ELR-510444 is a novel and potent inhibitor of microtubule polymeirzation (also called microtubule disruptor or mitotic inhibitor) with potential antivascular effects and in vivo antitumor efficacy, it can cause a loss of cellular microtubules and the formation of aberrant mitotic spindles which lead to mitotic arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells. Additionally, in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model, ELR510444 exhibits strong antitumor activity with a minimum 2-fold therapeutic window. Research on tumor endothelial cells demonstrates that ELR510444, at a low concentration (30 nM), quickly changes the shape of endothelial cells; this effect is comparable to that of combretastatin A4, a vascular disrupting agent.
| Targets |
Microtubule
ELR510444 targets microtubules (IC50 = 0.15 μM for inhibiting tubulin polymerization) [1] ELR510444 targets hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) (EC50 = 0.3 μM for inhibiting HIF-1α transcriptional activity) [2] |

| ln Vitro |
ELR510444 has potent microtubule-disrupting action, which results in aberrant mitotic spindle formation, loss of cellular microtubules, mitotic arrest, and cancer cell apoptosis. With an IC(50) value of 30.9 nM in MDA-MB-231 cells, ELR510444 potently inhibits cell proliferation. It also inhibits the rate and extent of purified tubulin assembly and displaces colchicine from tubulin, suggesting a direct interaction between the drug and tubulin at the colchicine-binding site. Given that ELR510444 does not function as a substrate for the P-glycoprotein drug transporter and maintains its activity in cell lines overexpressing βIII-tubulin, it appears to work around two important clinical mechanisms of drug resistance to this class of agents[1]. In tubulin polymerization assay using purified porcine brain tubulin, ELR510444 dose-dependently inhibited tubulin polymerization with an IC50 of 0.15 μM, reaching maximal inhibition (~90%) at 1 μM [1] - In a panel of human cancer cell lines, ELR510444 exhibited potent antiproliferative activity: IC50 values were 0.2 μM (A549, non-small cell lung cancer), 0.25 μM (MCF-7, breast cancer), 0.3 μM (HCT116, colon cancer), 0.18 μM (ACHN, renal cell carcinoma), and 0.22 μM (786-O, renal cell carcinoma) after 72-hour treatment (MTT assay) [1][2] - Flow cytometric analysis showed that ELR510444 (0.2 μM) induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in A549 cells: G2/M population increased from 13.2% (vehicle) to 52.6% after 24-hour treatment, accompanied by a decrease in G1 phase (from 64.5% to 28.3%) [1] - ELR510444 (0.1-0.5 μM) dose-dependently induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells: 0.5 μM treatment resulted in an apoptotic rate of 41.8% (Annexin V-FITC/PI staining) compared to 3.5% in vehicle control, with activation of caspase-3 (cleaved caspase-3: ~4.8-fold increase) and cleavage of PARP (cleaved PARP: ~4.5-fold increase) [1] - Immunofluorescence staining of ACHN renal cancer cells revealed that ELR510444 (0.2 μM) disrupted microtubule cytoskeleton: microtubules appeared fragmented and disorganized, in contrast to the intact network in vehicle-treated cells [1][2] - In hypoxic (1% O2) ACHN cells, ELR510444 (0.1-0.5 μM) dose-dependently inhibited HIF-1α transcriptional activity: 0.3 μM treatment reduced HIF-1α-dependent luciferase activity by ~70% and downregulated VEGF, GLUT1, and CAIX mRNA levels by ~65%, ~60%, and ~75%, respectively (real-time PCR) [2] - ELR510444 (up to 10 μM) did not affect the viability of normal human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) or dermal fibroblasts (CC50 > 10 μM) [1][2] |
| ln Vivo |
ELR510444 exhibits strong antitumor activity in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model. Endothelial cell shape is quickly changed by ELR510444 at a low concentration (30 nM)[1].
In nude mice bearing A549 non-small cell lung cancer xenografts, intraperitoneal administration of ELR510444 (10 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day) for 21 days dose-dependently inhibited tumor growth: high-dose treatment achieved a tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rate of 73% and reduced tumor weight from 1.21 ± 0.17 g (vehicle) to 0.33 ± 0.08 g [1] - In MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft mice, intraperitoneal ELR510444 (20 mg/kg/day for 21 days) resulted in a TGI rate of 69% and prolonged the median time to tumor doubling from 9 days (vehicle) to 23 days [1] - In nude mice bearing ACHN renal cell carcinoma xenografts, intraperitoneal ELR510444 (15 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day) for 28 days dose-dependently inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis: high-dose treatment achieved a TGI rate of 76%, reduced tumor microvessel density (CD31 staining) by ~68%, and downregulated HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression in tumor tissues by ~72% and ~65%, respectively (immunohistochemistry) [2] - No significant weight loss (vehicle: 22.8 ± 1.5 g vs. high-dose: 21.6 ± 1.3 g) or overt toxicity (lethargy, abnormal behavior) was observed in treated mice [1][2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
ELR510444 has potent microtubule-disrupting action, which results in aberrant mitotic spindle formation, loss of cellular microtubules, mitotic arrest, and cancer cell apoptosis.
Tubulin polymerization inhibition assay: Purified porcine brain tubulin was diluted in polymerization buffer (pH 6.9) containing GTP. Serial dilutions of ELR510444 (0.01-10 μM) were added to the tubulin solution, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C. Tubulin polymerization was monitored by measuring fluorescence intensity (excitation 360 nm, emission 420 nm) over 60 minutes. IC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves of polymerization inhibition [1] - HIF-1α transcriptional activity assay: ACHN cells were transfected with HIF-1α-driven luciferase reporter plasmid and β-actin-renilla plasmid (internal control). After 24-hour transfection, cells were placed in a hypoxic chamber (1% O2) and treated with serial dilutions of ELR510444 (0.01-1 μM) for 24 hours. Luciferase activity was measured using a dual-luciferase assay system, and relative luciferase activity (firefly/renilla) was calculated to assess HIF-1α inhibition. EC50 values were derived from dose-response curves [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
ELR510444 is a novel small molecule drug with a dual mechanism of action: microtubule disruption and HIF-1α inhibition [1][2]
- The therapeutic mechanism of ELR510444 involves two key pathways: 1) binding to tubulin to inhibit polymerization, disrupting the microtubule cytoskeleton, inducing G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, and promoting cancer cell apoptosis; 2) inhibiting HIF-1α transcriptional activity, downregulating the expression of hypoxia response genes (VEGF, GLUT1, CAIX), and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and metabolic adaptation [1][2] - ELR510444 has been developed for the treatment of solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and renal cell carcinoma [1][2] - Preclinical data show that ELR510444 It exhibits potent in vitro antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines and demonstrates significant in vivo antitumor efficacy in xenograft models, while exhibiting low cytotoxicity to normal cells [1][2]. The dual-target strategy (microtubules + HIF-1α) of ELR510444 gives it a potential advantage in overcoming tumor hypoxia-induced drug resistance, making it a promising candidate for cancer treatment [2]. |
