[CAS NO. 1260251-31-7]  Birinapant (TL32711)

Birinapant binds with XIAP and cIAP1 with K of 45 and <1 nM, respectively. Birinapant induces cell death as a single agent in TRAIL-insensitive SUM190 (ErbB2-overexpressing) cells (IC50, ~300 nM), and significantly increases potency of TRAIL-induced apoptosis in TRAIL-sensitive SUM149 (triple-negative, EGFR-activated) cells. Birinapant causes rapid cIAP1 degradation, caspase activation, PARP cleavage, and NF-κB activation. Birinapant in combination with TNF-α exhibits a strong antimelanoma effect in vitro. Birinapant in combination with TNF-α(1 ng/mL) inhibits the growth of human melanoma cell lines WTH202, WM793B, WM1366 and WM164 with IC50s of 1.8, 2.5, 7.9 and 9 nM, respectively, while neither compound is effective individually. Birinapant singly treatment induces inhibition on proliferation of WM9 cells with IC50 of 2.4 nM. Birinapant significantly inhibits the target protein cIAP1 and cIAP2 in these cell lines.
