Exisulind (tentative trade name Aptosyn) is an antineoplastic agent, which was originally developed by Cell Pathways. This drug is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozymes: PDE5 and PDE4. Inhibition of PDE5 appears to be pharmacologically relevant, which leads to increase cGMP and activate protein kinase G at doses that induce apoptosis, whereas cyclic AMP levels were not changed. Exisulind has been in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and for the treatment of polyps in patients who have familial adenomatous polyposis (Colorectal Cancer and Small Intestine Cancer). In addition, this drug was in phase II/III for the treatment of Prostate Cancer, however, there studies have been discontinued.

Originator

Curator's Comment: compounds were originally developed by Cell Pathways, which was acquired by, and integrated into, OSI Pharmaceuticals in June 2003.

Sample Use Guides

patients with androgen independent prostate carcinoma: receive weekly docetaxel for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of rest; repeated up to a maximum of 6 cycles. Exisulind 250 mg was given orally twice a day starting on day 8 of the study and taken continuously.
Route of Administration: Oral
The effects of arsenic trioxide (ATO) in combination with sulindac (SUL), sulindac sulfide (SS) or sulindac sulfone (SF) on human (Jurkat, HL-60, K562 and HPB-ALL) and mouse (EL-4) leukemic cell lines were investigated. The combination of ATO (1 μM) with SS or SF at concentrations over 50 μM induced considerable cytotoxicity in all cell lines. Normal human lymphocytes exposed for 48 h to the combinations showed smaller decrease in viability. The mitochondrial membrane potential measurements (JC-1 probe) indicated an active involvement of mitochondria in the process. The results did not indicate involvement of an inhibitory effect of the combinations on NF-κB activity in Jurkat, HL-60 and K562 cells.
