Description

Pimitespib (TAS-116) is an oral bioavailable, ATP-competitive, highly specific HSP90α/HSP90β inhibitor (Kis of 34.7 nM and 21.3 nM, respectively) without inhibiting other HSP90 family proteins such as GRP94[1]. Pimitespib demonstrates less ocular toxicity[2].

IC50 & Target[1]

HSP90α

34.7 nM (Ki)

HSP90β

21.3 nM (Ki)

In Vitro

Pimitespib binds not only to the conventional-binding pockets as existing Hsp-90 inhibitors, but also to a novel-binding pocket. Such a unique binding mode makes Pimitespib highly specific for Hsp-90α/β without inhibiting other Hsp-90 family proteins such as GRP94 in endoplasmic reticulum or TRAP-1 in mitochondria[3].
Pimitespib (0-5 μM, 48 hours) inhibits human retinal pigment epithelial ARPE-19 cell lines and NCI-H929 MM cells growth[2].
More significant degradation of p-C-Raf and p-MEK1/2, HSP90 client proteins and key RAS/RAF/MEK pathway regulators, is triggered by Pimitespib (0.125-1 μM, 24 hours) than 17-AAG in INA6 and NCI-H929 MM cells[2].

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Human retinal pigment epithelial ARPE-19 cell lines and NCI-H929 MM cells
Concentration: 0-5 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Inhibited NCI-H929 MM cells growth with an IC50 of 0.35 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: MM cell lines INA6 and NCI-H929 cells
Concentration: 0.125-1 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Targeted potently HSP90 client proteins including C-Raf and MEK1/2; as well as inhibited upregulation of HSP27 and overcomes 17-AAG resistance mechanisms.
In Vivo

Pimitespib (12.0 mg/kg, p.o., 14 days) shows antitumor activity without inducing eye injury in rats. Pimitespib is distributed less in retina than in plasma in rats; consequently, Pimitespib does not produce any detectable photoreceptor injury[1].
Pimitespib triggers enhanced in vivo anti-MM activities, both alone and in combination with PS-341 (BTZ), with a favorable safety profile. Mice treated with Pimitespib (10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, orally, 38 days), BTZ, or Pimitespib plus BTZ show significantly enhance growth inhibition versus the vehicle control group. Median overall survival of treated animals (Pimitespib, orally, 10 mg/kg=33 days, 15 mg/kg=37 days, BTZ=36 days, and the combination=56.5 days) is significantly longer than vehicle control[2].
The favorable pharmacokinetic profile of Pimitespib is reflected in its dose-dependent antitumor activity; the T/C (tumor volume of Pimitespib-treated mice vs. vehicle-treated mice) is 47%, 21%, and 9% for doses of 3.6 mg/kg, 7.1 mg/kg, and 14.0 mg/kg, respectively. Pimitespib is orally absorbed and has a bioavailability of almost 100% in mice, and 69.0% in rats. Pimitespib has moderate terminal elimination half-life (t1/2=8.2 h, 2.5 h, 4.4 h and 2.2 h for mouse (3.6 mg/kg, p.o.), mouse (7.1 mg/kg, p.o.), mouse (14.0 mg/kg, p.o.), rat (4 mg/kg, p.o.)). Pimitespib is more rapidly eliminated from retina (t1/2=3.4 hours) than the other HSP90 inhibitors (t1/2=7.1-19.1 hours)[1].

Dosage: 12.0 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; daily; two weeks
Result: Led to tumor shrinkage. Showed antitumor activity without inducing eye injury in rats and did not cause ocular toxicity at the effective dose in the NCI-H1975 rat xenograft model.

Dosage: 3.0 mg/kg for dogs, 4.0 mg/kg for rats, 3.6, 7.1 and 14.0 mg/kg for mice

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.58 mM); Clear solution

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
