Genz-644282, formerly known as SAR402674, is a novel, potent and non-camptothecin inhibitor of topoisomerase I with potential antineoplastic activity.The enzyme topoisomerase I is bound to and inhibited by the topoisomerase I inhibitor Genz-644282. This may lead to the inhibition of DNA replication, repair of single-strand breaks in DNA, and growth of tumor cells in tumor cell populations that are susceptible.

Biological Activity
| Targets | Topo I (IC50 = 1.2 nM) | 
| ln Vitro | Genz-644282 is a topoisomerase I inhibitor. With IC50 values ranging from 1.8 nM to 1.8 μM, Genz-644282 exhibits strong effects against 29 human tumor cell lines[1]. With IC50s ranging from 0.2-21.9 nM and an average IC50 value of 1.2 nM, Genz-644282 suppresses the PPTP cell lines[2]. Strong binding of Top1-DNA covalent cleavage complexes can be achieved with Genz-644282. Human colon cancer HCT116 cells and breast cancer MCF7 cells express γH2AX foci in response to genz-644282 (0.1 μM). On human cancer cell lines that are resistant to CPT, Genz-644282 is cytotoxic[3]. | 
| ln Vivo | Genz-644282 (1-4 mg/kg) is active when administered intravenously to the mice. In the human HCT-116 colon cancer xenograft, the human HT-29 colon carcinoma xenograft, and mice harboring the NCI-H460 human non-small cell lung carcinoma, genz-644282 (2.7 mg/kg, i.v.) results in a tumor growth delay (TGD) of 34 days. In the human HCT-15 colon carcinoma xenograft, genz-644282 (2 mg/kg, i.v.) causes a TGD of 33 days; in mice with LOX-IMVI melanoma, it is 28 days. In addition, Genz-644282 (1 mg/kg, i.v.) causes mice harboring the DLD-1 human colon carcinoma xenograft to experience TGD for 14 days. Additionally, Genz-644282 (1.7 mg/kg, i.v.) causes a TGD of 33 days in an NCI-H1299 human non-small cell lung carcinoma xenograft and 23 days in mice with 786-O tumors[1]. In 6/6 evaluable solid tumor models, genz644282 produces maintained complete responses (MCR) at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD, 4 mg/kg). In 3 out of 3 tumor models, Genz644282 (2 mg/kg) induces CR or MCR; in 7 out of 17 (41%) models, it causes objective regressions; however, at 1 mg/kg, there are no objective responses[2]. | 
| Cell Assay | Genz-644282 is exposed to 29 established human tumor cell lines over a concentration range in two to four separate experiments. Human tumor cell lines that reflect a variety of histologies and potential resistance mechanisms include MIA PaCa-2, AsPC-1, BxPC-3, CFPAC-1, Hs766T and Capan-1 pancreatic cancers; MEL624, C32, Hs695T and SK-MEL-3 melanomas; NCI-H1299, NCI-H292, NCI-H1915 and SW900 non-small cell lung cancers; HCC1395, HCC1937, HCC202, Hs578T, T-47D and ZR-75-1 breast cancers; ACHN, 769-P, A-498, A-704, SW156, Caki-2 and TK-10 renal cancers; and OVCAR-4 and OVCAR-5 ovarian cancers. In 96-well tissue culture plates, cells are plated at a diameter of 4 × 103/well. The medium used is 100 µL RPMI supplemented with 5% FBS and 12 concentrations of Genz-644282, ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 µM. Each concentration is tested in triplicate. Plates are incubated for one night at 37ºC in 5% CO2 humidified air. For 72 hours, plates are incubated with Genz-644282 at 37ºC in humidified air with 5% CO2. The test plates are read using the Cell Titer-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay following the incubation period. Using a Synergy HT plate reader and the related Ineticalc software, Version #3.4, luminosity is measured. Through comparison with the luminescence of each cell line's untreated control and the determination of IC50 and IC90 values from the graphical data, luminescence data are translated into growth fraction. Two independent experiments are conducted for every cell line[1]. | 
| Animal Protocol | Treatments are started when tumors grow to 200 mm3. Nu/nu mice are implanted subcutaneously with a 4 mm3 tumor fragment. Pre-injection preparation involves preparing compounds freshly. For example, Genz-644282 is prepared in M/6 lactate, irinotecan in D5W (5% Dextrose, aqueous), gemcitabine in saline, and docetaxel in ethanol, Cremophor EL, and saline. In experiments using human colon carcinoma xenografts (HCT-116, HT-29, HCT-15, and DLD-1), as well as renal cell carcinoma xenografts (786-O), genz-644282 is compared with irinotecan. Three IV injections of irinotecan at a dose of 60 mg/kg/day are given every four days. A comparison between Genz-644282 and docetaxel is made using the human CIH460 non-small cell lung carcinoma xenograft. Docetaxel is injected intravenously (IV) three times a day at a dose of 12, 16, or 20 mg/kg. A comparison is made between dacarbazine and Genz-644282 in the human LOX-IMVI melanoma xenograft. Dacarbazine is injected intraperitoneally (IP) once daily for five days at a dose of 90 mg/kg/day. In all in vivo experiments, genz-644282 is given intravenously (IV) on alternate days at 1, 1.36, 1.7, 2.7, or 4.1 mg/kg/day for a duration of two weeks[1]. |
