ASTX660 is an inhibitor of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein-peptide interactions.1 It inhibits the protein-peptide interaction between the IAP1 and XIAP BIR3 domains with a Smac-derived peptide in cell-free assays (IC50s = <40 and 12 nM, respectively). ASTX660 inhibits the protein-protein interaction between XIAP and caspase-9 in HEK293 cells (EC50 = 2.8 nM) and induces displacement of Smac from XIAP in A375 melanoma cells. It induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231, A375, and SK-MEL-28 cells in a TNF-α-dependent manner. In vivo, ASTX660 (20 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and A375 melanoma mouse xenograft models.
