Description：ABT-737, a BH3 mimetic, is a potent Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w inhibitor with EC50s of 30.3 nM, 78.7 nM, and 197.8 nM, respectively. ABT-737 induces the disruption of the BCL-2/BAX complex and BAK-dependent but BIM-independent activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. ABT-737 induces autophagy and has the potential for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) research.

In Vitro：ABT-737 binds BCL-2, BCL-XL, and BCL-W with high affinity (Kii>460 nM) to other antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members, including MCL-1 and BFL-1. ABT-737 binds the BH3-binding groove of BCL-XL and BCL-2[1]. ABT-737 (100 nM; 1-72 hours) induces apoptosis and synergizes with chemotherapy in HL-60 cells[1]. ABT-737 (5, 7.5, 10 μM; 72 hours) causes approximately 80% HCT116 cell death. The BAX knockout variant is completely resistant to ABT-737[1]. ABT-737 has no effect on cell cycle distribution. ABT-737 disrupts BCL-2/BAX heterodimerization and induces BAX conformational change in HL-60 leukemic cells[1]. ABT-737 induces a BAX/BAK-dependent impairment of maximal O2 consumption rate in sensitive cells. Stable BCL-2 overexpression in MCF10A cells induces an ABT-737-sensitive primed for death state. ABT-737 induces dose-dependent impairment of maximal O2 consumption rate in B-cell lymphoma cells[3].

In Vivo：ABT-737 (20, 30 mg/kg/day; i.p.; for 21 days) suppresses the leukemia burden by 48% and 53% at the 20 and 30 mg/kg dose levels, respectively, in four- to six-week-old CB.17 Scid mice with human leukemia KG-1 cells[1]. ABT-737 significantly extends survival of mice in this aggressive leukemia model[1].

Animal Administration：For intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration, 1 g/mL stock solution of ABT-737 in DMSO is added to a mixture of 30% propylene glycol, 5% Tween 80, 65% D5W (5% dextrose in water) (pH 4−5; final concentration of DMSO ≤ 1%). Mice injected with FD/ΔRaf-1:ER cells are treated with either ABT-737 (20 and 30 mg/kg/mouse every day i.p. for 21 days starting on day 1 post-cell injection (n=9-10 mice per group) or vehicle or left untreated (control); mice injected with human KG-1 cells are treated with 30 mg/kg ABT-737 starting on day 18 post-cell injection. For noninvasive imaging of FD/ΔRaf-1:ER-luc cells, anesthetized mice are injected with 150 mg/kg of D-luciferin and placed for imaging in the In Vivo Imaging System with total imaging time of 2 min.

Cell Assay：Cells are treated with ABT-737, ABT-263, or vehicle (DMSO) for 4 h in XF24 assay medium (6×104 MCF10A cells, see medium composition below) or RPMI 1640 medium (1×106 B-cell lymphoma cells) and apoptosis is analyzed by Annexin-V-binding/PI exclusion or by sub-diploid nuclei determination. FACS analysis is performed on Becton Dickinson FACScan or FACScalibur instruments. Data analysis is performed with CellQuest software.

Kinase Assay：To determine the binding affinity of GST-BCL-2 family proteins to the FITC-conjugated BH3 domain of BIM (FITC-Ahx-DMRPEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAYYAR), FPAs are performed as follows. Briefly, 100 nM of GST-BCL-2 family fusion proteins are incubated with serial dilutions of ABT-737 in PBS for 2 min. Then, 20 nM of FITC-BIM BH3 peptide (FITC-Ahx-DMRPEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAYYAR) is added. Fluorescence polarization is measured using an Analyst TM AD Assay Detection System after 10 min using the 96-well black plate. IC50s are determined using GraphPad Prism software.

IC50 & Target：Bcl-2 30.3 nM (EC50) Bcl-xL 78.7 nM (EC50) Bcl-W 197.8 nM (EC50) Bcl-B 1820 nM (EC50) Bfl-1 >10 μM (EC50) Mcl-1 >10 μM (EC50)
