abstract 5121 peg e tc11 a novel polyethylene glycol linked Phthalimide Derivative inhibited high risk mm cell growthin vivoandin vitrovia cell cycle g2 m arrest in a crbn independent manner
Cancer Research, 2017Co-Authors: Shuji Aida, Masashi Hozumi, Daiju Ichikawa, Kazuki Iida, Misa Nakamura, Ryo Uozaki, Nahoko Hashimoto, Mikio Okayama, Yuko Yonemura, Noriko TabataAbstract:Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the hematological malignancy that is characterized by proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Recent advance in the treatment of MM using newly developed drugs, prognosis of the MM patients have been significantly improved. For example, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide have been developed for treatment of MM. However, IMiDs have only limited effects against MM patients with high risk chromosomal abnormalities such as t(4;14) and del17p (high-risk MM). In 2010, it was reported that IMiDs directly bind to cereblon (CRBN), a component of ubiquitin ligase 3 complex, and induced teratogenicity as well as anti-tumor effects. We have previously reported that a novel Phthalimide Derivative, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (TC11) induced apoptosis against high-risk MM cells in vivo and in vitro, and inhibited differentiation of osteoclasts. We also reported that TC11 directly bound to α-tubulin and nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1), but did not bind to CRBN. However, TC11 was not well dissolved in water with only 0.02 mg/mL solubility. Therefore, TC11 showed poor absorption into blood and limited anti-tumor activity when it was intraperitoneally administered in tumor-bearing mice. To resolve these problems, we synthesized PEG(E)-TC11, in which TC11 is linked to polyethylene glycol through an ester bond, and consequently enhanced water solubility of PEG(E)-TC11 to 88.9 mg/mL. PEG(E)-TC11 revealed as potent growth inhibitory effect on high-risk MM cells as TC11 in vitro. In pharmacokinetic study, PEG-modification of TC11 improved the peak blood concentration (Cmax) from 2.6 to 24.4 μM and extended elimination half-life (t1/2) from 1.4 to 2.2 hr when 186 μM/kg of these compounds were intraperitoneally injected. More importantly, these pharmacokinetic improvement led to more potent growth inhibition of MM cells in vivo than TC11. We also explored mechanisms of anti-myeloma effect of PEG(E)-TC11 and found that PEG(E)-TC11 induced apoptosis via G2/M cell cycle arrest. However, unlike IMiDs family, BIACORE assay revealed that PEG(E)-TC11 didn’t directly bind to CRBN, indicating that growth inhibitory effect of PEG(E)-TC11 against MM cells was independent of binding to CRBN. In conclusion, PEGylation of TC11 significantly increased water solubility, resulted in potentiated anti-myeloma activity in vivo. Furthermore, PEG(E)-TC11 inhibited cell growth via G2/M arrest in a CRBN-independent manner. Thus, PEG(E)-TC11 is considered as a candidate compound for overcoming high-risk MM.

a novel Phthalimide Derivative tc11 has preclinical effects on high risk myeloma cells and osteoclasts
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Maiko Matsushita, Yoshie Ozaki, Yuka Hasegawa, Fukiko Terada, Noriko Tabata, Hirokazu Shiheido, Hiroshi Yanagawa, Tsukasa Oikawa, Koichi Matsuo, Wenlin DuAbstract:Despite the recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), MM patients with high-risk cytogenetic changes such as t(4;14) translocation or deletion of chromosome 17 still have extremely poor prognoses. With the goal of helping these high-risk MM patients, we previously developed a novel Phthalimide Derivative, TC11. Here we report the further characterization of TC11 including anti-myeloma effects in vitro and in vivo, a pharmacokinetic study in mice, and anti-osteoclastogenic activity. Intraperitoneal injections of TC11 significantly delayed the growth of subcutaneous tumors in human myeloma-bearing SCID mice. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that TC11 induced apoptosis of MM cells in vivo. In the pharmacokinetic analyses, the Cmax was 2.1 μM at 1 h after the injection of TC11, with 1.2 h as the half-life. TC11 significantly inhibited the differentiation and function of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts in mouse osteoclast cultures using M-CSF and RANKL. We also revealed that TC11 induced the apoptosis of myeloma cells accompanied by α-tubulin fragmentation. In addition, TC11 and lenalidomide, another Phthalimide Derivative, directly bound to nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), whose role in MM is unknown. Thus, through multiple molecular interactions, TC11 is a potentially effective drug for high-risk MM patients with bone lesions. The present results suggest the possibility of the further development of novel thalidomide Derivatives by drug designing.

development of a novel Phthalimide Derivative preclinical effects on high risk myeloma cells and osteoclasts
Blood, 2014Co-Authors: Yutaka Hattori, Maiko Matsushita, Noriko Tabata, Hirokazu Shiheido, Hiroshi Yanagawa, Arimi Ueda, Masashi Hozumi, Shotaro Kitabatake, Daiju IchikawaAbstract:BACKGROUND: Despite recent advances in the use of newly developed drugs including immune-modulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide and proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib, carfilzomib, and MLN9708, MM is still an incurable disease. In particular, MM patients harboring 17p deletion, t(14;16), t(14;20), or t(4;14) are classified as a high-risk group and have shown significantly shorter survival. With the goal of helping prolong the survival of these high-risk MM patients, we screened 29 synthetic Phthalimide Derivatives and found a novel compound, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1 H -isoindole-1,3-dione (TC11), which induced the apoptosis of KMS34 cells with t(4;14) and del17p13. PURPOSE: The purpose of this project is to clarify preclinical effects of the synthetic Phthalimide Derivative, TC11, on high-risk MM cell lines and osteoclasts. Namely, anti-myeloma and anti-osteoclastogenic activities and pharmacokinetic study in mice were shown. We also try to isolate directly binding molecules. Safety issues including hematological toxicities and teratogenicity were also discussed. METHODS AND RESULTS: TC11 significantly inhibited growth of MM cell lines (IC 50 4-8μM) including KMS34 and KMS11 cells which have high-risk chromosomal abnormalities. TC11 also suppressed the proliferation of all of the bone marrow cells obtained from the MM patients, in a dose-dependent manner. TC11 increased annexin V-positive fraction and induced apoptosis. TC11 was injected intraperitonealy into myeloma (KMS34 and KMS11 cells)-bearing lcr/SCID mice, and anti-myeloma activity was evaluated in vivo. Twenty mg/kg of TC11 significantly inhibited growth of KMS34 or KMS11-derived plasmacytomas. Apoptosis of MM cells was observed by histopathological examination. In order to evaluate hematological toxicity of TC11, growth of colony-forming cells was examined. In the presence of 5μM of TC11, formation of CFCs was not significantly suppressed, suggesting low hematopoietic toxicity. In the pharmacokinetic analyses using lcr mice, the plasma concentrations of TC11 was examined; C max was 18.1μM at 1.5hr (T max ), and T 1/2 was 2.5hr, when 100mg/kg of TC11 was injected. If 20mg/kg was injected, C max was 2.1μM at 1.0hr (T max ), and T 1/2 was 1.2hr. Oral administration of TC11 to Icr mice was safely carried out, and results of pharmacokinetic study will be shown. Aiming at the therapeutic use of TC11 to bone disease, anti-osteoclastogenic activity was examined. Mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells were incubated in the presence of M-CSF and RANK-ligand. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts was reduced in number in the presence of 1μM of TC11. It was also found that 1μM of TC11 inhibited bone resorption by pit assay. We have identified nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) and α-tubulin as TC11-binding molecules using our unique in vitro selection system using mRNA display, in vitro virus (IVV) method. However, cereblon (CRBN) was not detected as a TC11-binding protein by this method. The immunofluorescent analysis showed that TC11-treated cells exhibited elevated levels of α-tubulin fragmentation. Together with our previous observation of induction of centrosomal disruption of HeLa cells by NPM1-knock down, TC11 may cause anti-myeloma effects via mitotic catastrophe. CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated that TC11, a novel Phthalimide Derivative, has anti-tumor activity against MM cells with high-risk genetic abnormality including del 17p and t(4;14), in vitro and in vivo. This novel compound also down-regulates the differentiation and function of osteoclasts. Our data provide a strong preclinical rationale for TC11 as a safe and effective drug for the treatment of high-risk MM patients with bone disease. The actions of this drug relating to α-tubulin and NPM1 remain to be further investigated. TC11 exerts its anti-myeloma effect via molecular interactions which do not involve CRBN. In addition, TC11 does not form racemate and is expected to lack teratogenicity. The results of our present study suggest that new Phthalimide Derivatives other than thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide could be developed by drug designing for the treatment of MM.

tc11 a novel Phthalimide Derivative directly binds to npm1 and induced apoptosis of high risk myeloma cells via centrosomal disruption
Blood, 2012Co-Authors: Saito Sosei, Maiko Matsushita, Noriko Tabata, Hiroshi Yanagawa, Tsukasa Oikawa, Wenlin Du, Kana Yoshikawa, Taketo Yamada, Junya Seki, Kaoru TohyamaAbstract:Abstract 1841 PURPOSE: Despite recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), patients with high-risk chromosomal changes such as del13q, t(4;14) or del17p revealed significantly shorter survival. In addition, bone disease markedly reduces quality of life of the patients with MM. To overcome these problems, we have designed and screened synthetic Phthalimides which significantly inhibited the growth of MM cell lines with high-risk chromosomal abnormalities. The purposes of this study are to explore novel drugs which possess anti-tumor activity against high-risk MM cells and to examine the anti-osteoclastogenic activity and to isolate directly binding molecules. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty synthetic Phthalimides were screened for anti-proliferative effect on KMS34 cells with t(4;14) and deletion of chromosome 17. A Phthalimide Derivative, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)- 5-amino- 1H-isoindole- 1,3- dione (TC11) significantly inhibited growth of KMS34 cells as well as other MM cells lines with high-risk chromosomal abnormalities (IC 50 to KMS34 cells= 4μM). TC11 increased annexin V fraction and induced apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. In vivo anti-myeloma activity was evaluated using KMS34-bearing lcr/SCID mice by intraperitoneal injection of TC11. Twenty mg/kg of TC11 significantly inhibited growth of TC11-derived tumor cells, and apoptosis of MM cells was observed by histopathological examination. In order to evaluate hematological toxicity of TC11, growth of colony-forming cells was examined. In the presence of 5μM of TC11, formation of CFCs was not suppressed, suggesting low hematopoietic toxicity. In pharmacokinetic study using lcr/SCID mice, the plasma concentrations of TC11 was examined; C max =18.1μM, T max =1.5hr, T 1/2 =4.5hr when 100mg/kg of TC11 was injected, and C max =2.1μM T max =1.0hr, T 1/2 =4.5hr when 20mg/kg was injected. In order to examine efficacy to bone disease, anti-osteoclastogenic activity was examined by adding TC11 to M-CSF/RANK ligand-induced osteoclastogenic culture of mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells. The number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts was reduced in the presence of 1μM of TC11. It was also found that TC11 inhibited bone resorption by pit assay. We also tried to isolate directly binding proteins to TC11 by our unique in vitro selection system using mRNA display, in vitro virus (IVV) method. We identified nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) as a TC11-binding molecule. Knockdown assay introducing siRNA for NPM1 into HeLa cells induced emergence of the cells with multipolar spindles, suggesting centrosomal disruption during cell division. Since NPM1 gene localizes at chromosome 5q, anti-MDS effect of TC11 was also examined. TC11 also inhibited growth of MDS-L cells (IC50=7μM). CONCLUSION: A novel Phthalimide Derivative, TC11, has anti-MM activity in vivo and is a potentially effective drug for high-risk MM with bone lesions. TC11 directly binds to NPM1 and induces apoptosis of MM and MDS cells with low toxicity to normal hematopoiesis. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

a Phthalimide Derivative that inhibits centrosomal clustering is effective on multiple myeloma
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Hirokazu Shiheido, Fukiko Terada, Noriko Tabata, Wenlin Du, Taketo Yamada, Ichigo Hayakawa, Nobutaka Matsumura, Hideaki Takashima, Yoko Ogawa, Mitsuru ShojiAbstract:Despite the introduction of newly developed drugs such as lenalidomide and bortezomib, patients with multiple myeloma are still difficult to treat and have a poor prognosis. In order to find novel drugs that are effective for multiple myeloma, we tested the antitumor activity of 29 Phthalimide Derivatives against several multiple myeloma cell lines. Among these Derivatives, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1H-isoindole-1,3- dione (TC11) was found to be a potent inhibitor of tumor cell proliferation and an inducer of apoptosis via activation of caspase-3, 8 and 9. This compound also showed in vivo activity against multiple myeloma cell line KMS34 tumor xenografts in ICR/SCID mice. By means of mRNA display selection on a microfluidic chip, the target protein of TC11 was identified as nucleophosmin 1 (NPM). Binding of TC11 and NPM monomer was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance. Immunofluorescence and NPM knockdown studies in HeLa cells suggested that TC11 inhibits centrosomal clustering by inhibiting the centrosomal-regulatory function of NPM, thereby inducing multipolar mitotic cells, which undergo apoptosis. NPM may become a novel target for development of antitumor drugs active against multiple myeloma.

We also tried to isolate directly binding proteins to TC11 by our unique in vitro selection system using mRNA display, in vitro virus (IVV) method. We identified nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) as a TC11-binding molecule. Knockdown assay introducing siRNA for NPM1 into HeLa cells induced emergence of the cells with multipolar spindles, suggesting centrosomal disruption during cell division. Since NPM1 gene localizes at chromosome 5q, anti-MDS effect of TC11 was also examined. TC11 also inhibited growth of MDS-L cells (IC50=7μM). CONCLUSION: A novel Phthalimide Derivative, TC11, has anti-MM activity in vivo and is a potentially effective drug for high-risk MM with bone lesions. TC11 directly binds to NPM1 and induces apoptosis of MM and MDS cells with low toxicity to normal hematopoiesis. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

a novel Phthalimide Derivative tc11 has preclinical effects on high risk myeloma cells and osteoclasts
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Maiko Matsushita, Yoshie Ozaki, Yuka Hasegawa, Fukiko Terada, Noriko Tabata, Hirokazu Shiheido, Hiroshi Yanagawa, Tsukasa Oikawa, Koichi Matsuo, Wenlin DuAbstract:Despite the recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), MM patients with high-risk cytogenetic changes such as t(4;14) translocation or deletion of chromosome 17 still have extremely poor prognoses. With the goal of helping these high-risk MM patients, we previously developed a novel Phthalimide Derivative, TC11. Here we report the further characterization of TC11 including anti-myeloma effects in vitro and in vivo, a pharmacokinetic study in mice, and anti-osteoclastogenic activity. Intraperitoneal injections of TC11 significantly delayed the growth of subcutaneous tumors in human myeloma-bearing SCID mice. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that TC11 induced apoptosis of MM cells in vivo. In the pharmacokinetic analyses, the Cmax was 2.1 μM at 1 h after the injection of TC11, with 1.2 h as the half-life. TC11 significantly inhibited the differentiation and function of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts in mouse osteoclast cultures using M-CSF and RANKL. We also revealed that TC11 induced the apoptosis of myeloma cells accompanied by α-tubulin fragmentation. In addition, TC11 and lenalidomide, another Phthalimide Derivative, directly bound to nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), whose role in MM is unknown. Thus, through multiple molecular interactions, TC11 is a potentially effective drug for high-risk MM patients with bone lesions. The present results suggest the possibility of the further development of novel thalidomide Derivatives by drug designing.

development of a novel Phthalimide Derivative preclinical effects on high risk myeloma cells and osteoclasts
Blood, 2014Co-Authors: Yutaka Hattori, Maiko Matsushita, Noriko Tabata, Hirokazu Shiheido, Hiroshi Yanagawa, Arimi Ueda, Masashi Hozumi, Shotaro Kitabatake, Daiju IchikawaAbstract:BACKGROUND: Despite recent advances in the use of newly developed drugs including immune-modulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide and proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib, carfilzomib, and MLN9708, MM is still an incurable disease. In particular, MM patients harboring 17p deletion, t(14;16), t(14;20), or t(4;14) are classified as a high-risk group and have shown significantly shorter survival. With the goal of helping prolong the survival of these high-risk MM patients, we screened 29 synthetic Phthalimide Derivatives and found a novel compound, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1 H -isoindole-1,3-dione (TC11), which induced the apoptosis of KMS34 cells with t(4;14) and del17p13. PURPOSE: The purpose of this project is to clarify preclinical effects of the synthetic Phthalimide Derivative, TC11, on high-risk MM cell lines and osteoclasts. Namely, anti-myeloma and anti-osteoclastogenic activities and pharmacokinetic study in mice were shown. We also try to isolate directly binding molecules. Safety issues including hematological toxicities and teratogenicity were also discussed. METHODS AND RESULTS: TC11 significantly inhibited growth of MM cell lines (IC 50 4-8μM) including KMS34 and KMS11 cells which have high-risk chromosomal abnormalities. TC11 also suppressed the proliferation of all of the bone marrow cells obtained from the MM patients, in a dose-dependent manner. TC11 increased annexin V-positive fraction and induced apoptosis. TC11 was injected intraperitonealy into myeloma (KMS34 and KMS11 cells)-bearing lcr/SCID mice, and anti-myeloma activity was evaluated in vivo. Twenty mg/kg of TC11 significantly inhibited growth of KMS34 or KMS11-derived plasmacytomas. Apoptosis of MM cells was observed by histopathological examination. In order to evaluate hematological toxicity of TC11, growth of colony-forming cells was examined. In the presence of 5μM of TC11, formation of CFCs was not significantly suppressed, suggesting low hematopoietic toxicity. In the pharmacokinetic analyses using lcr mice, the plasma concentrations of TC11 was examined; C max was 18.1μM at 1.5hr (T max ), and T 1/2 was 2.5hr, when 100mg/kg of TC11 was injected. If 20mg/kg was injected, C max was 2.1μM at 1.0hr (T max ), and T 1/2 was 1.2hr. Oral administration of TC11 to Icr mice was safely carried out, and results of pharmacokinetic study will be shown. Aiming at the therapeutic use of TC11 to bone disease, anti-osteoclastogenic activity was examined. Mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells were incubated in the presence of M-CSF and RANK-ligand. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts was reduced in number in the presence of 1μM of TC11. It was also found that 1μM of TC11 inhibited bone resorption by pit assay. We have identified nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) and α-tubulin as TC11-binding molecules using our unique in vitro selection system using mRNA display, in vitro virus (IVV) method. However, cereblon (CRBN) was not detected as a TC11-binding protein by this method. The immunofluorescent analysis showed that TC11-treated cells exhibited elevated levels of α-tubulin fragmentation. Together with our previous observation of induction of centrosomal disruption of HeLa cells by NPM1-knock down, TC11 may cause anti-myeloma effects via mitotic catastrophe. CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated that TC11, a novel Phthalimide Derivative, has anti-tumor activity against MM cells with high-risk genetic abnormality including del 17p and t(4;14), in vitro and in vivo. This novel compound also down-regulates the differentiation and function of osteoclasts. Our data provide a strong preclinical rationale for TC11 as a safe and effective drug for the treatment of high-risk MM patients with bone disease. The actions of this drug relating to α-tubulin and NPM1 remain to be further investigated. TC11 exerts its anti-myeloma effect via molecular interactions which do not involve CRBN. In addition, TC11 does not form racemate and is expected to lack teratogenicity. The results of our present study suggest that new Phthalimide Derivatives other than thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide could be developed by drug designing for the treatment of MM.

a Phthalimide Derivative that inhibits centrosomal clustering is effective on multiple myeloma
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Hirokazu Shiheido, Fukiko Terada, Noriko Tabata, Wenlin Du, Taketo Yamada, Ichigo Hayakawa, Nobutaka Matsumura, Hideaki Takashima, Yoko Ogawa, Mitsuru ShojiAbstract:Despite the introduction of newly developed drugs such as lenalidomide and bortezomib, patients with multiple myeloma are still difficult to treat and have a poor prognosis. In order to find novel drugs that are effective for multiple myeloma, we tested the antitumor activity of 29 Phthalimide Derivatives against several multiple myeloma cell lines. Among these Derivatives, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1H-isoindole-1,3- dione (TC11) was found to be a potent inhibitor of tumor cell proliferation and an inducer of apoptosis via activation of caspase-3, 8 and 9. This compound also showed in vivo activity against multiple myeloma cell line KMS34 tumor xenografts in ICR/SCID mice. By means of mRNA display selection on a microfluidic chip, the target protein of TC11 was identified as nucleophosmin 1 (NPM). Binding of TC11 and NPM monomer was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance. Immunofluorescence and NPM knockdown studies in HeLa cells suggested that TC11 inhibits centrosomal clustering by inhibiting the centrosomal-regulatory function of NPM, thereby inducing multipolar mitotic cells, which undergo apoptosis. NPM may become a novel target for development of antitumor drugs active against multiple myeloma.

abstract 5121 peg e tc11 a novel polyethylene glycol linked Phthalimide Derivative inhibited high risk mm cell growthin vivoandin vitrovia cell cycle g2 m arrest in a crbn independent manner
Cancer Research, 2017Co-Authors: Shuji Aida, Masashi Hozumi, Daiju Ichikawa, Kazuki Iida, Misa Nakamura, Ryo Uozaki, Nahoko Hashimoto, Mikio Okayama, Yuko Yonemura, Noriko TabataAbstract:Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the hematological malignancy that is characterized by proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Recent advance in the treatment of MM using newly developed drugs, prognosis of the MM patients have been significantly improved. For example, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide have been developed for treatment of MM. However, IMiDs have only limited effects against MM patients with high risk chromosomal abnormalities such as t(4;14) and del17p (high-risk MM). In 2010, it was reported that IMiDs directly bind to cereblon (CRBN), a component of ubiquitin ligase 3 complex, and induced teratogenicity as well as anti-tumor effects. We have previously reported that a novel Phthalimide Derivative, 2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-amino-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (TC11) induced apoptosis against high-risk MM cells in vivo and in vitro, and inhibited differentiation of osteoclasts. We also reported that TC11 directly bound to α-tubulin and nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1), but did not bind to CRBN. However, TC11 was not well dissolved in water with only 0.02 mg/mL solubility. Therefore, TC11 showed poor absorption into blood and limited anti-tumor activity when it was intraperitoneally administered in tumor-bearing mice. To resolve these problems, we synthesized PEG(E)-TC11, in which TC11 is linked to polyethylene glycol through an ester bond, and consequently enhanced water solubility of PEG(E)-TC11 to 88.9 mg/mL. PEG(E)-TC11 revealed as potent growth inhibitory effect on high-risk MM cells as TC11 in vitro. In pharmacokinetic study, PEG-modification of TC11 improved the peak blood concentration (Cmax) from 2.6 to 24.4 μM and extended elimination half-life (t1/2) from 1.4 to 2.2 hr when 186 μM/kg of these compounds were intraperitoneally injected. More importantly, these pharmacokinetic improvement led to more potent growth inhibition of MM cells in vivo than TC11. We also explored mechanisms of anti-myeloma effect of PEG(E)-TC11 and found that PEG(E)-TC11 induced apoptosis via G2/M cell cycle arrest. However, unlike IMiDs family, BIACORE assay revealed that PEG(E)-TC11 didn’t directly bind to CRBN, indicating that growth inhibitory effect of PEG(E)-TC11 against MM cells was independent of binding to CRBN. In conclusion, PEGylation of TC11 significantly increased water solubility, resulted in potentiated anti-myeloma activity in vivo. Furthermore, PEG(E)-TC11 inhibited cell growth via G2/M arrest in a CRBN-independent manner. Thus, PEG(E)-TC11 is considered as a candidate compound for overcoming high-risk MM.
