More Info
Biological target:
Ansamitocin P-3 (Antibiotic C 15003P3) is a microtubule inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
Treatment of SP37A3 cells with ansamitocin-P3 induced significant production of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-12 at doses greater than 100 nM (Figure 1B). In addition, exposure to ansamitocin-P3 induced the expression of the costimulatory molecules CD80, CD86, and CD40 (Figure 1C; Figure S1B). The dosing used for the MDAs favorably compares with the dosing used in clinics. Reference: Cell Rep. 2019 Sep 24; 28(13): 3367–3380.e8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6876861/
In vivo activity:
Significantly more LN-resident DCs were FITC-Dx/CD86-positive in ansamitocin P3-treated mice (20 %) compared with vehicle control-treated mice (0.3 %; Fig. 3a, b). FITC-Dx-bearing DCs were not detected in non-tumor-draining LNs in either case, arguing for local, tumor-selective effects of ansamitocin P3 treatment (data not shown). Enhanced activation of antigen-specific T cells in the presence of ansamitocin P3 was confirmed in vivo: Transgenic CD8+ and CD4+ T cells specific for OVA isolated from OT-I to OT-II mice, respectively, were adoptively transferred into Ly5.1 congenic recipient mice, which were immunized with a weak agonist peptide derived from the original OVA peptide SIINFEKL for OT-I T cells and the natural OVA323–339 peptide for OT-II i cells together with ansamitocin P3, LPS, or vehicle (PBS). Both ansamitocin P3 and LPS effectively induced strong proliferation of OT-I and OT-II T cells after 3 days (Fig. 3c).
