Description of RG7388

RG7388 is an orally active MDM2 antagonist (IC50=6nM) that activates the p53 pathway by inhibiting the MDM2-p53 interaction[1-2]. RG7388 can induce cell cycle arrest to reduce tumor cell proliferation and is applicable for research related to acute myeloid leukemia and solid tumors[3-4].

In vitro, treatment of TP53 wild-type T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell line MOLT-3 with RG7388 (0-90nM) for 24-72 hours, RG7388 induced p53-dependent stabilization and accumulation of p53 protein, upregulated the expression of the pro-apoptotic BH3 domain genes BAX and BBC3 (PUMA), and increased caspase-3/7 activity and apoptosis[5]. Treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines HCT116 and RKO with RG7388 (1µM) for 24 hours, RG7388 induced p53 protein accumulation. In combination with the HSP90 inhibitor Ganetespib (50nM), RG7388 synergistically reduced cell viability and confluence, and increased cell death and PARP-1 cleavage[6].

In vivo, oral co-administration of RG7388 (40-75mg/kg) with the ALK inhibitor Lorlatinib (10mg/kg) in ALK-amplified neuroblastoma PDX model (GR-NB4) mice (5 times per week for 2-3 weeks) leads to complete tumor regression. The combination therapy enhances apoptotic effects in vivo by activating the p53-BAX pathway[7]. Oral administration of RG7388 (25mg/kg/day) to tumor-bearing (KCNR or KP-N-YN cells) mice (once daily for 3 weeks), RG7388 significantly inhibits tumor growth as a monotherapy. In combination with the BCL-2 inhibitor Venetoclax (100mg/kg), RG7388 induces complete remission or partial tumor regression and significantly delays tumor recurrence[8].

Protocol of RG7388

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MOLT-3 cells (human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line) and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) T-ALL cells

Preparation Method

MOLT-3 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Isogenic control and TP53 knockout MOLT-3 cells were treated with RG7388 at concentrations of 30–90nM for 24–72hours.

Reaction Conditions

30–90nM; 24-72 hours.

Applications

RG7388 significantly induced p53 protein stabilization and accumulation in TP53-wildtype MOLT-3 cells, leading to upregulation of pro-apoptotic genes BAX and BBC3 (PUMA) at RNA and protein levels. RG7388 treatment resulted in increased caspase-3/7 activity and apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Th-ALKF1174L/MYCN genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models (GR-NB4, IC-pPDX-112, HSJD-NB-012)

Preparation Method

Tumor-bearing mice were treated with RG7388 orally at 40-75mg/kg daily on a 5-days-on/2-days-off schedule for 14-21 days, either alone or in combination with Lorlatinib (10mg/kg). Tumor volume was monitored by MRI or caliper measurements.

Dosage form

40-75mg/kg; oral gavage; Daily administration (5 days/week for 2-3 weeks).

Applications

RG7388 monotherapy showed modest tumor growth inhibition in 3 of 4 PDX models, with complete resistance observed in an ETP-ALL model. However, RG7388 combined with Lorlatinib resulted in complete tumor regression in ALK-amplified GR-NB4 PDX models and significantly delayed tumor regrowth across multiple neuroblastoma models.
