Biological Activity

Description BEZ235 (NVP-BEZ235) is a dual ATP-competitive PI3K and mTOR inhibitor of p110α, p110γ, p110δ and p110β with IC50 of 4 nM, 5 nM, 7 nM and 75 nM, respectively, and also inhibits ATR with IC50 of 21 nM.

In vitro BEZ235 significantly reduces the phosphorylation levels of the mTOR activated kinase p70S6K. BEZ235 results in a reduction of S235/S236P-RPS6 levels with IC50 of 6.5 nM. The activity of BEZ23 against mTOR is determined using a biochemical mTOR K-LISA assay with IC50 of 20.7 nM. BEZ235 shows slightly lower activity against its β paralogue with IC50 of 75 nM. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is often constitutively activated in human tumor cells. BEZ235 blocks PI3K and mTOR kinase activity by binding to the ATP-binding cleft of these enzymes. Both PTEN-null cell lines PC3M and U87MG show a dose-dependent reduction in cell proliferation when treated with increasing concentrations of BEZ235 with an average GI50 of 10-12 nM. [1] BEZ235 is an mTORC1/2 catalytic inhibitor. [2]
In vivo BEZ235 induces regression of the tumors (69%) without statistically significant effect on body weight gain. Altogether, these preliminary in vivo efficacy results show that BEZ235 causes disease stasis when administered orally as a single agent and can enhance the efficacy of other anticancer agents when used in combination studies.

Kinase Assay:

[1]

In vitro Protein Kinase, PI3K, and mTOR Assays PI3Kα, β, and δ proteins are composed of the iSH2 domain of p85 NH2-terminally fused to the full-length protein p110 protein, with the exception of α that also does not contain the last 20 amino acids. PI3Kγ is produced as full-length protein deleted for its first 144 amino acids. All constructs are fused to a COOH-terminal His tag for convenient purification and then cloned into the pBlue-Bac4.5 (for α, β, and δ isoforms) or pVL1393 (for γ isoform) plasmids. The different vectors are then cotransfected with BaculoGold WT genomic DNA using methods recommended by the vendor for production of the respective recombinant baculoviruses and proteins. BEZ235 are tested for their activity against PI3K using a Kinase-Glo assay. The kinase reaction is done in 384-well black plate. Each well is loaded with 50 μL of test items (in 90% DMSO) and 5 μL reaction buffer containing 10 μg/mL PI substrate (l-α-phosphatidylinositol; Avanti Polar Lipids; prepared in 3% octyl-glucoside) and the PI3K proteins (10, 25, 10, and 150 nM of p110α, p110β, p110δ, and p110γ, respectively) are then added to it. The reaction is started by the addition of 5 μL of 1 μM ATP prepared in the reaction buffer and is incubated for either 60 (for p110α, p110β, and p110δ) or 120 min (for p110γ). It is terminated by the addition of 10 μL Kinase-Glo buffer. The plates are then read in a Synergy 2 reader for luminescence detection.

Method

The human CRC cell lines, HCT116 (PIK3CA mutant; kinase domain at H1047R), DLD-1 (PIK3CA mutant; helical domain at E545K), and SW480 (PIK3CA wild-type) and isogenic DLD-1 PIK3CA mutant as well as wild-type cells are maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS and 1 × Penicillin/Streptomycin. Cells are plated at different initial densities (HCT116: 3 × 103 cells/well, DLD-1: 5.5 × 103 cells/well, SW480: 4.5 × 103 cells/well, DLD-1 PIK3CA mutant: 7 × 103 cells/well, and DLD-1 PIK3CA wild-type: 9 × 103 cells/well) to account for differential growth kinetics. After 16 hours, cells are incubated with increasing concentrations of BEZ235, and the drug-containing growth medium is changed every 24 hours. Cell viability is assessed 16 hours after the initial plating and 48 hours after initiation of drug treatment using the colorimetric MTS assay CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay, as per the manufacturer's instructions. Cell viability after drug treatment is normalized to that of untreated cells also grown for 48 hours. For western blot analysis, cells are plated with zero or maximum inhibitory dose (500 nM) BEZ235 for 2, 6, 24, or 48 hours.

Results We investigated the effect of IGF-1 stimulation on MCF7/IGF-1R 4-OH-TAM resistance in a structurally and physiologically relevant context by use of a modified 3D culture. Both parental MCF7 (Figure a) and MCF7/IGF-1R cells (Figure b) were responsive to E2 or IGF-1 by forming acini on Matrigel, but the response was significantly larger in MCF7/IGF-1R cells with altered a cinar morphogenesis. inhibition of IGF -1R/ERK/Akt signaling by respective kinase inhibitors restored 4-OH-TAM sensitivity of MCF7/IGF-1R cells in 3D culture (Figure c).

Results As shown in Fig. A, NVP-BEZ235 and other inhibitors all inhibited mTOR in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values were calculated and are shown in Fig. B. NVP-BEZ235 inhibited mTOR potently, with IC50 value of 0.002 μM. In contrast, ZSTK474, GDC-0941 and LY294002 weakly inhibited mTOR, with IC50 values of 0.377, 0.413 and 3.86μM, respectively. To further demonstrate their selectivity for class I PI3K, the IC50 values of these inhibitors for mTOR were divided by their corresponding IC50s for class I PI3Ka, and the resulting ratios were plotted in Fig. C. Clearly, ZSTK474 and GDC-0941 revealed much higher selectivity for inhibiting class I PI3K than the other two inhibitors. In contrast, NVP-BEZ235 more potently inhibited the activity of mTOR than that of class I PI3K

Results "Evaluation of relative kinase activity of these mutants revealed that mutant P449T exhibited gain of function (>2-fold) compared with wild-type PI3K α (Fig. A). With regard to two hotspot mutants (E545K and H1047R), we examined the effect of NVP-BEZ235 and other PI3K inhibitors on their enzymatic activity and found no striking difference in their efficacies compared with wild-type p110α (Fig. B).

Concentrations 0.1-100 μM
Incubation Time 1-24 h
Results One of the proposed mechanisms of resistance to PI3KIs is mutation in the Ras-Raf pathway, which are found in more than half of melanomas. By ANOVA, no association was found between the IC50 values of NVP-BEZ235 and the presence or absence of B-Raf mutations (Fig. A). The targets of NVP-BEZ235, pAkt and pP70S6K, were both decreased with exposure to the drug in a time- and dose-dependent fashion, as shown in Figure B for YUVON and YUSIK cell lines. Clonogenicity was studied in YUVON and YUSIK cells with exposure to the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor. As shown in Figure C, NVP-BEZ235 effectively inhibits clonogenicity at low nanomolar concentrations.

Concentrations 0.01-10 μM
Incubation Time
Results IGF-1-stimulated proliferation was drastically restrained by BEZ235 at either 1 or 10 μM (Figure a).While IGF-1R and ERK signaling remained unaffected in response to IGF-1, the phosphorylation level of Akt was diminished with an increase in the dose of BEZ235, largely at 0.1 μM and entirely at 0.5 μM (Figure b). Likewise, the cell proliferation rate decreased correspondingly to Akt phosphorylation levels, significantly dropping at 0.1μM BEZ235 (Figure c)
