Chemical Structure

Biological activities

CX-5461 is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of rRNA synthesis. CX-5461 selectively inhibits Pol I-driven transcription of rRNA with IC50 values of 142, 113, and 54 nM in the HCT-116 cells, melanoma A375, and pancreatic carcinoma MIA PaCa-2, respectively. However, the IC50 of CX-5461 against Pol II-driven transcription of rRNA is > 25 μM in the HCT-116 cells. CX-5461 possesses 250- to 300-fold selectivity for inhibition of rRNA transcription versus DNA replication and protein translation. CX-5461 (1 μM) causes rapid inhibition of Pol I transcription, with an observed half-life of 21 minutes for 45S pre-rRNA in MIA PaCa-2 cells. The median EC50 across all tested cell lines (including EOL-1, SR, K562, HCT-116, and LNCaP) is 147 nM. However, all normal cell lines have EC50 values of approximately 5 μM. CX-5461 shows significant antiproliferative potency against HCT-116, A375, and MIA PaCa-2 cell lines with EC50 values of 167, 58, and 74 nM, respectively. CX-5461 also inhibits the initiation stage of rRNA synthesis and induces both senescence and autophagy through a p53-independent process in solid tumor cell lines. In vivo, CX-5461 is orally bioavailable. CX-5461 also shows antitumor activity against human solid tumors in murine xenograft models.[1] CX-5461 can selectively kills B-lymphoma cells in vivo while maintaining a viable wild-type B cell population.[2]
