Zusammenfassung: | The catalytic enzymes tankyrase 1 and 2 (TNKS1/2) poly-ADP-ribosylate target proteins, including AXIN proteins, to earmark them for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasomal system. Hence, inhibition of TNKS1/2 can stabilize AXIN proteins, and consequently β-catenin degradosomes, resulting in inhibition of WNT/β-catenin signaling. Although several potent small-molecules have been developed to inhibit TNKS1/2 and oncogenic WNT/β-catenin signaling, also showing convincing anti-tumor effects in numerous mouse cancer models, there are currently no TNKS1/2 inhibitors available in the clinic. The development has mainly been disadvantaged by concerns over previous reports unfolding intestinal toxicity, apparently caused by on-target and WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway-specific side effects, and a deficient therapeutic index. Here we show that the novel, highly potent and selective1,2,4-triazole-based TNKS1/2 inhibitor OM-153, displaying improved ADME-properties and mouse pharmacokinetics, reduced WNT/β-catenin signaling and tumor progression in COLO 320DM colon cancer xenografts upon peroral (PO) administration of 0.33-10 mg/kg twice daily (BID). In addition, combined OM-153 and anti-PD-1 treatment conferred a synergistic anti-tumor effect in a B16-F10 mouse melanoma model. In a 28-day repeated dose mouse toxicity study, body weight loss, intestinal damage and tubular damage in the kidney was documented after PO BID administration of 100 mg/kg. In contrast, in mice treated PO BID using 10 mg/kg, the intestinal architecture was intact and no atypical histopathological changes were observed in other organs, while clinical biochemistry and haematological analyses did not identify any changes indicating considerable toxicity. The results provide a scaffold for using OM-153 as a potential anti-cancer treatment and additional preclinical and clinical evaluations.
