Hodoodo CAT#: H205920
CAS#: 23261-20-3
Description: VAL-083 is a bi-functional alkylating agent, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, VAL-083 crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) and appears to be selective for tumor cells. This agent alkylates and crosslinks DNA which ultimately leads to a reduction in cancer cell proliferation. In addition, VAL-083 does not show cross-resistance to other conventional chemotherapeutic agents and has a long half-life in the brain.

More Info: VAL-083 has demonstrated activity in cyclophosphamide, BCNU and phenylanine mustard resistant cell lines and no evidence of cross-resistance has been encountered in published clinical studies. Based on the presumed alkylating functionality of VAL-083, published literature suggests that DNA repair mechanisms associated with Temodar and nitrosourea resistance, such as 06-methylguanine methyltransferace (MGMT), may not confer resistance to VAL-083. VAL-083 readily crosses the blood brain barrier where it maintains a long half-life in comparison to the plasma. Published preclinical and clinical research demonstrates that VAL-083 is selective for brain tumor tissue. VAL-083 has been assessed in multiple studies as chemotherapy in the treatment of newly diagnosed and recurrent brain tumors. In published clinical studies, VAL-083 has previously been shown to have a statistically significant impact on median survival in high grade gliomas when combined with radiation vs. radiation alone. The main dose-limiting toxicity related to the administration of VAL-083 in previous clinical studies was myelosuppression. (source: http://www.delmarpharma.com/product_development_programs/val083/).
Biological target: | VAL-083 is an alkylating agent that creates N7 methylation on DNA. |
In vitro activity: | In this study’s cohort, VAL-083 was significantly more effective than TMZ (Fig. 6a, b) and the response was not dependent on MGMT promoter methylation status (Fig. 6c). The response was similar in treatment-naïve and relapsed organoids (Supplementary Fig. 6c, online resource), suggesting that VAL-083 is able to overcome TMZ resistance.

In vivo activity: | VAL-083 monotherapy led to a dramatic reduction in tumor growth (Fig. 6e), an effect which was only mildly accentuated by combined treatment. Histological assessment of tumor-containing mouse brains confirmed the strong reduction in tumor volume upon VAL-083 treatment (Supplementary Fig. 6e, online resource). This was paralleled by an increase in DNA damage in tumor cells, determined by H2AX phosphorylation (H2AX-P) (Supplementary Fig. 6f, online resource). Limited H2AX-P was also seen in normal brain cells close to the meninges and the subventricular zone, but to a much lower extent than in tumor cells. In summary, this study shows that VAL-083 has a consistently favorable drug profile against GBM; thus, representing a promising candidate for GBM treatment either alone or in combination with antiangiogenic compounds.
