Background:
Oncrasin 1 is a small molecule antitumor agent with IC50 value of 4.81 μM [1].
The activated mutations of Ras genes (K-Ras, N-Ras and H-Ras) play important roles in tumorigenesis and maintenance of malignant phenotypes. The mutations make Ras constitutively be in the activated state with GTP-bound. Among the three Ras genes, the mutations of K-Ras are the most frequently found in tumors and are associated with resistance to radio therapy, chemotherapy and poor prognosis. Thus, mutant K-Ras is important target for antitumor treatment. Oncrasin 1 is a small-molecule compound that found by a synthetic lethality screening. It effectively killed tumor cells with K-Ras mutation but not normal isogenic cells through inducing cell apoptosis. Besides that, Oncrasin 1 caused abnormal aggregation of PKCι of those sensitive cells [1].
In a sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay, treatment of Oncrasin 1 at final concentration of 5 μg/ml killed more than 50% of cells. Oncrasin 1 was highly selective against K-Ras mutation, it showed dose-dependent cytotoxicity in T29Kt1 (K-Ras mutant) cells with IC50 value of 4.81 μM. For T29Ht1 (H-Ras mutant) cells and T29 (wild-type Ras) cells, Oncrasin 1 showed no cytotoxicity even at concentration of 33 μM. For the other K-Ras-mutant tumor cells such as A549, H2122 and H460, Oncrasin 1 all showed cytotoxicity with IC50 value of ≤ 3 μM. It was found that induction of apoptosis was a major mechanism of Oncrasin 1 treatment [1].
In mice injected with H460 cells, administration of Oncrasin 1 at dose of 100 mg/kg resulted in significant tumor growth suppression by 75.4%. In addition, the survival time was prolonged by the Oncrasin 1 treatment [1].
