MM-54 is a peptide antagonist of the apelin receptor (APJ; Ki = 82 nM).1 It inhibits apelin-13-induced increases in number of stem cells and tumorspheres and the percentage of cells with aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, a marker of stem cells, in patient-derived glioblastoma spheroids when used at a concentration of 100 µM.2 MM-54 (2 mg/kg twice per week) decreases tumor volume in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model of glioblastoma.
