Design and synthesis of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole selective HDAC6 inhibitors with potential therapy for multiple myeloma. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 261:115833. [PMID: 37797564 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
Pan-HDAC inhibitors exhibit significant inhibitory activity against multiple myeloma, however, their clinical applications have been hampered by substantial toxic side effects. In contrast, selective HDAC6 inhibitors have demonstrated effectiveness in treating multiple myeloma. Compounds belonging to the class of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydroxamic acids have been identified as novel HDAC6 inhibitors, with the benzimidazole group serving as a specific linker for these inhibitors. Notably, compound 30 has exhibited outstanding HDAC6 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.63 nM) and superior antiproliferative effects against human multiple myeloma cells, specifically RPMI-8226. Moreover, it has been shown to induce cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase and promote apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. In a myeloma RPMI-8226 xenograft model, compound 30 has demonstrated significant in vivo antitumor efficacy (T/C = 34.8%) when administered as a standalone drug, with no observable cytotoxicity. These findings underscore the immense potential of compound 30 as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

PNOC015: Repeated convection-enhanced delivery of MTX110 (aqueous panobinostat) in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Neuro Oncol 2023; 25:2074-2086. [PMID: 37318058 PMCID: PMC10628948 DOI: 10.1093/neuonc/noad105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the safety, tolerability, and distribution of MTX110 (aqueous panobinostat) delivered by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) who completed focal radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Patients with DIPG (2-21 years) were enrolled after RT. CED of MTX110 combined with gadoteridol was completed across 7 dose levels (DL) (30-90 µM; volumes ranging from 3 mL to 2 consecutive doses of 6 mL). An accelerated dose escalation design was used. Distribution of infusate was monitored with real-time MR imaging. Repeat CED was performed every 4-8 weeks. Quality-of-life (QoL) assessments were obtained at baseline, every 3 months on therapy, and end of therapy. RESULTS Between May 2018 and March 2020, 7 patients who received a total of 48 CED infusions, were enrolled (median age 8 years, range 5-21). Three patients experienced dose-limited toxicities. Four grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were observed. Most toxicities were transient new or worsening neurologic function. Median overall survival (OS) was 26.1 months (95% confidence interval: 14.8-not reached). Progression-free survival was 4-14 months (median, 7). Cumulative percentage of tumor coverage for combined CED infusions per patient ranged from 35.6% to 81.0%. Increased CED infusions were negatively associated with self-reported QoL assessments. CONCLUSION Repeat CED of MTX110 with real-time imaging with gadoteridol is tolerable for patients with DIPG. Median OS of 26.1 months compares favorably with historical data for children with DIPG. The results support further investigation of this strategy in a larger cohort.

Inhibition of PI3K Class IA Kinases Using GDC-0941 Overcomes Cytoprotection of Multiple Myeloma Cells in the Osteoclastic Bone Marrow Microenvironment Enhancing the Efficacy of Current Clinical Therapeutics. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:462. [PMID: 36672411 PMCID: PMC9856454 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15020462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoclasts contribute to bone marrow (BM)-mediated drug resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) by providing cytoprotective cues. Additionally, 80% of patients develop osteolytic lesions, which is a major cause of morbidity in MM. Although targeting osteoclast function is critical to improve MM therapies, pre-clinical studies rarely consider overcoming osteoclast-mediated cytoprotection within the selection criteria of drug candidates. We have performed a drug screening and identified PI3K as a key regulator of a signalling node associated with resistance to dexamethasone lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and bortezomib mediated by osteoclasts and BM fibroblastic stromal cells, which was blocked by the pan-PI3K Class IA inhibitor GDC-0941. Additionally, GDC-0941 repressed the maturation of osteoclasts derived from MM patients and disrupted the organisation of the F-actin cytoskeleton in sealing zones required for bone degradation, correlating with decreased bone resorption by osteoclasts. In vivo, GDC-0941 improved the efficacy of dexamethasone against MM in the syngeneic GFP-5T33/C57-Rawji mouse model. Taken together, our results indicate that GDC-0941 in combination with currently used therapeutic agents could effectively kill MM cells in the presence of the cytoprotective BM microenvironment while inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts. These data support investigating GDC-0941 in combination with currently used therapeutic drugs for MM patients with active bone disease.
