Biological Activity

Description VLX600 is a novel iron-chelating inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), potentiates the effect of radiation in tumor spheroids in a synergistic manner. VLX600 shows enhanced cytotoxic activity under conditions of nutrient starvation. VLX600 induces autophagy and mitochondrial inhibition with antitumor activity.
Targets
OXPHOS [2]
In vitro

VLX600 shows enhanced cytotoxic activity under conditions of nutrient starvation.[1] Mitochondrial inhibition with VLX600 has a direct antitumor effect in vitro while appearing to promote glycolysis through increased AKT signaling and glucose transporter expression. When combined with imatinib, VLX600 prevents imatinib-induced cell cycle escape and reduces p27 expression, leading to increased apoptosis when compared to imatinib alone.[3]
In vivo

VLX600 induces the formation of autolysosomes in vivo. VLX600 displays tumour growth inhibition in vivo.[1] When combined with imatinib, VLX600 reduces p27 expression in vivo, and prevents imatinib-induced cell cycle escape, likely potentiating the antitumoral effects of Kit inhibition.[3]

Protocol (from reference)
