Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) HCl

InformationAlvespimycin (17-DMAG) HCl Alvespimycin (17-DMAG, NSC 707545, BMS 826476, KOS 1022) HCl is a potent HSP90 inhibitor with IC50 of 62 nM in a cell-free assay. Phase 2.In vitro17-DMAG displays ~2 times potency against human Hsp90 than 17-AAG, with IC50 of 62 nM versus 119 nM. In SKBR3 and SKOV3 cells which over-express Hsp90 client protein Her2, 17-DMAG causes down-regulation of Her2 with EC50 of 8 nM and 46 nM, respectively, as well as induction of Hsp70 with EC50 of 4 nM and 14 nM, respectively, leading to significant cytotoxicity with GI50 of 29 nM and 32 nM, respectively, consistent with Hsp90 inhibition. 17-DMAG in combination with vorinostat synergistically induces apoptosis of the cultured MCL cells as well as primary MCL cells, more potently than either agent alone, by markedly attenuating the levels of cyclin D1 and CDK4, as well as of c-Myc, c-RAF and Akt. In contrast to 17-AAG which is only active for IKKβ in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, 17-DMAG treatment effectively leads to depletion of the Hsp90 client protein, resulting in diminished NF-κB p50/p65 DNA binding, decreased NF-κB target gene transcription, and caspase-dependent apoptosis. By targeting the NF-κB family, 17-DMAG selectively mediates dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity against CLL cells, but not normal T cells or NK cells important for immune surveillance.In vivo17-DMAG treatment at 5 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg thrice per week significantly reduces tumor growth of TMK-1 xenografts, by significantly reducing vessel area and numbers of proliferating tumor cells in sections. Consistent the inhibition of FAK signaling in vivo, 17-DMAG treatment at 25 mg/kg three times a week significantly suppresses tumor growth, and metastasis of ME180 and SiHa xenografts in mice. Administration of 17-DMAG at 10 mg/kg for 16 days significantly decreases the white blood cell count and prolongs the survival in a TCL1-SCID transplant mouse model.Cell Datacell lines：Concentrations：Dissolved in DMSO, final concentrations ~1 μMIncubation Time：24, or 48 hoursPowder Purity:≥99%.
