NEO212
NEO212 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable conjugate of Temozolomide (TMZ) (HY-17364) and Perillyl Alcohol (POH) (HY-N7000), with potent anticancer activity. NEO212 overcomes classical TMZ resistance and DNA alkylation by depleting MGMT. By inhibiting the FAK/Src signaling pathway, NEO212 reduces the production of MMP2 and MMP9, induces mesenchymal-epithelial transition, and inhibits the migration, invasion and tumor progression of glioma stem cells. NEO212 disrupts autophagy flux to enhance mitochondrial apoptosis; it induces differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells into macrophages and proliferation arrest.

Descripciòn
In Vitro
NEO212 (5-50 μM; 24 h) reversibly inhibits the migration of mesenchymal USC02 glioma stem cells at non-cytotoxic doses. Its migration inhibitory activity remains stable after 24 h and is independent of its short-acting cytotoxic DNA alkylating effect[1].
NEO212 (15 μM; 16 h) significantly reduces the invasive capacity of mesenchymal USC02 glioma stem cells and freshly isolated patient-derived glioma cells[1].
NEO212 (3-15 μM) reduces the expression levels of invasion-related proteins MMP2 and MMP9 in mesenchymal USC02 and proneural USC04 glioma stem cells[1].
NEO212 (3-15 μM) selectively blocks the activation of the FAK/Src signaling pathway and its downstream kinases in mesenchymal USC02 and proneural USC04 glioma stem cells, and its mechanism of action differs from the non-specific protein synthesis inhibitory effect of TMZ[1].
NEO212 (3-15 μM) reverses the EMT phenotype of mesenchymal USC02 glioma stem cells by regulating key EMT-related genes, and promotes the transition of neuronal progenitor-like USC04 glioma stem cells toward epithelial-like features[1].
NEO212 (25-300 μM; 48 h) inhibits the viability of human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780, SK-O-V3 and OVCAR-3 in a dose-dependent manner, and exhibits stronger efficacy than TMZ, POH, or their combination[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) potently inhibits colony formation of human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780, SK-O-V3 and OVCAR-3, and exhibits greater efficacy than TMZ, POH, or their combination[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in A2780, SK-O-V3 and OVCAR-3 human ovarian cancer cells[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) induces robust DNA damage in human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SK-O-V3, which is evidenced by increased phosphorylation levels of ATM, CHEK1, CHEK2 and H2AFX[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) primarily induces apoptosis in A2780, SK-O-V3 and OVCAR-3 human ovarian cancer cells via a caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway, with a minor caspase-independent component[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) induces mitochondrial fission and morphological damage in A2780 and SK-O-V3 human ovarian cancer cells, which is characterized by decreased aspect ratio of mitochondria and deformation of internal matrix[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) induces mitochondrial dysfunction in human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SK-O-V3, which is characterized by a significant decrease in mitochondrial transmembrane potential[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) induces autophagosome accumulation in human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SK-O-V3, but does not promote excessive autophagic degradation[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) blocks autophagic flux in A2780 and SK-O-V3 human ovarian cancer cells by impairing lysosomal function and reducing autophagosome-lysosome fusion[2].
NEO212 (100 μM; 48 h) inhibits the nuclear translocation of TFEB in human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and SK-O-V3 by upregulating the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK, which in turn impairs lysosomal function[2].
NEO212 (1-100 μM; 4-5 days) potently reduces the viability of canine CLBL1 cells, canine CLL1390 cells, human HL60 cells, human THP1 cells, human Raji cells and human U937 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 1.7 to 42 μM; moreover, combined treatment with O6BG enhances its cytotoxicity against MGMT-highly expressing CLL1390 cells[3].
NEO212 (1-70 μM; 3-7 days) induces apoptosis in canine CLBL1 cells, canine CLL1390 cells, human HL60 cells, human Raji cells and human U937 cells, and remains active in TMZ-resistant CLL1390 cells[3].
NEO212 (0-100 μM; 5 days) potently inhibits the activity of human AML cell lines U937, 6D10, HL60, KG1 and THP1 in vitro, with IC50 values ranging from ≤ 5 μM to 50 μM, and exerts better efficacy than TMZ in MGMT-positive AML cells[4].
NEO212 (50-100 μM; 16-32 h) downregulates MGMT protein levels in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in human THP1 and HL60 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, whereas TMZ does not alter MGMT levels[4].
NEO212 (30 μM; 1-5 days) stimulates the expression of macrophage differentiation marker genes in human cytarabine-resistant 6D10 AML cells[4].
NEO212 (10-100 μM; 3-5 days) significantly upregulates CD11b mRNA levels in human U937, 6D10, THP1 and HL60 AML cells in vitro, and this effect cannot be mimicked by equimolar mixtures of TMZ and POH[4].
NEO212 (10-100 μM; 3-5 days) upregulates the cell surface CD11b protein levels in human U937, 6D10, HL60 and THP1 AML cells in vitro, and this effect cannot be replicated by TMZ, POH or their equimolar mixture[4].
