Tetralogic is currently testing its lead SMAC-Mimetic, birinapant, in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials for hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (SMAC) exerts its pro-apoptotic activity by antagonizing multiple members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein family, which are molecular targets that have been implicated in various cancers.
Birinapant has been shown to promote apoptosis in cancer cells through the formation of a caspase-8/RIPK1 complex and induction of autocrine tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Data presented indicate that autocrine TNF production induced by birinapant is triggered by the activation of the caspase-8/RIPK1/p38MAPK axis and may be regulated by cFLIP isoforms.
Both SMAC-Mimetics (which are bivalent) and monovalent IAP-inhibitors are being developed for cancer therapy. Owing to the structural differences between these two classes of therapies, the biochemical activity of birinapant was compared and contrasted with several monovalent IAP-inhibitors, and in that comparison, birinapant showed substantial differences from monovalent IAP-inhibitors in degrading cIAP1 and cIAP2 associated with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2).
"These data expand our understanding at the molecular level of birinapant's unique mechanism of action of establishing apoptosis in cancer cells," said C. Glenn Begley, Chief Scientific Officer of TetraLogic. "As the only SMAC-Mimetic in the clinic, birinapant is a completely novel therapeutic approach to cancer therapy."
The schedule for the TetraLogic oral and poster presentations is as follows:
About TetraLogic
TetraLogic is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics that mimic the Second Mitochondrial Activator of Caspases, or SMAC-mimetics, and are designed to cause or enable abnormal cells that are resistant to the body's immune system to self-destruct. Birinapant, our clinical-stage product candidate, is currently being tested in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials for hematological malignancies and solid tumors.
