Description |
Navitoclax (ABT-263) is a potent and oral Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor that binds to multiple anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, such as Bcl-xL, Bcl-2 and Bcl-w, with a Ki of less than 1 nM.

|
In Vitro |
Navitoclax (ABT-263) is active against approximately one-half of the cell lines of the PPTP in vitro panel. The median IC50 for all of the lines in the panel is 1.91 µM[1]. Navitoclax in combination with chemotherapy agents leads most ovarian cancer cell lines a synergistic response, and enhances the caspase activation at all paclitaxel doses tested in both SK-OV-3 and IGROV-1 cell lines[2].
|
In Vivo |
Navitoclax (100 mg/kg/day, p.o.) also improves responses to bendamustine-rituximab (BR) in a subset of tumours in mice xenograft[3].
|
Cell Assay |
Cells are seeded in 384-well plates at 3,000 cells per well. After 24 hours, cells are treated with navitoclax (dose range of 14 nM-3.3 μM) and paclitaxel (dose range of 15 pM-100 nM) or gemcitabine (dose range of 0.5 nM-3.3 μM) in a 9 by 7 matrix. Each treatment is carried out in quadruplicate. Cells are treated for 72 hours, and cell viability is determined using the CellTiter-Glo assay. Cell viability for each treatment is normalized against the DMSO control group.

Animal Admin |
For systemic Granta 519 tumour models, 2×106 cells are injected via the tail vein in 0.1 mL volume of cell medium on day 0, and treatment is initiated on day 14. All animals are ear-tagged and monitored individually throughout the experiment. Navitoclax is administered by oral gavage once daily in a mixture of Phosal 50PG : PEG400 : ethanol. Bendamustine and rituximab are administered i.v. at 25 and 10 mg/kg, respectively, on day 1. Navitoclax is administered approximately 2 h before bendamustine and rituximab. All trials are comprised of 10 mice per group. Mice are humanely killed when tumours reached a size >2000 mm3 or when any signs of distress are monitored. Signs of distress include loss of ambulation, laboured breathing or weight loss > 20% mean body weight per cage.
