Ixazomib (IXA) is a promising orally available proteasome inhibitor with improved safety profile compared to Bortezomib (BTZ). In vitro and ex vivo studies showed that IXA has a similar mechanism of action as BTZ, but demonstrated anti-leukemic effects in primary leukemia cells, suggesting further pre-clinical evaluation.
At present, 20-30% of children with acute leukemia still relapse from current chemotherapy protocols, underscoring the unmet need for new treatment options, such as proteasome inhibition. Ixazomib (IXA) is an orally available proteasome inhibitor, with an improved safety profile compared to Bortezomib (BTZ). The mechanism of action (proteasome subunit inhibition, apoptosis induction) and growth inhibitory potential of IXA vs. BTZ were tested in vitro in human (BTZ-resistant) leukemia cell lines. Ex vivo activity of IXA vs. BTZ was analyzed in 15 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primary pediatric patient samples. BTZ demonstrated more potent inhibitory effects on constitutive beta 5 and immunoproteasome beta 5i proteasome subunit activity; however, IXA more potently inhibited beta 1i subunit than BTZ (70% vs. 29% at 2.5 nM). In ALL/AML cell lines, IXA conveyed 50% growth inhibition at low nanomolar concentrations, but was similar to 10-fold less potent than BTZ. BTZ-resistant cells (150-160 fold) displayed similar (100-fold) cross-resistance to IXA. Finally, IXA and BTZ exhibited anti-leukemic effects for primary ex vivo ALL and AML cells; mean LC50 (nM) for IXA: 24 +/- 11 and 30 +/- 8, respectively, and mean LC50 for BTZ: 4.5 +/- 1 and 11 +/- 4, respectively. IXA has overlapping mechanisms of action with BTZ and showed anti-leukemic activity in primary leukemic cells, encouraging further pre-clinical in vivo evaluation.
