Description:

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

OSU03012; also known as AR12, is an orally available, targeted anti-cancer agent that has been shown in pre-clinical studies to inhibit PDK-1, a protein in the PI3K/Akt pathway that is involved in the growth and proliferation of cells, including cancer cells. AR-12 may also cause cell death through the induction of stress in the endoplasmic reticulum. We are currently conducting a multi-centered Phase I clinical study of AR-12 in adult patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma.

More Info
Related: 742112-33-0(AR-12) 1471979-81-3 (AR-12 Hydrochloride) AR-12 (formerly known as OSU-03012) is a potentially first-in-class, orally available, targeted anti-cancer agent that inhibits PDK-1, a protein in the PI3K/Akt pathway, and also causes cell death through the induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Arno is currently enrolling patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma in a Phase I clinical study. Preclinical data have demonstrated that AR-12 has activity in a wide range of tumor types and sas both a single agent and in combination with several widely used anti-cancer agents including Avastin®, Herceptin®, Gleevec®, Tarceva®, Sorafinib®, Nexavar®, and tamoxifen.   OSU-03012 is a derivative of celecoxib with anticancer activity. The mechanism of action is presumably 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) inhibition.  OSU-03012 inhibited cell growth of Huh7, Hep3B, and HepG2 cells with IC(50) below 1 mumol/L. In Huh7 cells, OSU-03012 did not suppress PDK1 or AKT activity. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay and flow cytometry analysis indicated that OSU-03012 did not induce cellular apoptosis. Instead, morphologic studies by light and electron microscopy, as well as special biological staining with monodansylcadaverine, acridine orange, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3, revealed OSU-03012-induced autophagy of Huh7 cells. This OSU-03012-induced autophagy was inhibited by 3-methyladenine. Moreover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation was detected after OSU-03012 treatment. Blocking ROS accumulation with ROS scavengers inhibited autophagy formation, indicating that ROS accumulation and subsequent autophagy formation might be a major mechanism of action of OSU-03012. Daily oral treatment of BALB/c nude mice with OSU-03012 suppressed the growth of Huh7 tumor xenografts. Electron microscopic observation indicated that OSU-03012 induced autophagy in vivo. Together, our results show that OSU-03012 induces autophagic cell death but not apoptosis in HCC and that the autophagy-inducing activity is at least partially related to ROS accumulation.( source: Cancer Res. 2008 Nov 15;68(22):9348-57., or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19010909).        
Biological target:
OSU-03012 (AR-12) is an inhibitor of recombinant PDK-1(phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1) with IC50 of 5 μM.
In vitro activity:
Vero cells were treated with AR12 (1 μM; 2 μM) and then infected with SARS-CoV-2 at 0.01 and 0.001 multiplicities of infection (MOI). Twenty-four and forty-eight hours after infection, cells were fixed in place and permeabilized, and stained for expression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, total GRP78 and total ERK2 as a loading control. In a dose-dependent fashion, AR12 suppressed the production of virus spike protein (Fig. 2 A and B). Cells were then infected and treated with AR12 (2 μM) 3 h, 6 h and 12 h after infection, with cells being fixed and stained 24 h after infection. Treatment of infected cells with AR12 significantly reduced the amount of spike protein produced in the infected cells as well as the amount of GRP78 in the cells (Fig. 2C and D).

In vivo activity:
To study the effects of OSU-03012 on tumor progression in vivo, this study treated the Ishikawa xenograft with OSU-03012. First of all, compared with the control group, the tumor volume of mice in the OSU-03012 treatment group was significantly reduced (Figure 6A and B).The results showed that the mass and volume of the tumor were significantly reduced with OSU-03012 treatment (0.222 ± 0.07235g, 339.6 ± 103.2 mm3, n=5) relative to the vehicle controls (0.624 ± 0.02694 g, 1170 ± 84.51 mm3, n=5, Figure 6C and E); meanwhile, the body weights of the mice remained consistent throughout the duration of the experiment, exhibiting no serious toxicity at specified dose regimens (Figure 6D). These results demonstrate that oral administration of OSU-03012 can prevent EC progression. Reference: Drug Des Devel Ther. 2021; 15: 1797–1810. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8096345/
