Background:

Voreloxin, formerly known as SNS-595 or AG-7352, is a novel naphthyridine analog, which is structurally related to the quinolone antibiotics, a chemical class not previously used for the treatment

of cancer.

In vitro: In vitro studies demonstrated voreloxin has broad anti-proliferative activity in 11 tumor cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 0.04 to 0.97 μM. Similar activity was observed in vitro in drug-resistant cell lines, including those that overexpress P-glycoprotein [2].

In vivo: After a single intravenous dose, voreloxin concentrations in tumor were correlated with induction of the apoptosis marker caspase-3. Administration of voreloxin at 20 mg/kg weekly inhibited tumor growth (86%). Voreloxin demonstrated strong dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition (63–88%) in 10 of 11 solid tumor xenograft models [2].

Clinical trial: Voreloxin showed an acceptable safety profile with clinical activity in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. The maxmum tolerence dose was schedule-dependent. Voreloxin is now in clinical studies of ovarian cancer and acute myeloid leukemia [3].
