ASP-9521

Research use only, not for human use.

ASP-9521 is an effective, specific and orally available AKR1C3 inhibitor (IC50: 11 nM, for human).

ASP9521 is a novel, selective, orally bioavailable inhibitor of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5 (17βHSD5; AKR1C3). ASP9521 has demonstrated anti-tumour activity in in vitro and in vivo preclinical models. ASP9521 inhibited conversion of androstenedione (AD) into testosterone (T) by recombinant human or cynomolgus monkey AKR1C3 in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50,human: 11 nmol/L;?IC50,monkey: 49 nmol/L). ASP9521 showed >100-fold selectivity for AKR1C3 over the isoform AKR1C2. In LNCaP-AKR1C3 cells, ASP9521 suppressed AD-dependent PSA production and cell proliferation. In patients with mCRPC, ASP9521 demonstrated dose-proportional increase in exposure over the doses evaluated, with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. However, the novel androgen biosynthesis inhibitor showed no relevant evidence of clinical activity.(In Vitro):AKR1C3 is a promising therapeutic target in castrationresistant prostate cancer, as combination of an AKR1C3 inhibitor and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue may lead to complete androgen blockade.ASP-9521 inhibits conversion of androstenedione (AD) into androstenediol and testosterone (T) by recombinant human or cynomolgus monkey AKR1C3 in a concentrationdependent manner (IC50, human: 11 nM; IC50,monkey: 49 nM). ASP-9521 shows more than 100-fold selectivity for AKR1C3 over the isoform AKR1C2. In LNCaP-AKR1C3 cells, ASP-9521 suppresses AD-dependent PSA production and cell proliferation.(In Vivo):In CWR22R xenografts, single oral administration of ASP-9521 (3 mg/kg) inhibits AD-induced intratumoural T production and this inhibitory effect is maintained for 24 h. After oral administration, ASP-9521is rapidly eliminated from plasma, while its intratumoural concentration remained high. The bioavailability of ASP-9521 after oral administration (1 mg/kg) is 35 %, 78 % and 58 % in rats, dogs and monkeys, respectively.
