CBL0137 (formerly known as Curaxin 137 or CBL-0137) is an inhibitor of the histone chaperone, FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription complex). Additionally, in cell-based assays for p53 and NF-kB reporter, it activates p53 and inhibits NF-kB with EC50s of 0.37 μM and 0.47 μM, respectively. Glioblastoma and hematological malignancies are the two conditions CBL0137 is currently being tested for. In pancreatic cancer preclinical models, CBL0137 eliminates drug-resistant cancer stem cells and enhances the effectiveness of gemcitabine. Through the inhibition of chromatin remodeling complex FACT, curaxins regulate a number of significant signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). With PDA having the highest rate of overexpression (59%) among several tumor types, FACT is overexpressed.

ln Vitro |
At concentrations greater than 2.5 μM, treatment with CBL-0137 results in the complete absence of living cells. When combined with gemcitabine, CBL-0137 results in a greater decrease in the number of colonies formed by both gemcitabine-resistant PANC-1 cells and MiaPaCa-2 cells. RRM1 and RRM2 protein and mRNA levels are decreased in a dose-dependent manner by CBL-0137 treatment of human pancreatic cancer cells. Gemcitabine-induced expression of RRM1 and RRM2 on both the mRNA and protein levels can be stopped by CBL-0137[1].
|
ln Vivo |
Large necrotic fields, numerous apoptotic bodies, and a loss of tumor cells are visible in the samples from the CBL-0137 monotherapy group and the CBL-0137-gemcitabine combination group. The lack of statistically significant differences between the combination groups suggests that sub-optimal doses of 50 to 60 mg/kg CBL-0137 enhance gemcitabine antitumor activity in a manner comparable to that produced by the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 90 mg/kg. By reducing the number of active FACT involved in transcription elongation, CBL0137 hydrochloride inhibits the function of FACT[1]. CBL-0137 inhibits tumor growth in xenografts of colon (DLD-1), renal cell carcinoma (Caki-1), and melanoma (Mel-7) tumor cell lines and transplanted surgical samples from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma[2] when administered orally at a nontoxic dose of 30 mg/kg per day on a schedule of 5 days on/2 days off.

Enzyme Assay |
CBL-0137 is applied to MiaPaca2 and BxPC-3 cells for 4 or 24 hours. Protease and phosphatase inhibitors are present in 1×Cell Culture Lysis Reagent, which is used to harvest cells. Lysates 5 to 20 μg are transferred to PVDF membranes after being separated on SDS-PAGE gels. Antibodies that target the proteins SSRP1, SPT16, RRM1 and RRM2 are used to probe blots. The loading control is GAPDH. ECL kit is used to visualize proteins[1].
|
Cell Assay |
Different concentrations of CBL-0137 are applied to the cells after they have been resuspended in serum-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) for 1 hour. Then, 105 cells from each treatment condition are plated in 3 wells of a 6-well plate in 2 mL of serum-free DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 0.4% BSA, 0.2×B27, 10 ng/mL recombinant EGF, and containing 0.25% agarose. A 6-well plate with 3 wells of regular FBS-containing medium is used to plate 103 cells from each treatment condition. After plating, seven to fifteen days later, colonies are counted using an inverted microscope[1].

Animal Protocol |
Ketamine/xylazine is used to produce a deep anesthesia in 10-week-old female athymic nude mice (n=8 per treatment group). 2× 106 PANC-1 cells are injected into each mouse's pancreas tail via laparotomy. Treatment started two weeks after the vaccination (ultrasound confirmed the presence of the tumor). The following schedules are employed: 1) Vehicles, gavaged sterile water and 100mg/kg captisol intravenously, 2) once weekly intravenous administration of 50 to 90 mg/kg CBL-0137 in 100 mg/mL captisol, 3) 5 days on, 2 days off oral gavage administration of 10 to 20 mg/kg of CBL-0137. Utilizing digital calipers, tumors are measured. Using the formula L×W2/2, the tumor volume is calculated, where L is the longest dimension and W is the dimension perpendicular to L. Mice are observed until either 90 days have passed since the start of treatment or at least one tumor per mouse has reached 1000 mm3[1].

Additional Infomation |
CBL0137 is a member of the class of carbazoles that is 9H-carbazole which is substituted by acetyl groups at positions 3 and 6, and by a 2-isopropylethyl group on the nitrogen atom (position 9). It is a modulator of histone chaperone FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) - interaction of CBL0137 with the FACT complex results in simultaneous NF-kappa beta suppression, Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1 (HSF1) suppression and p53 activation - and shows antitumour effects in animal models of various cancers. It has a role as a NF-kappaB inhibitor, a p53 activator, an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a member of carbazoles, a secondary amino compound, a tertiary amino compound, an aromatic ketone and a methyl ketone.
