tcsc0068 Pevonedistat hydrochloride

Pevonedistat hydrochloride (MLN4924 hydrochloride) is a potent and selective NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 4.7 nM.

IC50 & Target: IC50: 4.7 nM (NAE)

In Vitro: Pevonedistat (MLN4924) is a potent inhibitor of NAE (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀=0.004 μM), and is selective relative to the closely related enzymes UAE, SAE, UBA6 and ATG7 (IC₅₀=1.5, 8.2, 1.8 and >10 μM, respectively). Pevonedistat (MLN4924) treatment inhibits overall protein turnover in cultured HCT-116 cells. Treatment of HCT-116 cells with Pevonedistat (MLN4924) for 24 h results in a dose-dependent decrease of Ubc12-NEDD8 thioester and NEDD8-cullin conjugates, with an IC₅₀ < 0.1 μM, resulting in a reciprocal increase in the abundance of the known CRL substrates CDT1, p27 and NRF2 (also known as NFE2L2), but not non-CRL substrates^[1]. Pevonedistat induces CLL cell apoptosis and circumvented stroma-mediated resistance. Pevonedistat promotes induction of Bim and Noxa in the CLL cells leading to rebalancing of Bcl-2 family members toward the proapoptotic BH3-only proteins^[2]. Pevonedistat (MLN4924) rapidly inhibits cullin 1 neddylation and remarkably suppressed growth and survival as well as migration in a dose-and time-dependent manner in gastric cancer cells, and significantly suppresses migration by transcriptionally activating E-cadherin and repressing MMP-9^[3].

In Vivo: Pevonedistat (MLN492410, 30 or 60 mg/kg, s.c.) leads to a dose- and time-dependent increase in the steady state levels of NRF2 and CDT1 in HCT-116 tumour-bearing mice, and decreases NEDD8-cullin levels in normal mouse tissue as illustrated in mouse bone marrow cells. Pevonedistat (MLN4924) administered on a BID schedule at 30 and 60 mg/kg inhibits tumour growth with T/C values of 0.36 and 0.15, respectively^[1].
