Description |
A-1155463, a highly potent and selective BCL-XL inhibitor, shows picomolar binding affinity to BCL-XL, and >1000-fold weaker binding to BCL-2 and related proteins BCL-W(Ki=19 nM) and MCL-1(Ki>440 nM). |

In vitro |
A-1155463 disrupts BCL-XL-BIM but not BCL-2-BIM complexes in cells. A-1155463 kills BCL-XL-dependent Molt-4 cells (EC50=70 nM) but has no measurable cytotoxicity against BCL-2-dependent RS4;11 cells
(EC50>5 mM). A-1155463 induces the hallmarks of apoptosis, as evidenced by the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, caspase activation, and the accumulation of caspase-dependent sub-G0-G1 DNA content in BCL-XL-dependent H146 cells[2].

In vivo |
Following a single 5 mg/kg IP dose of A-1155463 in nontumor bearing SCID-Beige mice, platelet counts fall dramatically as measured at 6 h postdose and then rebound to normal levels within 72 h. Daily Dosing at 5 mg/kg IP to SCID-Beige mice that had been inoculated with BCL-XL-dependent H146 tumor cells for 14 days causes a statistically significant inhibition of tumor growth (maximum tumor growth inhibition = 44%), which is alleviated upon cessation of dosing[1].
