VLX1570 | CAS#1431280-51-1 | USP14/UCHL5 Inhibitor

MedKoo Cat#: 206324 | Name: VLX1570

Description:

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

VLX1570 is an inhibitor of the 19S proteasome-specific deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) USP14 and UCHL5, with apoptosis-inducing and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, VLX1570 specifically binds to both USP14 and UCHL5, thereby blocking their deubiquitylating activity. This blocks the ubiquitin proteasome degradation pathway, prevents the degradation of defective proteins, and leads to an accumulation of poly-ubiquitylated proteins. This induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) and results in both the induction of tumor cell apoptosis and the inhibition of tumor cell growth.

Biological target:

VLX1570 is a competitive inhibitor of proteasome deubiquitinases (DUBs) with an IC50 of approximate 10 μM.

In vitro activity:

Inhibition of proteasome ubiquitin processing following VLX1570 treatment results in the accumulation of high molecular weight polyubiquitinated substrates in cells. A dose-dependent increase in high-molecular polyubiquitinated proteins in ALL cells following exposure to VLX1570 (Figure 1B) was found. The increases in polyubiquitinated proteins occurred at drug concentrations that reduced the number of viable cells (50 – 100 nM), consistent with the notion that the growth inhibitory effect of the drug is due to UPS inhibition. The extent of accumulation of misfolded protein substrates in VLX1570-exposed cells was previously found to be associated with cytotoxicity. In general cells with high protein turnover rates respond to decreased UPS flux via the induction of chaperones to counteract the accumulation of misfolded proteins. VLX1570 increased the expression of the inducible form of Hsp70 (HSP70B´) in all ALL cell lines tested (Figure 1B). Induction of HSP70B´ was generally observed at drug concentrations that induced the accumulation of polyubiquitin.

In vivo activity:

To evaluate the in vivo activity of benzyl-4-piperidone compounds, a GFP-luciferase expressing A673 xenograft model was treated with b-AP15 following injection of cells to study the effect on tumor formation. Treatment with b-AP15 resulted in undetectable tumors by imaging at 4 weeks (Fig S3A). Next, bortezomib and b-AP15 were compared in an A673 xenograft model and demonstrated superior growth inhibition and improved survival with the former (Fig S3B and S3C). The ability of b-AP15 and VLX1570 to inhibit the growth of two EWS cell line xenografts, A673 and TC-71, was tested. Athymic mice were treated with bAP15 (25mg/kg), VLX1570 (4.4mg/kg), or vehicle daily via intraperitoneal administration. Growth of A673 and TC-71 xenograft tumors was significantly reduced by both compounds with VLX1570 being more potent (Fig. 3C).
