Description:

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

Devimistat, also known as CPI-613, is a racemic mixture of the enantiomers of a synthetic alpha-lipoic lipoic acid analogue with potential chemopreventive and antineoplastic activities. Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, alpha-lipoic acid analogue CPI-613 has been shown to inhibit metabolic and regulatory processes required for cell growth in solid tumors. Both enantiomers in the racemic mixture exhibit antineoplastic activity. The mechanism-of-action of CPI-613 appears distinct from the current classes of anti-cancer agents used in the clinic. CPI-613 demonstrates both in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity. CPI-613 was known to strongly disrupt tumor mitochondrial metabolism.

More Info
CPI-613 disruption of tumor mitochondrial metabolism is followed by efficient commitment to cell death by multiple, apparently redundant pathways, including apoptosis, in all tested cancer cell lines. Further, CPI-613 shows strong antitumor activity in vivo against human non-small cell lung and pancreatic cancers in xenograft models with low side-effect toxicity.       
Biological target:
Devimistat (CPI-613) is a lipoic acid analog that inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
In vitro activity:
To understand whether mitochondrial morphological alterations are responsive to CPI-613, the phenotype of mitochondria in AsPC-1 cells was examined in the presence or absence of CPI-613. TEM analysis showed that CPI-613 dramatically reduced mitochondrial cristae junctions and overall cristae morphology (Fig. 1a). The same phenotype of mitochondria was seen in CPI-613-treated PANC-1 cells (Fig. 1a), indicating that CPI-613 is potent to disrupt mitochondrial structure of pancreatic cancer cells. In addition, there were increased levels of cleaved PARP, cleaved Caspase 3, and Bax in both cell lines treated with CPI-613, coupled with decreased levels of Bcl-2 (Fig. 2c). These data indicate that CPI-613 can effectively induce apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells.

In vivo activity:
OVCAR3 (ovarian cancer) cells were injected s.c. in NOD/SCID (NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/NCrCrl congenic immunodeficient) mice, and once tumors reached 200 mm3 of volume, the mice were treated weekly i.p. with CPI-613 at a concentration of 12.5 mg/kg. 48 h after the second injection, flow cytometric analysis of tumor cells revealed a decrease in CD133+ and CD117+ tumor cell frequency in CPI-613-treated mice compared with vehicle-treated mice (p-value < 0.001) (Figure 3B lower panel). This effect on CD133+ and CD117+ cell populations was similar to what was observed in the in vitro analysis, confirming the ability of CPI-613 to reduce CSC frequency in the tumor.
