Product Description
Etalocib, formerly known as LY293111 and VML295, is a novel diaryl ether carboxylic acid analogue, is a potent and selective inhibitor of the lipoxygenase pathway either directly through 5'-lipoxygenase or via antagonism of the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor. LY293111 has antineoplastic activity in a variety of preclinical models.
Etalocib (LY293111; VML295) is a novel, orally active diaryl ether carboxylic acid derivative that functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of the lipoxygenase pathway. It acts as a leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist and also directly inhibits 5'-lipoxygenase. The compound was originally developed for its anti-inflammatory properties but has also demonstrated significant antineoplastic activities, making it a compound of interest for oncology research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Etalocib selectively binds to and blocks the leukotriene B4 receptor (LTB4R, also known as BLT1 or P2Y7), thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways. Additionally, it directly inhibits 5'-lipoxygenase, a key enzyme in the leukotriene synthesis pathway. This dual mechanism of action allows etalocib to effectively block neutrophil activation and subsequent inflammation.
ln Vitro
The LTB4-induced overexpression of CD11b is inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by etalocib (LY293111) [1]. Etalocib (LY293111) is a highly effective and specific inhibitor of human neutrophil activity that can be used in vitro [2]. Human pancreatic cancer cells undergo apoptosis and are inhibited from proliferating when exposed to etabacib (LY293111, 250 and 500 nM, 24-72 hours) [3].
Etalocib potently inhibits the specific binding of [³H]LTB4 to its receptor with a Ki of 25 nM. It inhibits LTB4-induced calcium mobilization with an IC₅₀ of 20 nM and LTB4-induced chemotaxis of human neutrophils with an IC₅₀ of 6.3 nM. The compound also demonstrates concentration-dependent inhibition of LTB4-induced CD11b upregulation. In human pancreatic cancer cell lines, etalocib inhibits growth at concentrations of 250-1,000 nM.
ln Vivo
When given intravenously (ED50=14 µg/kg) or orally (ED50=0.4 mg/kg), etalocib (LY293111) produces dose-related inhibition of acute leukotriene B4-induced airway obstruction [2]. Within an hour, A23187-induced pulmonary inflammatory changes can be inhibited by etalocib (LY293111, 10 mg/kg) [2]. In athymic mice, the growth of human pancreatic cancer xenografts is inhibited by etabacib (LY293111, 250 mg/kg/day, oral) [3].
Etalocib has demonstrated in vivo efficacy by inhibiting the growth of subcutaneous xenografts of human pancreatic cancer cells (MiaPaCa-2 and AsPC-1) in athymic mice at a dose of 250 mg/kg/day. This treatment induced apoptosis and S-phase arrest in the tumors. As an orally active compound, it is suitable for convenient administration in animal models to study its antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular assays for etalocib involve competitive radioligand binding displacement studies using isolated human neutrophils or membrane preparations expressing the LTB4 receptor (BLT1). These preparations are incubated with [³H]LTB4 and varying concentrations of etalocib. Following incubation and filtration to separate bound from free radioligand, the radioactivity is measured by scintillation counting. IC₅₀ or Ki values for receptor binding are determined from displacement curves.
Cell Assay
Cell proliferation assay [3]
Cell Types: MiaPaCa-2 and AsPC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells. [3]
Tested Concentrations: 500 nM.
Incubation Duration: 24, 48 and 72 hrs (hours).
Experimental Results: Concentration-dependent and time-dependent inhibition of thymidine incorporation in MiaPaCa-2 and AsPC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells.
Apoptosis analysis [3]
Cell Types: MiaPaCa-2 and AsPC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells.
Tested Concentrations: 250 and 500 nM.
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours).
Experimental Results: Apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer cells was induced.
In vitro cellular assays for etalocib involve treating human neutrophils or cancer cell lines with the compound and measuring various functional endpoints. For neutrophils, LTB4-induced calcium mobilization is measured using fluorescent calcium indicators, chemotaxis is assessed using Boyden chamber assays, and CD11b upregulation is quantified by flow cytometry. For cancer cells (e.g., MiaPaCa-2, AsPC-1), cell proliferation is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo® assays after 24-72 hours of treatment with 250-1,000 nM etalocib.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: guinea pig[2].
Doses: 1-10 mg/kg.
Doses: Take once orally.
Experimental Results: A single 1 mg/kg oral dose administered 8 hrs (hrs (hours)) before leukotriene B4 challenge inhibited the increase in isolated lung gas volume by 76.7±7.1% (n=4, P<0.002) and 28.6±20.3% (n= 4, P<0.002). NS) given 24 hrs (hrs (hours)) before challenge. A23187 had no effect on lung air retention 1 hour or 2 hrs (hrs (hours)) after challenge (10 mg/kg). However, at 4 hrs (hrs (hours)), the pulmonary air retention response was Dramatically lower than in vehicle-treated controls and not different from sham. The 10 mg/kg dose inhibited A23187-induced lung inflammatory changes within 1 hour but had no effect at 2 or 4 hrs (hrs (hours)) post-challenge.
In vivo animal experiments with etalocib are conducted in athymic nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of human pancreatic cancer cell lines (e.g., MiaPaCa-2, AsPC-1). Tumor-bearing mice are treated with etalocib via oral gavage at a dose of 250 mg/kg/day. Tumor growth inhibition is monitored by caliper measurements. At study termination, tumors are collected for histopathological analysis, assessment of apoptosis (e.g., TUNEL assay), and cell cycle analysis (e.g., flow cytometry for S-phase arrest).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Etalocib has a molecular weight of 436.54 and a molecular formula of C₂₇H₂₉FO₄. It is a solid powder with a purity of ≥98%. The compound is soluble in DMSO and is typically stored at -20°C. As an orally active compound, etalocib is absorbed after oral administration. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, Cₘₐₓ, and bioavailability are best characterized in the context of specific preclinical studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity data for etalocib are primarily derived from preclinical studies. In animal models, the compound has been administered at doses up to 250 mg/kg/day. Standard toxicological endpoints would have been assessed in safety pharmacology studies, but detailed toxicity profiles are not widely published in general reference sources. As with any investigational compound, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling etalocib.

Additional Infomation
LY293111 is an aromatic ether. Etalocib has been used in clinical trials to investigate the treatment of pancreatic cancer, carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and unspecified types of adult solid tumors (protocol-specific). Etalocib is a second-generation selective leukotriene B4 receptor (LTB4R) antagonist with potential antitumor activity. Although the exact mechanism of action of LY293111 is not fully elucidated, the drug selectively binds to and blocks LTB4R, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways. Studies have shown that LY293111 can induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of LTB4R-expressing cells, such as pancreatic cancer cells.
Etalocib (LY293111; VML295) is a dual inhibitor of the lipoxygenase pathway, acting as both an LTB4 receptor antagonist and a 5'-lipoxygenase inhibitor. It has been investigated for its anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic properties, with a focus on pancreatic cancer. The compound's oral bioavailability and potent in vitro and in vivo activity made it a candidate for further development.
