Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

AZD5991 is a potent and selective Mcl-1 inhibitor for treatment of hematologic cancers. AZD5991 is a rationally designed macrocycle with sub-nanomolar affinity for Mcl-1. AZD5991 is an inhibitor of induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein (myeloid cell leukemia-1; Mcl-1; Bcl2-L-3), with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, AZD5991 binds to Mcl-1, thereby preventing the binding of Mcl-1 to and inactivation of certain pro-apoptotic proteins, and promoting apoptosis of cells overexpressing Mcl-1.

More Info
AZD5991 is an inhibitor of induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein (myeloid cell leukemia-1; Mcl-1; Bcl2-L-3), with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, AZD5991 binds to Mcl-1, thereby preventing the binding of Mcl-1 to and inactivation of certain pro-apoptotic proteins, and promoting apoptosis of cells overexpressing Mcl-1. Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic protein belonging to the Bcl-2 family of proteins, is upregulated in cancer cells and promotes tumor cell survival. Mcl-1, a member of the Bcl/Mcl family, is a key protein involved in evasion of apoptosis in a wide variety of tumors. Its amplification and overexpression have also been implicated in innate and acquired resistance to anticancer drugs. Mcl-1 is capable of preventing induction of apoptosis, both by binding and inactivating the pro-apoptotic executioner Bcl-2 protein, Bak, as well as by sequestering other pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins such as Bim and Noxa.
Product Data
Biological target:
AZD-5991 is a potent and selective Mcl-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.7 nM in FRET assay.
In vitro activity:
Treatment with AZD5591 diminished proliferation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner. Activated B-cell (ABC)-like cell lines OCI-LY10 and OCI-LY3 and germinal center B-cell (GCB)-like cell lines VAL, SU-DHL4 and SU-DHL6 were most sensitive to the drug (Fig. 1A). Meanwhile, other GCB (SU-DHL10, OCI-LY18) and ABC DLBCL cells (U-2932) showed resistance. Both parental and ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells were highly susceptible to Mcl-1 inhibition (IC50~0.3 μM; Fig. 1B). Reference: Clin Cancer Res. 2021 Jul 7:clincanres.0464.2021. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34233959/
In vivo activity:
Ten days after treatment, AZD5991 showed 52% and 93% TGI (p < 0.0001) at 10 and 30 mg kg−1, respectively. At the same time point, AZD5991 at 60 mg kg−1 led to 99% TR with no detectable tumors in 6 out of 7 mice, while complete TR was seen in 7 out of 7 mice in the 100 mg kg−1 dose group. AZD5991 also showed a dose-dependent duration of response with tumors in the 100 mg kg−1 group growing back later than those in the 60 mg kg−1 group.
