Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of chemistry and medicine. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to compositions containing Plinabulin, and its use in treatment.
- Gastric cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form in the lining of the stomach.
- Stomach or gastric cancer can develop in any part of the stomach and may spread throughout the stomach and to other organs, particularly the esophagus, lungs, and liver.
- Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with 930,000 cases diagnosed in 2002. In addition, it is a disease with a high death rate (-800,000 per year), making it the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide after lung cancer.
- SCLC Small cell lung cancer
- NSCLC nonsmall cell lung cancer
- Both lung cancers are the second most common cancer in both men and women.
- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, which accounts for about 25%. Thus, more people die of lung cancer than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined yearly. Furthermore, lung cancers account for about 13% (more than 1.8 million) of all new cancers. Lung cancer mainly occurs in older people. The average age at the time of diagnosis is about 70. Fewer than 2% of all cases are diagnosed in people younger than 45.
- the treatment and prognosis of SCLC depend strongly on the diagnosed cancer stage.
- the staging of SCLC based on clinical results is more common than pathologic staging. The clinical staging uses the results of the physical examination, various imaging tests, and biopsies. According to the data introduced by the American Cancer Society, the 5 -year relative survival rate accounts to 31% for stage I, 19% for stage II, 8% for stage III, and 2% for stage IV.
- TNBC triple-negative breast cancer
- ER estrogen receptor
- PR progesterone receptor
- HER2 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2
- TNBCs constitute 10%-20% of all breast cancers, more frequently affect younger patients, and are more prevalent in African-American women (Morris G J, et al. Cancer. 2007; 110(4):876-884).
- TNBC tumors are generally larger in size, are of higher grade, have lymph node involvement at diagnosis, and are biologically more aggressive (Haffty B G, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2006; 24(36):5652-5657).
- presurgical (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy TNBC patients have a higher rate of distant recurrence and a poorer prognosis than women with other breast cancer subtypes (Haffty B G, et al. J Clin Oncol.

- plinabulin was characterized for its ability to inhibit anchorage independent growth and ex vivo colony formation of tumor cells in semi- solid medium.
- the compound was investigated in 87 out of 93 originally planned tumor xenografts representing all major cancer types using a 3D clonogenic assay in a 96-well format with colony count based on image analysis as read-out. By using this assay, the investigational compound was assessed for the ability to inhibit anchorage independent growth and ex vivo colony formation of tumor cells in semi-solid medium.
- a master stock solution of plinabulin was prepared by dissolving the compound in DMSO at a concentration of 9.9 mM.
- Working stock solutions were prepared by diluting the master stock solution with DMSO to a concentration of 0.99 mM (330-fold the highest test concentration). Small aliquots of the master and working stock were stored at -20 °C. On each day of an experiment, an aliquot of the working stock was used and stored at room temperature prior to and during treatment. All liquid handling steps were performed using a Tecan Freedom EVO 200 robotic platform. First, serial dilutions of the working stock solution were done in DMSO. The DMSO dilutions were then diluted 1:22 into cell culture medium (IMDM, supplemented with 20% (v/v) fetal calf serum, and 50 pg/ml gentamicin) in an intermediate dilution plate.
- IMDM cell culture medium
- Plinabulin was investigated in 87 PDX models representing a number of cancer types. Tumors were passaged as subcutaneous xenografts in NMRI nu/nu mice. At a tumor volume of 400-1000 mm 3 tumor-bearing mice were euthanized and tumors were collected under sterile conditions without delay according to relevant SOPs and the relevant animal welfare guidelines published by the FEEASA and the GV-SOEAS.
- Tumors were mechanically disaggregated and subsequently incubated with an enzyme cocktail consisting of collagenase type IV (41 U/ml), DNase I (125 U/ml), hyaluronidase type III (100 U/ml), and dispase II (1 U/ml) in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies) at 37°C for 60 - 120 minutes.
- Cells were passed through sieves of 100 pm and 40 pm mesh size (Cell Strainer, BD FalconTM), and washed with RPMI 1640 medium (Biochrom). The percentage of viable cells was determined in a Neubauer-hemocytometer using trypan blue exclusion. Aliquots of the cells were frozen down and stored in a liquid nitrogen vapor phase. On each day of an experiment, a frozen aliquot of tumor cells was thawed and used for the preparation of assay plates.
- each test well contained a layer of semi-solid medium with tumor cells (50 pl), and a second layer of medium supernatant with or without test compound (100 pl).
- the cell layer consisted of 2.5-12.5 x 10 3 tumor cells per well, which were seeded on day 0 (dO) in 50 p 1/well cell culture medium (IMDM, supplemented with 20% (v/v) fetal calf serum, 50 pg/ml gentamicin, and 0.4% (w/v) agar).
- IMDM 50 p 1/well cell culture medium
- the soft-agar layer was covered with 90 pl of the same culture medium without agar. Seven days after seeding 10 pl of test compound or control medium was added, and left on the cells for 24 h. Every 96 well plate included six DMSO-treated control wells and drug-treated wells in duplicate at 9 concentrations. After the incubation time of 24 h the supernatant (90 pl medium without agar + 10 pl compound/control) was changed against drug free medium and incubated until the end of the study. Cultures were incubated at 37 °C and 7.5 % CO2 in a humidified atmosphere 13 days in total and monitored closely for colony growth using an inverted microscope.
