Notes: PTC-028 is an inhibitor of B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI1), which is a member of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) that has a role in gene silencing.{58650} It inhibits proliferation of OVCAR-4 and OV-90 ovarian cancer cells (IC50s = ~0.1 µM for both). It also induces BMI1 degradation in, and apoptosis of, the same cells in a concentration-dependent manner. PTC-028 reduces microtubule polymerization and induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in MDS-L myelodysplastic syndrome cells when used at concentrations of 3 and 0.03 µM, respectively.{58651} It reduces tumor growth in a OV-90 orthotopic mouse model of ovarian cancer when administered biweekly at a dose of 15 mg/kg.{58650}
