Background:

A-1210477 is an effective and specific MCL-1 inhibitor with an EC50 value below 5 μmol/L [1]. Selectively, it binds to MCL-1 with an affinity of 0.45 nM [2].

MCL-1, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member, is an anti-apoptotic protein. It is a key regulator of cancer cell survival [3, 4].

In MCL-1-dependent SVEC cells, treatment with A-1210477 at varying doses, induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner. SYTOX Green exclusion and live-cell imaging were used to determine cell viability. In line with increased potency, cell death was more rapidly induced by A-1210477. To examine the selectivity of A-1210477 for targeting Bcl-2 family members, BcL-xL-, BcL-2-, and MCL-1-dependent SVEC cells were treated with A-1210477. A-1210477 only killed MCL-1-dependent cells. Compared with UMI-77, A-1210477 showed greater potency and specificity as an MCL-1 inhibitor, the EC50 value of UMI-77 is 10 μmol/L [1]. In living cells, A-1210477 disrupted BIM/MCL-1 complexes. In MCL-1-dependent cancer cells, A-1210477 induced the hallmarks of mitochondrial apoptosis. In various malignant cell lines, A-1210477 induced apoptosis, synergizing with navitoclax. Data also demonstrate that A-1210477 acted through an on-target mechanism. It appeared as the first BH3 mimetic targeting MCL-1 [2].

The pharmacokinetics of A-1210477 are not favorable for in vivo use [5].
