[CAS NO. 1025065-69-3]  SGI-1776 free base

In addition to Pim, SGI-1776 also potently targets FLT3 (IC50 = 44nM). Treatment of AML cells with SGI-1776 results in a concentration-dependent induction of apoptosis. Importantly, SGI-1776 is also cytotoxic in AML primary cells, irrespective of FLT3 mutation status and results in Mcl-1 protein decline. Treatment of CLL cells with SGI-1776 results in a concentration-dependent induction of apoptosis. SGI-1776 induces apoptosis in CLL and that the mechanism involves Mcl-1 reduction. Apoptosis induction coupled with the inhibition of RNA synthesis is observed in CLL cells treated with SGI-1776. SGI-1776 exhibites cytotoxic activity in vitro with a median relative IC50 of 3.1 mM. SGI-1776 induces tumor growth inhibition meeting criteria for intermediate EFS T/C activity in 1 of 39 evaluable models. In contrast, SGI-1776 induces complete responses of subcutaneous MV4;11.
