POMHEX is a cell-permeable POM prodrug of HEX, a specific inhibitor of enolase 2 (ENO2). POMHEX can be used in studies related to ENO1-deficient cancers such as glioblastoma (GBM) and glycolytic metabolic reprogramming[1-4].
In vitro, POMHEX (35–50nM) was applied to oligodendroglioma cells (SF10417, BT88, BT54, TS603, NCH612) for 72 hours. POMHEX inhibited ENO2-dependent enolase activity, suppressed cell proliferation, and arrested cell cycle progression[5]. POMHEX (10μM) was applied to bevacizumab-resistant/regorafenib-resistant colorectal cancer cells (HCT116, SW620) for 24 hours. POMHEX reduced intracellular levels of the ENO2-derived metabolite phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and downregulated signaling along the PEP–HDAC1–β-catenin axis, thereby inhibiting β-catenin transcriptional activity. When combined with anti-angiogenic agents (bevacizumab/regorafenib), POMHEX further impaired the survival of drug-resistant cells[6].
In vivo, POMHEX (10mg/kg; once weekly; intra-articular injection) was administered to C57BL/6J mice for 16 consecutive weeks. POMHEX alleviated cartilage destruction and matrix loss in age-related osteoarthritis, maintained cartilage proteoglycan content and anabolic phenotype, suppressed catabolic expression including MMP3/MMP13, reduced osteophyte formation and improved subchondral bone microstructural changes, and relieved pain abnormalities[7]. POMHEX (20mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; every other day) combined with bevacizumab (10mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly) was given to BALB/c nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of bevacizumab-resistant HCT116 colorectal cancer for 15 days. The combination of POMHEX and bevacizumab inhibited tumor growth, reduced Ac-K49-β-catenin signaling activity in tumor tissues, decreased Ki67-positive proliferating cells and CD31-positive microvessel density, and increased cleaved caspase-3-positive apoptotic signals[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HCT116 (human colorectal carcinoma), SW620 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma) |
Preparation Method | Cells were maintained in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin–streptomycin at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO₂. Regorafenib-resistant HCT116 and SW620 cells were treated with POMHEX at 10μM, either alone or in combination with regorafenib (10μM). |
Reaction Conditions | 10μM; 24h |
Applications | POMHEX reduced the intracellular phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) concentration in bevacizumab-resistant HCT116 cells, reduced the protein levels of Ac-K49-β-catenin and the neuroendocrine differentiation marker SYP in drug-resistant CRC cells, inhibited β-catenin transcriptional activity in both bevacizumab-resistant and regorafenib-resistant CRC cells, and synergized with regorafenib (10μM) to reduce the viability of regorafenib-resistant CRC cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | 18-month-old male C57BL/6J mice (natural aging-related osteoarthritis model) |
Preparation Method | Mice were anesthetized with ketamine hydrochloride (200mg/kg) and xylazine (10mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection, and POMHEX was administered into the knee joint via intra-articular injection using a 30-gauge needle once weekly for 16 weeks. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; intra-articular injection; once weekly for 16 weeks |
Applications | POMHEX improved cartilage integrity with smoother articular surfaces, enhanced proteoglycan content and elevated anabolic marker (collagen II) expression while reducing catabolic markers (MMP3, MMP13) and p53 protein levels in articular cartilage; micro-CT analysis revealed reduced osteophyte formation and improved subchondral bone architecture with lower OA pathology scores; POMHEX additionally alleviated pain sensitivity and normalized gait parameters. |
