Human constitutive androstane receptor agonist DL5016: A novel sensitizer for cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapies
摘要:
The DNA alkylating prodrug cyclophosphamide (CPA), alone or in combination with other agents, is one of the most commonly used anti-cancer agents. As a prodrug, CPA is activated by cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6), which is transcriptionally regulated by the human constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR). Therefore, hCAR agonists represent novel sensitizers for CPA-based therapies. Among known hCAR agonists, compound 6-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazo-[2,1-b]thiazole-5-carbaldehyde-O-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl) oxime (CITCO) is the most potent and broadly utilized in biological studies. Through structural modification of CITCO, we have developed a novel compound DL5016 (32), which has an EC50 value of 0.66 mu M and E-MAX value of 4.9 when activating hCAR. DL5016 robustly induced the expression of hCAR target gene CYP2B6, at both the mRNA and protein levels, and caused translocation of hCAR from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in human primary hepatocytes. The effects of DL5016 were highlighted by dramatically enhancing the efficacy of CPA-based cytotoxicity to non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

The invention relates to selective small molecule human constitutive androstane receptor (hCAR) activators of Formula (I) or (II), pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and use thereof for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and other cancers. The small molecule hCAR activator in combination with CPA based chemotherapy regimen provides a synergistic effect to help promote cytoxicity of the cyclophosphamide (CPA) based anticancer treatments including CHOP regimen (CPA, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) by preferential induction of CYP2B6 over CYP3A4 and promoting the formation of therapeutically active CPA metabolite 4-OH-CPA.
