the growth of HUCCT1 and KKU213 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells grown as 3D cultures (spheroids). HUCCT1- and KKU213-derived spheroids were treated with DMSO (vehicle) and increasing concentrations of trabectedin (TRB) and lurbinectedin (LUR; 0.25–2 nM; n = 3 wells per condition). Note the decrease in size and number of spheroids following the treatment with Lurbinectedin (LUR), as assessed by the optical microscope. Original magnification: 10×; scale bar: 100 µm.

Western blot analysis was applied to assess the levels of several effectors of DNA damage response and apoptosis pathways in HUCCT1, SG231, CCLP1, and KKU055 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) cell lines exposed to trabectedin (TRB) and Lurbinectedin (LUR) at 1 nM concentration. Cells were treated for 48 h, and Western blot analysis was conducted at this time point. Representative blots are shown.

Effect of trabectedin and Lurbinectedin (LUR) on the mitochondrial respiration of human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells. For the Seahorse XF Mito Stress Test, KKU055 cells were treated with 1 nM Lurbinectedin (LUR), or a matched DMSO concentration for 24 h. The Seahorse Mito Stress Test profile of normalized oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in LUR-treated KKU055 cells is shown. The results showed LUR administration significantly decreased most parameters (basal and compensatory glycolysis, and basal proton efflux rate). All OCR levels were background corrected and normalized to nuclei fluorescent staining. Dotted lines indicate the time point of compound injection.

Microscopic images demonstrate that treatment with trabectedin (TRB) and Lurbinectedin (LUR) (2.5-20 nM; 72 h) resulted in a reduction in the compact, well-organized structure of the organoids, evidenced by the loss of the typical cystic shape associated with cholangiocarcinoma organoids.

Protocol
The MTS assay is used to analyze the effects of each drug. Cells are plated in 96-well plates and treated with PM01183 (0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 nM) . After 48 hours’ incubation, the number of surviving cells is assessed by determining the A490nm of the dissolved formazan product after the addition of MTS for 1 hour. Cell viability is calculated as follows: Aexp group / Acontrol×100[1].

Mice: Mice are transplanted with fragments of OVAX1 and OVAX1R tumors, and when tumors reaches a homogeneous palpable size are randomly allocated into the treatment groups: i) Placebo; ii) Lurbinectedin (0.18 mg/kg); iii) NSC 119875 (3.5 mg/kg); and iv) Lurbinectedin plus NSC 119875 (0.18 + 3.5 mg/kg). Drugs are i.v. administered once per week for 3 consecutive weeks (days 0, 7, and 14). Seven days after the final dose (day 21), animals are sacrificed, their ovaries dissected out, and weighed. Representative fragments are either frozen in nitrogen or fixed and then processed for paraffin embedding[3].
