AT-406 (SM-406)
AT-406 (SM-406, CAS 1071992-99-8) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule antagonist targeting inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). It selectively binds to XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2 with Ki values of 66.4 nM, 1.9 nM, and 5.1 nM, respectively. AT-406 treatment induces apoptosis in cancer cells, including human ovarian carcinoma cell lines (IC50: 0.05-0.5 μg/ml), sensitizing them to standard chemotherapy such as carboplatin. In animal cancer models (e.g., ovarian and breast tumors), AT-406 administration reduced tumor progression and enhanced survival. AT-406 is under investigation for its therapeutic potential in oncology research.

|
Applications |
AT-406 was a potent and orally bioavailable antagonist of multiple inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). AT-406 effectively antagonized XIAP BIR3 (XIAP: X-linked IAP BIR3: the third BIR domain) protein, induced rapid degradation of cIAP1 (cIAP1: cellular IAP1) protein in MDA-MB-231 cell. AT-406 was effective in inhibition of cell growth in approximately 15% of more than 100 human cancer cell lines and its activity was not limited to a single tumor type. |

Animal models |
SCID(severe combined immunodeficient) mice bearing human MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumor |
|
Dosage form |
30 and 100mg/kg(between pH3.0 and 9.0)for oral gavage, 10mg/kg(between pH4.5 and 9.0)for intravenous administration. |
|
Application |
AT-406 could lead to the cIAP1 degradation, pro-caspase 8 decrease, CL-PARP(cleaved PARP)accumulation and tumor growth inhibition in the mouse xenograft model. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
