[CAS NO. 192441-08-0]  Lomeguatrib

Lomeguatrib (20 mg/kg/day for 5 days) combined with temozolomide (100 mg/kg/day for 5 days) produces a substantial tumour growth delay: median tumour quintupling time is increased by 22 days without any significant increase in toxicity, while neither of the two drugs administrated along show any antitumor activity. Lomeguatrib inactivates ATase and enhances the anti-tumour effect of temozolomide in A375M human melanoma xenografts model. Lomeguatrib, at a single dose of 20 mg/kg i.p., produces complete ATase depletion in tumor within 2 hr. Temozolomide (100 g/kg/day) significantly delays growth of the A375M tumour xenograft with an estimated delay in the time for tumour to quintuple in size of 9.6 days. Addition of Lomeguatrib to temozolomide significantly enhances the latter’s effect, delaying the quintupling time a further 8.7 days. Moreover, the Lomeguatrib combination results in considerably less toxicity (0/9 vs. 2/9 deaths; 6.84% weight loss vs. 9.48%). Lomeguatrib alone has no significant effect on tumour growth.
