Description

Motolimod (VTX-2337) is a small molecule, selective Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist has been used in trials studying phase II for the treatment of peritoneal carcinoma, Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, B-cell lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck among others. Motolimod is designed to mobilize a patient's immune system by directly activating myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes, and natural killer cells. This activation results in the production of a high level of mediators known to orchestrate the integration of both the innate and adaptive anti-tumor responses to a number of cancers.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Doses of motolimod (2.5, 3.0, or 3.5 mg/m2) were given on days 1, 8, and 15, in combination with fixed weekly doses of cetuximab in 28-day cycles Low Grade B Cell Lymphoma: sadiation on Day 1. On Day 2, VTX-2337 (MOTOLIMOD) 3.0mg/m2 is administered intratumorally, followed by radiation. VTX-2337 3.0mg/m2 is then given weekly for 3 weeks in a 4 week cycle over 3 cycles.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
VTX-2337 selectively activates TLR8 with an EC50 of about 100 nmol/L and stimulates production of TNFα and interleukin (IL)-12 from monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (mDC). VTX-2337 (800 nmol/L) stimulates IFNγ production from NK cells and increases the cytotoxicity of NK cells against K562 and augment antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by rituximab and trastuzumab.
