Biological Activity
ABT-751(E 7010) is a novel bioavailable tubulin-binding and antimitotic sulfonamide agent with IC50 of about 1.5 and 3.4 μM in neuroblastoma and non-neuroblastoma cell lines, respectively.
In Vitro
ABT-751 shows the selective cytotoxicity with IC50 of 0.6–2.6 μM in neuroblastoma and 0.7–4.6 μM in other solid tumor cell lines. Furthermore, ABT-751 also exhibits a selective effect on dynamic microtubules and spares stable microtubules, accounting for the persistence of acetylated and detyrosinated α-tubulin positive polymerized tubules at the IC90 concentration of ABT-751.
In Vivo
In Calu-6 xenograft model, ABT-751 as a single agent at 100 and 75 mg/kg/day shows significant antitumor activity, while in combination with cisplatin, ABT-751 shows a dose-dependent enhancement in growth delay. In the HT-29 colon xenograft model, ABT-751 also shows significant antitumor activity as a single agent and produced a dose-dependent enhancement in growth delay In combination with 5-FU. In dogs with lymphoma, ABT-751 exhibits the dose-limiting toxicities that included vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or some combination of these with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 350 mg/m2 PO q24h. Furthermore, the mean AUC and Cmax for ABT-751 at the MTD of 350 mg/m2 is 5.55 μg-hour/mL and 0.9 μg/mL, respectively.
