Description
XL-223 is a potent BET inhibitor effective in endocrine-resistant ER+ breast cancer with acquired resistance to fulvestrant and palbociclib. XL-223 was more potent in MCF-7:CFR cells than six BET inhibitors in clinical trials. Transcriptomic analysis differentiated XL-223 from the benchmark BETi, JQ-1, showing downregulation of oncogenes and upregulation of tumor suppressors and apoptosis. The therapeutic approach was validated by oral administration of XL-223 in orthotopic xenografts of endocrine-resistant breast cancer in monotherapy and in combination with fulvestrant. Importantly, at an equivalent dose in rats, thrombocytopenia was mitigated.
Uses
XP-524 is a potent BET and EP300 inhibitor. XP-524 shows great tumoricidal activity in vivo. XP-524 prevents KRAS-induced, neoplastic transformation in vivo and extends survival in two transgenic mouse models of aggressive PDAC. XP-524 also enhances the presentation of self-peptide and tumor recruitment of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. XP-524 has the potential for the research of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)[1].
