XL-20 is an orally active DNA polymerase θ (Polθ) ATPase inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.3 nM against human targets. XL-20 activates the cGAS-STING pathway. XL-20 upregulates the expression of PD-L1 in HR-deficient cancer cells. XL-20 acts synergistically with PARP inhibition in HR-deficient cancer cells and in vivo xenograft models. XL-20 can be used in studies related to HR-deficient cancers.

In Vitro

XL-20 (60 min) potently inhibits purified Polθ ATPase activity with an IC50 of 4.3 nM[1].
XL-20 (up to 80 μM; 7 days) potently inhibits the growth of HR-deficient MDA-MB-436, HCT116, and SW48 cells with IC50 values of 8.1 μM, 16.5 μM, and 17.2 μM respectively, and shows minimal activity in HR-proficient MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 >80 μM)[1].
XL-20 (5-20 μM; 9 days) inhibits colony formation of MDA-MB-436 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
XL-20 (5-20 μM; 7 days) induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-436 cells in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
XL-20 (5-20 μM; 7 days) induces concentration-dependent DNA double-strand break accumulation in MDA-MB-436 cells, as measured by γH2AX expression[1].
XL-20 (5-20 μM; 24 h) inhibits S-phase DNA synthesis in MDA-MB-436 cells in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
XL-20 (up to 10 μM) shows weak inhibition of the hERG potassium channel[1].
XL-20 (5-40 μM; 7 days) exhibits synergistic antiproliferative activity with Olaparib (HY-10162) in MDA-MB-436 cells, supporting a combination therapeutic strategy[1].
XL-20 (10 μM; 9-16 h) activates the cGAS-STING pathway in MDA-MB-436 cells, increasing phosphorylation of TBK1 and STAT1 and upregulating type I interferon-related genes and PD-L1, with stronger activity than AB25583 (HY-162859)[1].

In Vivo

XL-20 (20 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) monotherapy induces 43.7% tumor growth inhibition and increased DNA damage in MDA-MB-436 xenografts, while combination with olaparib (30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) enhances efficacy to 64% TGI with favorable tolerability[1].

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.
