Description of AMG-176

AMG-176 is a selective myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) inhibitor (Ki=0.13nM). AMG-176 disrupts the interaction between MCL-1 and BIM or BAK. AMG-176 rapidly induces apoptosis in hematopoietic tumor cells. AMG-176 can be used in studies related to hematologic malignancies such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and B-cell lymphoma. AMG-176 exhibits synergistic antitumor activity with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in AML models[1-4].

In vitro, treatment of MEC1 and Mino cells with 500nM AMG-176 for 12-24 hours upregulated Mcl-1 protein levels, increased cleaved PARP expression, and induced apoptosis[5]. Treatment of CLL lymphocytes with 100nM-300nM AMG-176 for 24 hours caused cell death, increased mitochondrial levels of Mcl-1, Bax, and Bak proteins, reduced mitochondrial cytochrome C while increasing cytosolic cytochrome C, and induced procaspase-3 cleavage and PARP cleavage[6]. Co-treatment of C002M, C057M, and C065M cells with 5µM AMG-176 and 2µM I-BET151 for 72 hours increased the proportion of apoptotic cells[7].

In vivo, SCID mice bearing subcutaneous Ramos cell xenografts received oral gavage of 60mg/kg AMG-176 on days 3, 4, 10, and 11 (four doses total). AMG-176 significantly prolonged mouse survival and reduced subcutaneous tumor volume[8]. NSG mice bearing mixed TP53-WT Molm13 and TP53-R248W Molm13 cell xenografts via tail vein injection received oral gavage of 30mg/kg AMG-176 on days 2 and 3 of each week until survival endpoint. AMG-176 reduced circulating Molm13 cells[9]. NSG-SGM3 mice receiving tail vein injection of T-cell-depleted bone marrow mononuclear cells from myelodysplastic syndrome patients received oral gavage of 30mg/kg AMG-176 for 2 consecutive weeks (first two days of each week). AMG-176 reduced the engraftment rate of exogenous CD45+ cells in mouse bone marrow[10].

Protocol of AMG-176

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

C002M cells (human melanoma cell line), C057M cells (human melanoma cell line), C065M cells (human melanoma cell line)

Preparation Method

C002M, C057M and C065M cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were treated with 5µM AMG-176 and 2µM I-BET151 alone or in combination for 72 hours. After treatment, apoptotic cell death was quantified by Annexin V and propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry analysis.

Reaction Conditions

5µM; 72h

Applications

AMG-176 combined with I-BET151 induced synergistic apoptotic cell death in C002M, C057M and C065M cells. AMG-176 alone at 5µM did not induce significant apoptotic cell death in C002M, C057M and C065M cells over 72 hours.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

6-8-week-old SCID mice (SCID C.B-Igh-1 b/lcrTac-Prkdcscid/Ros) bearing subcutaneous Ramos human Burkitt lymphoma xenografts

Preparation Method

Mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 10×10⁶ Ramos cells on day 0. When tumors became palpable on day 18, mice were divided into cohorts. AMG-176 was administered by oral gavage at 60mg/kg in 100μL on days 3,4,10,11. Survival was defined as time to tumor size >2cm; subcutaneous tumor volume was measured serially.

Dosage form

60mg/kg; p.o. gavage; days 3,4,10,11 (total of 4 doses)

Applications

AMG-176 at 60mg/kg prolonged survival in Ramos subcutaneous xenograft-bearing SCID mice. AMG-176 at 60mg/kg reduced subcutaneous Ramos tumor volume.
