Plinabulin (formerly known as NPI-2358) is a potent microtubule-destabilizing agent that exerts its effect by binding to the colchicine-binding site of tubulin. Plinabulin projects its potent antitumor activity against a broad spectrum of tumor cell lines. This drug in combination with docetaxel is under development by BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals in a worldwide Phase 3 clinical trial for non-small cell lung cancer. Pegfilgrastim is also in phase II clinical trial for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, where docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (TAC) were used as the chemotherapy. Plinabulin also possessed antitumor activity in animal models with multiple myeloma cancer cells, where the JNK protein appeared to be a primary target of plinabulin.

Sample Use Guides

Docetaxel + Plinabulin (DP): on days 1 and 8 of the 21 day cycle, patients will receive plinabulin (P) administered via IV infusion over 30 minutes. On Day 1, the infusion begins 2 hours from the starting time of docetaxel infusion, i.e, approximately 60 minutes from the end of docetaxel infusion. On day 8, plinabulin infusion will be repeated. On Day 1, no pre-medication will be routinely administered for plinabulin infusion. Anti-emetics may be prescribed as indicated according to institutional guidelines for chemotherapy. On Day 8, antiemetic prophylaxis may be administered prior to plinabulin infusion.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
Human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines MM.1S, MM.1R (Dex-resistant), RPMI-8226, and INA-6 (IL-6–dependent) were treated with plinabulin at different concentrations (range, 1nM to 10μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours, and cell viability was measured by MTT assays. As a result, plinabulin significantly decreased the viability of all the MM cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner (IC50 ranges from 8nM to 10nM for different cell lines).
