AG-270 demonstrates potent reduction in levels of intracellular SAM, as well as MTAP-null–selective antiproliferative activity in the HCT116 MTAP isogenic cell model in vitro[1].
AG-270 exhibits an IC50 of 20 nM in HCT116 MTAP-null cell SAM at 72 h[1].
MAT2A is a key enzyme in the methionine salvage pathway, responsible for generating the universal methyl donor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
AG-270 (200 mg/kg, orally, q.d. for 38 days) results in dose-dependent reduction in tumor SAM levels and tumor growth of KP4 MTAP-null xenografts and is well tolerated, with mean body weight loss <5%[1].
Combining AG-270 with taxanes and gemcitabine yielded additive-tosynergistic antitumor activity, with the docetaxel combination yielding 50% complete tumor regressions in select models; combination benefits are observed in PDX models derived from esophageal, NSCLC, and pancreatic cancers[2].
