Description: BI-2563 is a small molecule compound with potential antineoplastic activities. BI 2536 binds to and inhibits Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), resulting in mitotic arrest, disruption of cytokinesis, and apoptosis in susceptible tumor cell populations. Plk1, a serine/threonine-protein kinase, is a key regulator of multiple processes fundamental to mitosis and cell division.

More Info: Phase I study of BI2536 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Forty-four and 26 patients received each treatment schedule, respectively. The MTD of BI 2536 in the day 1 and 8 schedule was 100 mg per administration (200 mg per course). The MTD for the second dosing schedule was not determined; a 225-mg dose was well tolerated. The most frequently reported treatment-related nonhematologic adverse events were gastrointestinal events and fatigue. Hematotoxicity as the most relevant side effect was similar in both schedules; neutropenia grades 3 and 4 were observed in 16 patients (36.4%) of the day 1 and 8 schedule and 13 patients (50%) of the 24-hour infusion. Fourteen patients (32%) treated in the day 1 and 8 dosing schedule had a best overall response of stable disease. Plasma concentrations of BI 2536 increased dose proportionally, with no relevant accumulation of exposure in the day 1 and 8 dosing schedule. The average terminal half-life was 50 hours. BI 2536 administered in either treatment schedule has adequate safety in patients with advanced solid tumors, warranting further clinical investigation of polo-like kinase-1 inhibitors. (source: Clin Cancer Res. 2010 Sep 15;16(18):4666-74 ).    BI 2536 exhibits potent activity against malignant plasma cells and represents a novel therapy in multiple myeloma .  Cells treated with BI 2536 accumulate in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle causing endoduplication. The effects of BI 2536 are not abrogated when cells are cultured on extracellular matrix components, in the presence of interleukin-6, or with bone marrow stromal cells. Plk1 inhibition leads to cell death in MM cell lines and patient myeloma samples. Those data suggest that inhibition of Plk1 may have potential use as a therapeutic strategy in multiple myeloma. (source: Exp Hematol. 2011 Mar;39(3):330-8 )  

Biological target: BI 2536 is a dual PLK1 and BRD4 inhibitor with IC50s of 0.83 and 25 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity: Exceeding a 100-fold concentration range starting at 10 nM, BI 2536 causes HeLa cells to accumulate with a 4N DNA content, indicative of a cell-cycle block in either G2 phase or mitosis. In addition to HeLa cells, BI 2536 potently inhibits the proliferation of a panel of 32 human cancer cell lines, representing diverse organ derivations (including carcinomas of the breast, colon, lung, pancreas, and prostate, melanomas, and hematopoietic cancers) and varied patterns of tumor suppressor or oncogene mutations (including RB1, TP53, PTEN, andKRAS status). The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values in this cell panel ranged 2-25 nM, whereas a concentration of 100 nM of BI 2536 is typically sufficient for inducing a complete mitotic arrest. The proliferation of exponentially growing hTERT-RPE1, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and normal rat kidney (NRK) cells is blocked at EC50values ranging 12-31 nM, indicating a comparable sensitivity of cycling nontransformed cells to BI 2536.

In vivo activity: BI 2536 (40-50 mg/kg, i.v.) blocks the growth of human cancer xenografts in immunodeficient, nu/nu mice. Consecutive cycles of 40-50 mg/kg BI 2536 given i.v. once or twice per week are found to be highly efficacious in diverse xenograft models, such as the HCT 116 colon cancer with complete tumor suppression with the twice per week schedule (treated versus the control (T/C) value 0.3%) and a T/C value of 16% with once per week treatment; both schedules are well-tolerated, as judged by clinical signs and absence of major body-weight changes.
