Tomivosertib is an orally active MNK1/2 inhibitor (IC50 = 1–2nM). Tomivosertib specifically downregulates the translation of key oncogenic factors (Cyclin D1 and c-Myc) and immune checkpoint proteins (PD-L1) by inhibiting the phosphorylation of eIF4E at serine 209. Tomivosertib can be used in research related to acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer, lymphoma, non‑small cell lung cancer, and prostate cancer[1-4].
In vitro, Tomivosertib (0–100nM) treated breast cancer cell lines (MDA‑MB‑231, MDA‑MB‑468, MCF7, T47D, SUM149) for 24 hours. Tomivosertib significantly inhibited the expression of PD‑L1 and PD‑L2, suppressed eIF4E phosphorylation, inhibited global translation, and increased chemosensitivity[5]. Tomivosertib (0.1–10μM) treated acute myeloid leukemia cell lines such as U937, MV411, and MM6 for 1–4 hours. Tomivosertib significantly inhibited phosphorylation of eIF4E at serine 209, reduced cell viability, and impaired clonogenic capacity[6].
In vivo, Tomivosertib (10mg/kg; five days per week) was administered orally to pancreatic cancer mouse models, combined with a ketogenic diet, for two weeks. Tomivosertib significantly suppressed pancreatic tumor growth, lowered blood β‑hydroxybutyrate levels, and inhibited the translation of PPARα and Hmgcs2 in the liver[7]. Tomivosertib (10mg/kg; daily oral administration) was given to C57BL/6J wild‑type (WT) mice, 4EKI mice, or MNK1 knockout (KO) mice that had undergone spared nerve injury (SNI) surgery, for 7 days. Tomivosertib reversed the deficits in rule-shifting tasks, spontaneous pain in SNI mice, and rescued the shortening of the axon initial segment (AIS) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | U937, MV411, MM6, KG-1, and THP-1 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, as well as primary leukemic precursors from AML patients |
Preparation Method | Cells were cultured as previously described. For viability and clonogenic assays, cells were treated with Tomivosertib at indicated doses. For eIF4E phosphorylation assessment, cells were treated with increasing doses of Tomivosertib. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.1μM to 10μM; 1-4h |
Applications | Tomivosertib abrogated phosphorylation of eIF4E on serine 209 at 0.1μM, demonstrating potent inhibition of MNK1/2 activity. Tomivosertib resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of cellular viability in AML cell lines, with greatest suppressive activity against MV411, MM6 and KG-1 cells. Tomivosertib significantly inhibited leukemic progenitor (CFU-L) colony formation in KG-1, MV411, and MM6 cells, and also showed inhibitory effects on primary leukemic precursors from AML patients. Combination of Tomivosertib with Venetoclax resulted in synergistic inhibitory effects on cellular viability and CFU-L growth. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice, 4EKI mice (with a mutation at the MNK1/2 phosphorylation site of eIF4E), and MNK1 knockout (KO) mice |
Preparation Method | Mice underwent spared nerve injury (SNI) surgery (ligation and cutting of the tibial and peroneal branches of the left sciatic nerve) or sham surgery. For rule-shifting, marble burying, von Frey, and histology experiments, Tomivosertib was administered orally (p.o.) daily for 7 days, with the last injection 1 hour before behavioral testing. For the conditioned place preference (CPP) experiment, Tomivosertib was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). Rule-shifting was assessed on day 21 post-SNI. Mice were perfused at 3 weeks post-surgery for immunohistochemistry. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; oral (p.o.); daily for 7 days |
Applications | Tomivosertib reversed PNI-induced deficits in an attentional rule-shifting task (a measure of cognitive flexibility), reversed spontaneous pain as assessed by conditioned place preference (CPP), and rescued maladaptive shortening of axon initial segments (AIS) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of PNI mice. Tomivosertib had no effect on mechanical withdrawal thresholds (mechanical allodynia). |
