Molibresib besylate
Based on 23 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Molibresib besylate (GSK 525762C; I-BET 762 besylate) is an orally active pan-BET inhibitor that targets and binds to BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT. By competitively occupying acetylated lysine binding sites, Molibresib besylate disrupts the interaction between BET proteins and chromatin, thereby effectively inhibiting MYC expression and target gene transcription. Molibresib besylate exhibits broad antiproliferative activity, which not only inhibits cancer cell growth and induces growth arrest, but also downregulates mitosis-related genes and upregulates the level of p-ERK1/2. When combined with MEK inhibitors, Molibresib besylate shows a significant synergistic effect, reduces tumor burden in mouse models of leukemia, modulates the immune microenvironment and prolongs survival. Molibresib besylate is widely applicable to research related to acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, triple-negative breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer and various advanced refractory solid tumors.

Biological Activity
IC50: 32.5-42.5 nM (BET)[1]
Molibresib (besylate) (10-500 nM; 7 days, single agent; 0.05-1.5 μM; 7 days, in combination with trametinib) alone inhibits primary NrasG12D/+;Asxl1-/- AML cell proliferation in vitro, and in combination with trametinib exerts synergistic anti-proliferative effects on these cells[1].
Molibresib (besylate) (500 nM; 24-96 h) down-regulates MYC signatures and transiently down-regulates mitotic genes in RKO colorectal cancer cells, and combined treatment with trametinib results in sustained, robust down-regulation of mitotic, E2F, and apoptotic signatures that is greater than either single agent[2].
Molibresib (besylate) (500 nM; 1-6 days) induces transient G1 arrest in RKO colorectal cancer cells and modest G1 arrest in BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells, and combined treatment with trametinib results in sustained G1 arrest in RKO cells and cell death in BxPC-3 cells[2].
Molibresib (besylate) (100 nM to 1 μM; 1-6 days) up-regulates p-ERK1/2 levels in RPMI-8226 multiple myeloma, NCI-H510 small cell lung carcinoma, and NCI-H526 small cell lung carcinoma cells, and this up-regulation is reversed by co-treatment with MEK inhibitors[2].
Molibresib (besylate) (500 nM (RPMI-8226), 1 μM (NCI-H510); 96 h) up-regulates ERK activation-associated genes in RPMI-8226 multiple myeloma and NCI-H510 small cell lung carcinoma cells, and this up-regulation is reversed by co-treatment with MEK inhibitors[2].
