Obatoclax

SKU: orb1690036

Description

Obatoclax (GX15-070) is a BH3 mimetic and pan-BCL-2 inhibitor with a Kᵢ of 220 nM for BCL-2. It induces autophagy-dependent cell death and proteasomal cyclin D1 degradation, demonstrating anticancer and broad-spectrum antiparasitic activity in both in vitro and in vivo research models.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  MCL1:1-7 μM (Ki)|Bcl-W:1-7 μM (Ki)|Bcl-B:1-7 μM (Ki)|Bcl-xL:1-7 μM (Ki)|Bcl-2:200 nM (Ki)
• In Vivo:
  Obatoclax (GX15-070; administered at doses of 1.15-5 mg/kg intravenously through the lateral tail vein for five consecutive days) demonstrated significant antitumor efficacy in xenograft mouse models in a dose-dependent manner. This study utilized 6-8 week old female BALB/C nude mice with subcutaneous tumors, and the results indicate that increasing doses of Obatoclax correspond to greater antitumor activity.

• In Vitro:
  Obatoclax (GX15-070) inhibits several BCL-2 family proteins, with Ki values around 1-7 μM, demonstrating its potency in apoptosis regulation. In colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116, HT-29, LoVo), it significantly reduces cell numbers in a dose- and time-specific manner, with the IC50 for cell proliferation at 72 hours being 25.85, 40.69, and 40.01 nM, respectively. At 400 nM for 24 hours, Obatoclax induces autophagy in OSCC cells and provokes an increase in G1-phase cell populations at doses of 50-200 nM for 24 hours. Similarly, it decreases cyclin D1 levels significantly at these concentrations. It leads to both phosphorylation-dependent and -independent cyclin D1 degradation in HCT116 and LoVo cells, with a notable decline in p-Cyclin D (T286) levels after treatment. Furthermore, Obatoclax inhibits GSK3β, activates p38 MAPK without significantly affecting ERK1/2 activity in HT-29 cells, and effectively inhibits the clonogenic potential of oral cancer cells across a range of concentrations (50-450 nM), underscoring its broader impact on cancer cell survival and proliferation mechanisms.
