Description
OTX015 is a potent BET bromodomain inhibitor with EC50 ranging from 10 to 19 nM for BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 in cell-free assays. Phase 1.
-
Features
Orally bioavailable BRD2/3/4-selective inhibitor that has been tested in Phase I clinical trials for treatment of Haematological Malignancies.
-
In vitro
OTX015 inhibits the binding of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 to AcH4 with IC50 ranging from 92 to 112 nM, and inhibits the growth of a variety of human cancer cell lines with GI50 ranging from 60 to 200 nM. OTX015 results in rapid down-regulation of c-MYC expression, and show the synergistic anti-proliferative effects in combination with ALK inhibitors in ALKpos ALCL cell lines.
-
In vivo
OTX015 (p.o.) significantly inhibits the growth of Ty82 BRD-NUT midline carcinoma tumors in nude mice by 79% at 100 mg/kg qd and 61% at 10 mg/kg bid, respectively.

Description
The bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family of proteins, including BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4, play a key role in many cellular processes, including inflammatory gene expression, mitosis, and viral/host interaction by controlling the assembly of histone acetylation-dependent chromatin complexes. OTX015 is an orally bioavailable, small molecule inhibitor of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 (EC50s = 10-19 nM).1 It displays antiproliferative effects at a sub-micromolar range in vitro in a wide range of solid tumor types and leukemias, downregulating c-Myc expression and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.1,2,3 At 100 mg/kg, OTX015 has been shown to inhibit the growth of Ty82 BRD-NUT midline carcinoma tumors in nude mice by 79%.1

Uses
(S)-2-(4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2,3,9-trimethyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepin-6-yl)-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide is an orally bioavailable, inhibitor of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 to AcH4 and shows anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo tumor models.
-
Biochem/physiol Actions
It binds to bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins and inhibits their binding to the chromatin. This in turn prevents gene transcription. OTX015 has been shown to inhibit proliferation of cells in haematological malignancies.
