Bioactivity | ABT-737, a BH3 mimetic, is a potent Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w inhibitor with EC50s of 30.3 nM, 78.7 nM, and 197.8 nM, respectively. ABT-737 induces the disruption of the BCL-2/BAX complex and BAK-dependent but BIM-independent activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. ABT-737 induces autophagy and has the potential for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) research[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | ABT-737 binds BCL-2, BCL-XL, and BCL-W with high affinity (Ki460 nM) to other antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members, including MCL-1 and BFL-1. ABT-737 binds the BH3-binding groove of BCL-XL and BCL-2[1]. ABT-737 (100 nM; 1-72 hours) induces apoptosis and synergizes with chemotherapy in HL-60 cells[1]. ABT-737 (5, 7.5, 10 μM; 72 hours) causes approximately 80% HCT116 cell death. The BAX knockout variant is completely resistant to ABT-737[1]. ABT-737 has no effect on cell cycle distribution. ABT-737 disrupts BCL-2/BAX heterodimerization and induces BAX conformational change in HL-60 leukemic cells[1]. ABT-737 induces a BAX/BAK-dependent impairment of maximal O2 consumption rate in sensitive cells. Stable BCL-2 overexpression in MCF10A cells induces an ABT-737-sensitive primed for death state. ABT-737 induces dose-dependent impairment of maximal O2 consumption rate in B-cell lymphoma cells[3]. | ||||||||||||
