Unesbulin (PTC596) is an orally active and selective B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 ( BMI-1 ) inhibitor. Unesbulin downregulates MCL-1 and induces p53-independent mitochondrial apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Unesbulin has anti-leukemic activity [1] [2] .
BMI-1 [1]
Unesbulin (PTC596; 20-200 nM; for 48 hours) induces apoptosis in AML cells in a p53-independent manner. BMI-1 overexpression desensitizes AML cells to PTC596-induced apoptosis
[1]
.
Unesbulin (200 nM; for 10 hours) leads to an accumulation of cells in G2/M phase
[1]
.
Unesbulin (0.012-1 μM; for 20 hours) significantly reduces protein levels of BMI-1
[1]
.
Unesbulin inhibits APC/CCDC20 activity resulting in the persistent activation of CDK1 and CDK2 which mediate the hyperphosphorylation of BMI1
[2]
.

Apoptosis Analysis [1]
Cell Line: | AML cell lines (MOLM-13, OCI-AML3, MOLM-14, MV4-11, U-937, HL-60) |
Concentration: | 20, 50, 100, 200 nM |
Incubation Time: | For 48 hours |
Result: | Induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner with the average IC 50 and ED 50 values among six cell lines were 30.7 nM and 60.3 nM, respectively. |
Cell Cycle Analysis [1]
Cell Line: | MOLM-13 and U-937 cells |
Concentration: | 200 nM |
Incubation Time: | For 10 hours |
Result: | Led to an accumulation of cells in G2/M phase, whereas the percentage of cells in G1 phase decreased. |
Western Blot Analysis [1]
Cell Line: | MOLM-13 cell |
Concentration: | 0.012, 0.037, 0.11, 0.33, 1 μM |
Incubation Time: | For 20 hours |
Result: |
Significantly reduced protein levels of BMI-1 and its downstream target ubiquitinated histone H2A.
Increased cyclin B1 and securin levels. |
Unesbulin (PTC596; 5 mg/kg; oral gavage; every 3 days for 13 days) significantly prolongs mouse survival
[1]
.
Unesbulin (20 mg/kg; oral gavage; once a week for 15 days) causes tumor volume significantly smaller than that of control SCID mice with K562 cells
[1]
.
Unesbulin (10 or 12.5 mg/kg; oral gavage; twice a week until death) causes the survival significantly longer than the vehicle-treated group in NOD-SCID mice with HL-60 cells
[1]
.
MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Model: | NOD-SCID/IL2Rγ-KO (NSG) mice with MOLM-13 cells [1] |
Dosage: | 5 mg/kg |
Administration: | Oral gavage; every 3 days for 13 days |
Result: | Significantly prolonged mouse survival compared with the vehicle-treated mice in a dose-dependent manner. |
