Biochem/physiol Actions

A tubulin-targeting, anti-microtubule agent that induces apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibits tumour growth in mice in vivo.
PBOX-6 belongs to a group of tubulin-targeting pyrrolo-1,5-benzoxazepine (PBOX) compounds that potently induce apoptosis in a wide spectrum of cancer cells, including those originating from the four main types of leukemia and those exhibiting multi-drug resistance (IC50 = 2.28 μM/HL60-MDR1, 2.86 μM/HL60-ABCG2, 1.91 μM/HL60; IC50 = 4.71 μM/A2780-ADR, 4.10 μM/A2780). PBOX-6 inhibits the assembly of purified tubulin in cell-free assays and causes microtubule depolymerization in MCF-7 cells by binding a tubulin site distinct from those targeted by vinblastine and colchicine. When administered via intratumoral injection (7.5 mg/kg/day) in vivo, PBOX-6 is reported to significantly inhibit tumour growth in a murine model of neuroblastoma and a CML model of the imatinib-resistant T315I mutants.

Some, but not all, of a series of novel pyrrolo-1,5-benzoxazepines (PBOXs) induce apoptosis as shown by cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation in three human cell lines, HL-60 promyelocytic, Jurkat T lymphoma, and Hut-78 s.c. lymphoma cells. This chemical

Neuroblastoma, a paediatric malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system, accounts for 15 % of childhood cancer deaths. Despite advances in understanding the biology, it remains one of the most difficult paediatric cancers to treat partly due to the development of multidrug

We have demonstrated previously that certain members of a series of novel pyrrolo-1,5-benzoxazepine (PBOX) compounds potently induce apoptosis in a variety of human chemotherapy-resistant cancer cell lines and in primary ex vivo material derived from cancer patients. A better understanding
