Product Description

Filanesib (formerly also known as ARRY-520) is a novel, potent and synthetic small molecule inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) with anticancer activity. It inhibits KSP with IC50 of 6 nM. Kinesin spindle protein (KSP) is a microtubule-associated motor protein that is overexpressed in a number of cancers and may be used as an anti-tumor target. KSP is necessary for the progression of the cell cycle. In acute myeloid leukemia cell lines that express high levels of KSP, filanesib blocked cell cycle progression, resulting in apoptosis. The response to ARRY-520 appeared to be unaffected by p53 knockdown, XIAP overexpression, or caspase-8 mutation, indicating that these factors are not connected to the response. ARRY-520 induced mitotic arrest in HL-60 and Bcl-2-overexpressing HL-60Bcl-2 cells, but in HL-60Bcl-2 cells, cell death was attenuated, indicating that the mitochondrial pathway is involved in the execution of the apoptotic program. In HL-60Bcl-2 cells, ABT-737's inhibition of Bcl-2 was therefore synergistic with ARRY-520. Moreover, in HL-60 cells, ARRY-520 raised Bim protein levels before caspase activation. ARRY-520 markedly reduced the growth of xenograft tumors in SCID mice and inhibited AML blast formation, but not normal colony formation. These results indicate that KSP plays a crucial role in the proliferation of leukemic progenitor cells. These findings show that ARRY-520 has the ability to completely eliminate AML progenitor cells by potently inducing cell cycle block and subsequent death in leukemic cells via the mitochondrial pathway.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
KSP (EC50 = 6 nM)
ln Vitro
Finerenone inhibits the proliferation of aldosterone-induced smooth muscle cells (SMC) and stops the apoptosis of aldosterone-induced endothelial cells (EC) in vitro. Finerenone causes an increase in endothelial healing and a decrease in the formation of neointima in injured vessels by dramatically lowering EC apoptosis while concurrently attenuating SMC proliferation.[2]
ln Vivo
Finerenone reduces superoxide anion levels because of an increase in SOD activity and improves endothelial dysfunction by increasing NO bioavailability. This is linked to a decrease in albuminuria and an increase in renal SOD activity.[1]
Cell Assay
For the purpose of measuring cell proliferation and apoptosis, cells are serum-starved for 24 hours before being incubated with aldosterone with or without finerenone. Cells are preincubated with finerenone or vehicle for 30 minutes prior to the addition of aldosterone.
Animal Protocol
Tumor xenografts placed subcutaneously are allowed to expand to a volume of 250–350 mm3. Depending on the size of their tumors, the mice are randomly assigned to groups of three to four and given a single intraperitoneal dose of filanesib (ARRY-520). The mice are put to sleep by CO2 inhalation at different intervals following the drug's administration, and the tumors are removed and put in 10% neutral buffered formalin. The tumors that have been fixed in formalin are processed and paraffin embedded using standard protocols. Tumor sections stained with α-tubulin are used to analyze spindle morphology, and TUNEL stain is used to analyze apoptosis. Algorithms developed in ImagePro software are used to analyze the count of TUNEL positive (apoptotic) cells and monopolar/abnormal spindles in three ×40 fields from each sample.
