CAS#: 5291-32-7

Description: APR-246, also known as PRIMA-1MET and Eprenetapopt, is a quinuclidinone derivative that targets the Wrap53 gene with potential antineoplastic activity. p53 activator APR-246 binds to and activates transcription of the Wrap53 gene, which results in an increase in WRAP53 p53 antisense transcript levels and, potentially, an increase in native p53 activity; in turn, increased p53 activity may lead to an induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in tumor cells. This agent may work synergistically with other antineoplastic agents.

Biological target: APR-246 is a first-in-class, small molecule that restores wild-type p53 functions in TP53-mutant cells.
In vitro activity: Since APR-246 depletes GSH (glutathione) and system xC− blockade leads to cystine starvation, which in turn impairs GSH synthesis, it was examined whether their therapeutic combination would synergistically target mut-p53 cancer cells. APR-246 was applied to esophageal cell lines following SLC7A11 knockdown. Inhibiting SLC7A11 expression significantly enhanced the efficacy of APR-246, particularly against cancer cells with mut-p53 accumulation (Fig. 7a), resulting in synergistic induction of ROS and apoptosis (Fig. 7b,c; Supplementary Fig. 7a). Mechanistically, system xC− blockade in conjunction with APR-246 synergistically depleted intracellular GSH, resulting in mitochondrial ROS (reactive oxygen species) accumulation, lipid peroxidation and ultimately apoptotic cell death (Fig. 7h–k; Supplementary Fig. 7e–h).

In vivo activity: In FLO-1 xenografts, SLC7A11 knockdown significantly enhanced the anti-tumour activity of APR-246 (Fig. 8b,c; Supplementary Fig. 8k), leading to synergistic reduction of intratumoral GSH levels and improved animal survival (Fig. 8d,e). Consistent with this, the combination of SAS (sulfasalazine) with APR-246 at tolerated doses (Supplementary Fig. 8l,m) also conferred greater anti-tumour activity than single agents alone (Fig. 8f). Importantly, these findings were reproduced in a PDX model of mut-p53 high-expressing oesophageal cancer (Fig. 8g–i; Supplementary Fig. 8n–o). Analysis of these tumours revealed markedly reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis (Fig. 8j). These results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of combining system xC− inhibitors with APR-246 to synergistically target cancer cells with mut-p53 accumulation.
