Product Description
HUHS015 is a novel and potent inhibitor of PCA-1/ALKBH3 (prostate cancer antigen-1/AlkB Homolog 3) both in vitro and in vivo that was discovered from the optimization of a hit compound identified during random screening using a recombinant PCA-1/ALKBH3. The bioavailability (BA) of HUHS015 was 7.2% in rats after oral administration. Continuously administering HUHS015 significantly suppressed the growth of DU145 cells, which are human hormone-independent prostate cancer cells, in a mouse xenograft model without untoward effects.
HUHS015 is a potent inhibitor of prostate cancer antigen-1 (PCA-1/ALKBH3) with an IC₅₀ of 0.67 μM. PCA-1 is also known as α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 3 (ALKBH3). HUHS015 inhibits proliferation of DU145 human prostate cancer cells by 54% in 2D dish assays and 81% in 3D agar assays when used at a concentration of 10 μM. The compound has a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₈N₄O and a molecular weight of 318.37 g/mol. HUHS015 is also described as an autophagy inhibitor that disrupts autophagosome formation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PCA-1/ALKBH3 (prostate cancer antigen-1 / α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 3). HUHS015 is a potent PCA-1/ALKBH3 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 0.67 μM. ALKBH3 is a DNA/RNA repair enzyme that demethylates alkylated bases. It is overexpressed in prostate cancer and other cancers, where it promotes cancer cell survival and proliferation. Inhibition of PCA-1/ALKBH3 by HUHS015 leads to reduced cancer cell proliferation.
ln Vitro
Human hormone-independent prostate cancer cells, or DU145 cells, are greatly suppressed in growth by HUHS015[1].
In vitro, HUHS015 inhibits PCA-1/ALKBH3 with an IC₅₀ of 0.67 μM. It inhibits proliferation of DU145 human prostate cancer cells by 54% in 2D dish assays and 81% in 3D agar assays when used at a concentration of 10 μM. The compound is also described as an autophagy inhibitor that disrupts autophagosome formation. These activities demonstrate the compound's potential as an anticancer agent.
ln Vivo
DU145 cell growth is potently suppressed by HUHS015 in a mouse xenograft model[1]. After oral administration, HUHS015 exhibits a 7.2% bioavailability (BA) in rats[1].
Detailed in vivo activity data for HUHS015 are limited in publicly available sources. Based on its mechanism of action as a PCA-1/ALKBH3 inhibitor and its in vitro anti-proliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, HUHS015 is expected to demonstrate efficacy in preclinical mouse models of prostate cancer. The compound's ability to inhibit autophagy may contribute to its anticancer activity.
Enzyme Assay
The PCA-1/ALKBH3 enzyme inhibition assay for HUHS015 involves recombinant ALKBH3 incubated with a DNA or RNA substrate containing alkylated bases in the presence of α-ketoglutarate, Fe(II), and varying concentrations of the compound. Demethylase activity is measured by quantifying the removal of methyl groups from the substrate using methods such as mass spectrometry, radioactive labeling, or fluorescent assays. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
DU145 human prostate cancer cells are cultured in appropriate medium. Cells are treated with increasing concentrations of HUHS015 (typically ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo assays. For 3D agar assays, cells are embedded in soft agar and treated with HUHS015; colony formation is assessed after 2-3 weeks. Autophagy inhibition is assessed by Western blotting for LC3-II accumulation and p62 levels.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Nude mice[1]
Doses: 32 mg/kg
Route of Administration: subcutaneous (sc) injection; daily; 6 days
Experimental Results: Has inhibitory effect on the growth of subcutaneously (sc) implanted DU145, without limiting weight gains after a 6 days continuous administration.
In vivo efficacy studies for HUHS015 likely involve mouse xenograft models of prostate cancer. Immunodeficient mice are engrafted with DU145 or other prostate cancer cells subcutaneously. When tumors are established, HUHS015 is administered at various doses and schedules (typically oral or intraperitoneal). Tumor volumes are measured with calipers, and body weights are monitored. Tumors are excised at study termination for analysis of ALKBH3 inhibition and autophagy markers.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
HUHS015 has a molecular weight of 318.37 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₈N₄O. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are not extensively published. As a small molecule, HUHS015 is expected to be orally bioavailable. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C. Pharmacokinetic studies would be required to support further development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicology data for HUHS015 are limited in publicly available sources. As a PCA-1/ALKBH3 inhibitor being developed for cancer research, the compound would have undergone standard preclinical safety evaluation. The compound's mechanism of action targeting a DNA repair enzyme suggests that its toxicity profile may be related to effects on normal tissue DNA repair.
