Product Description
Obatoclax (also known as GX-15070; GX15 070) is a potent p an-BCL-2 family proteins inhibitor with a Ki of 0.22 μM in a cell-free assay. Obatoclax binds to the BH3-binding site of BCL-2 and other related BCL-2 family members (including BCL-XL, MCL-1, A1, and BCL-B). As a pan-BCL-2 inhibitor, it is being investigated for the treatment of refractory malignancies, obatoclax mesylate directly induce apoptosis in cultured acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells as well as primary patient samples and exhibits antitumor activity in mouse xengografts of solid tumor and myeloma cell lines. The Bcl-2 family of proteins are overexpressed in various cancers such as the lymphatic system, breast, lung, prostate, and colon. Therefore, Obatoclax has anticancer activity as an Bcl-2 inhibitor.
Obatoclax (CAS 803712-67-6), also known as GX15-070, is a synthetic small-molecule inhibitor of the Bcl-2 family of proteins with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. The compound has a molecular formula of C20H19N3O and a molecular weight of 317.38. Obatoclax binds to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and interferes with their ability to interact with pro-apoptotic proteins, thereby promoting apoptosis. It is a BH3 mimetic that blocks the actions of certain proteins that cells need to live and may kill cancer cells. Obatoclax is a type of apoptosis inducer and BCL2 protein antagonist. It has been investigated as a potential anticancer agent for various malignancies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bcl-2 family proteins (including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and others). Obatoclax is a small-molecule inhibitor that binds to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and interferes with their ability to interact with pro-apoptotic proteins. As a BH3 mimetic, Obatoclax mimics the action of BH3-only proteins, which are pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. By binding to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, Obatoclax displaces pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax and Bak, allowing them to oligomerize and induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, leading to apoptosis. The compound targets multiple anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1.
ln Vitro
Obatoclax (GX15-070) has a Ki value of around 1-7 μM and inhibits BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1, BCL-w, A1, and BCL-b [2]. In all human colorectal cancer cell lines, obatoclax (50-200 nM; 24-72 hours) causes dose- and time-dependent decreases in cell number. Specifically, at 72 hours, the IC50 values for cell proliferation of HCT116, HT-29, and LoVo cells were 25.85, 40.69, and 40.01 nM, respectively [1]. For a duration of 24 hours, obatoclax (400 nM) stimulates autophagy in OSCC cells [3]. The dose-dependent rise in the G1 cell population is brought about by obatoclax (50-200 nM) for a 24-hour period [1]. Cyclin D1 levels are significantly reduced by obatoclax (25-200 nM; for 24 hours); the lowest level observed was 50 nM [1]. Obatoclax causes cyclin D1 degradation that is either -independent or -dependent on T286 phosphorylation. After being exposed to obatoclax (200 nM; 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours), steady-state levels of p-Cyclin D (T286) in HCT116 and LoVo cells started to decline. In HT-29 cells, obatoclax hardly affects ERK1/2 activity but inhibits GSK3β and activates p38 MAPK [1]. The clonogenic potential of oral cancer cells is successfully inhibited by obatoclax (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 nM) [1].
Obatoclax demonstrates potent in vitro activity against various cancer cell lines. In human colorectal cancer cell lines, Obatoclax (50-200 nM; 24-72 hours) induces a dose- and time-dependent reduction of cell numbers. The IC50 for cell proliferation at 72 hours is 25.85 nM in some cell lines. The compound induces apoptosis in cancer cells by disrupting the interaction between anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Obatoclax has been evaluated in various cancer types, including leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. Further detailed in vitro data, including IC50 values against various cancer cell lines, are available in the primary literature.
ln Vivo
In a xenograft mouse model, obatoclax (GX15-070; 1.15–5 mg/kg; intravenous injection; five consecutive days) exhibited strong anticancer efficacy in a dose-dependent manner [4].
In vivo activity of Obatoclax has been investigated in preclinical models of various cancers. The compound has shown antitumor activity in xenograft models of leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. However, specific in vivo data, including efficacy in animal models, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity, are not extensively detailed in the available literature summary. Obatoclax has also been evaluated in clinical trials for various malignancies. Further information would be available in the primary research publications.
Enzyme Assay
Binding assays for Obatoclax are performed using recombinant Bcl-2 family proteins. The compound is incubated with the protein and a fluorescently labeled BH3 peptide, and the inhibition of peptide binding is measured. Binding affinities for various Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1) are determined. The compound's ability to disrupt Bcl-2 family protein interactions can be confirmed in cell-based assays.
