GDC-0152

GDC-0152 is a potent small-molecule antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, including ML-IAP, XIAP, cIAP1 and cIAP2, that binds to the BIR domain of ML-IAP and the BIR3 domains of XIAP, cIAP1 and cIAP2 with values of inhibition constant K_i of 14 nM, 28 nM, 17 nM and 43 nM respectively. GDC-0152 potentially inhibits tumor growth of breast cancer by promoting cIAP1 degradation and inducing caspase-3/7 activation which result in the decreasing of cell viability of breast cancer cells with normal epithelial cells unaffected. In recent studies, GDC-0152 shows its ability to disrupt the binding of XIAP to caspase-9 and the association of ML-IAP, cIAP1 and cIAP2 with Smac in HEK293T cells.

Evaluation of metabolism and disposition of GDC-0152 in rats using 14C labeling strategy at two different positions: a novel formation of hippuric acid from 4-phenyl-5-amino-1,2,3-thiadiazole.[Pubmed:23223496]

Drug Metab Dispos. 2013 Feb;41(2):508-17.

The compound (S)-1-[(S)-2-cyclohexyl-2-([S]-2-[methylamino]propanamido)acetyl]-N-(4-phenyl-1,2 ,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (GDC-0152) is a peptidomimetic small molecule antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins with antitumor activity. The mass balance, pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and metabolism of GDC-0152 was investigated in rats following intravenous administration of 15 mg/kg of [(14)C]GDC-0152, labeled either at the terminal phenyl ring (A) or at the carbonyl of the 2-amino-2-cyclohexylacetyl moiety (B). In rats, 92.2%-95.1% of the radiolabeled GDC-0152 dose was recovered. Approximately 62.3% and 25.1% of A was excreted in urine and feces, respectively. By contrast, B was excreted almost equally in urine (27.2%), feces (32.2%), and expired air (27.5%). GDC-0152 underwent extensive metabolism, with less than 9% of the dose recovered as parent in excreta. Similarly, in plasma, GDC-0152 represented 16.7% and 7.5% of the area under the curve of the total radioactivity for A and B, respectively. The terminal half-life (t(1/2)) for total radioactivity was longer for B (21.2 hours) than for A (4.59 hours). GDC-0152 was highly metabolized via oxidation and amide hydrolysis, followed by subsequent sulfation and glucuronidation. The most abundant circulating metabolites were the amide hydrolyzed products, M26, M28, M30, M31, and M34, which ranged from 3.5% to 9.0% of total radioactivity. In quantitative whole-body autoradiography studies, the residence of radioactivity in tissues was longer for B than for A, which is consistent with the t(1/2) of the total radioactivity in circulation. A novel 4-phenyl-5-amino-1,2,3-thiadiazole (M28) oxidative cleavage resulted in the formation of hippuric acid (M24). This biotransformation was also observed in rat hepatocyte incubations with para-substituted M28 analogs. In addition, the formation of M24 was inhibited by 1-aminobenzotriazole, which points to the involvement of P450 enzymes.

GDC-0152 attenuates the malignant progression of osteosarcoma promoted by ANGPTL2 via PI3K/AKT but not p38MAPK signaling pathway.[Pubmed:25651778]

Int J Oncol. 2015 Apr;46(4):1651-8.

Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) plays an important role in inflammatory carcinogenesis and tumor metastasis. The compound GDC-0152 is a peptidomimetic small molecule antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins with antitumor activity. However, the interaction between ANGPTL2 and GDC-0152 has not been studied. It has been proven that ANGPTL2 promotes metastasis of osteosarcoma. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of GDC-0152 on the malignant progression of osteosarcoma promoted by ANGPTL2 was investigated. Human osteosarcoma cell line SaOS2 cells were pre-treated or non-treated with GDC-0152 and then exposed to recombinant human ANGPTL2. The viability of SaOS2 cells was determined by MTT assay, the migration of SaOS2 cells was analyzed by chamber migration assay kit, and the SaOS2 cell apoptosis was determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and nuclear staining. Treatment with ANGPTL2 increased SaOS2 cell growth and migration and decreased cell apoptosis. The increased cell growth and decreased cell apoptosis were significantly attenuated in SaOS2 cells receiving GDC-0152. However, the ANGPTL2-increased SaOS2 cell migration was not inhibited by GDC-0152 treatment. Furthermore, western blot analysis showed that the activation of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K) (p85), PI3K (p110), protein kinase B (Akt) (Ser473), Akt (Thr308) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) were upregulated by ANGPTL2. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qTR-PCR) and gelatin zymography showed that the mRNA expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) were also increased by ANGPTL2. The upregulated activation of PI3K and Akt were significantly suppressed by the treatment of GDC-0152. In contrast, GDC-0152 did not suppress ANGPTL2-induced p38MAPK phosphorylation, MMP-9/MMP-2 mRNA expression or MMP-9/MMP-2 activity. Taken together, these data indicate that GDC-0152 attenuates the malignant progression of osteosarcoma promoted by ANGPTL2 via PI3K/AKT but not p38MAPK signaling pathway. The present study indicated a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit tumor growth by indirectly preventing ANGPTL2 signaling.

Inhibitor of apoptosis protein expression in glioblastomas and their in vitro and in vivo targeting by SMAC mimetic GDC-0152.[Pubmed:27490930]

Cell Death Dis. 2016 Aug 4;7(8):e2325.

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most aggressive primary brain tumors in adult and remain a therapeutic challenge. Targeting key apoptosis regulators with the ultimate aim to restore apoptosis in tumor cells could be an interesting therapeutic strategy. The inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are regulators of cell death and represent attractive targets, especially because they can be antagonized by SMAC mimetics. In this study, we first investigated the expression of cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP and ML-IAP in human GBM samples and in four different cell lines. We showed that all GBM samples and GBM cell lines expressed all these IAPs, although the expression of each IAP varied from one case to another. We then showed that high level of ML-IAP predicted worse progression-free survival and overall survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses in two independent cohorts of 58 and 43 primary human GBMs. We then used GDC-0152, a SMAC mimetic that antagonizes these IAPs and confirmed that GDC-0152 treatment in vitro decreased IAPs in all the cell lines studied. It affected cell line viability and triggered apoptosis, although the effect was higher in U87MG and GL261 than in GBM6 and GBM9 cell lines. In vivo, GDC-0152 effect on U87MG orthotopic xenografts was dose dependent; it postponed tumor formation and slowed down tumor growth, significantly improving survival of GBM-bearing mice. This study revealed for the first time that ML-IAP protein expression correlates with GBM patient survival and that its antagonist GDC-0152 improves outcome in xenografted mouse.

GDC-0152 induces apoptosis through down-regulation of IAPs in human leukemia cells and inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.[Pubmed:25273171]

Tumour Biol. 2015 Feb;36(2):577-84.

The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) is closely related to leukemia apoptosis. The present study was undertaken to determine the molecular mechanisms by which GDC-0152, an IAP inhibitor, induces apoptosis in human leukemia cells (K562 and HL60 cells). GDC-0152 inhibited the proliferation of K562 and HL60 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which was largely attributed to intrinsic apoptosis. GDC-0152 down-regulated the IAPs including X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1 (cIAP1), and cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-2 (cIAP2) expression and induced the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. GDC-0152-induced cell proliferation inhibition in K562 cells was prevented by pan-caspase inhibitor. GDC-0152 also inhibited PI3K and Akt expression in K562 and HL60 cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that GDC-0152 results in human leukemia apoptosis through caspase-dependent mechanisms involving down-regulation of IAPs and inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling.

GDC-0152 is a potent IAPs inhibitor, and binds to the BIR3 domains of XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2 and the BIR domain of ML-IAP with Ki values of 28 nM, 17 nM, 43 nM and 14 nM, respectively.
