Inhibition of the prosurvival members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins represents an attractive strategy for the treatment of cancer. We have previously reported the activity of ABT-737, a potent inhibitor of Bcl-2, Bcl-X-L, and Bcl-w, which exhibits monotherapy efficacy in xenograft models of small-cell lung cancer and lymphoma and potentiates the activity of numerous cytotoxic agents. Here we describe the biological activity of A-385358, a small molecule with relative selectivity for binding to Bcl-X-L versus Bcl-2 (K-i's of 0.80 and 67 nmol/L for Bcl-X-L and Bcl-2, respectively). This compound efficiently enters cells and co-localizes with the mitochondrial membrane. Although A-385358 shows relatively modest single-agent cytotoxic activity against most tumor cell lines, it has an EC50 of < 500 nmol/L in cells dependent on Bcl-X-L for survival. In addition, A-385358 enhances the in vitro cytotoxic activity of numerous chemotherapeutic agents (paclitaxel, etoposide, cisplatin, and doxorubicin) in several tumor cell lines. In A549 non-small-cell lung cancer cells, A-385358 potentiates the activity of paclitaxel by as much as 25-fold. Importantly, A-385358 also potentiated the activity of pactitaxel in vivo. Significant inhibition of tumor growth was observed when A-385358 was added to maximally tolerated or half maximally tolerated doses of paclitaxel in the A549 xenograft model. In tumors, the combination therapy also resulted in a significant increase in mitotic arrest followed by apoptosis relative to paclitaxel monotherapy.
