Помалидомид

Описание

In February 2013, the US FDA approved pomalidomide (also known as CC4047) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) in patients with disease progression after receiving other cancer therapeutics. Pomalidomide is a 4-amino analog of thalidomide with enhanced potency and an improved toxicity profile. Pomalidomide and thalidomide exert their effects by modulation of immunity, inhibition of angiogenesis, interference with the bone/tumor microenvironment, and inhibition of the cereblon protein. Pomalidomide potently inhibited in vitro proliferation in a variety of human MM cell lines, IC₅₀～10 nM, while thalidomide showed almost no inhibition up to 100 μM. In mouse MM tumor models, 50 mg/kg daily doses of pomalidomide resulted in marked inhibition of tumor growth after 15 days of treatment and complete regression in 3–6 weeks versus thalidomide-treated controls at the same dose. Pomalidomide is prepared by condensation of 4-nitrophthalic anhydride with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro group.

Определение

ChEBI: Pomalidomide is an aromatic amine that is thalidomide substituted at position 4 on the isoindole ring system by an amino group. Used for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who failed to respond to previous therapies. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an immunomodulator and an angiogenesis inhibitor. It is a dicarboximide, a member of isoindoles, a member of piperidones and an aromatic amine. It is functionally related to a thalidomide.
