Description

Diazepinomicin is a structurally novel farnesylated dibenzodiazepinone discovered through DECIPHER technology, Thallion's proprietary drug discovery platform. A small-molecule inhibitor of the RAS/RAF/MAPK signaling pathway with potential antineoplastic activity. Diazepinomicin binds to and inhibits Ras kinase, thereby preventing the phosphorylation and activation of proteins downstream of the Ras signal transduction pathway, including serine/threonine kinase RAF (BRAF) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1 and ERK-2). This agent also selectively binds to the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), a receptor highly expressed in certain tumor cell types, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in PBR-expressing cells. The compound was shown to have a broad cytotoxic activity in the low micromolar range, when tested in the NCI 60 cell line panel. Diazepinomicin can cross the blood-brain barrier. Diazepinomicin is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of Telomeric 22q13 Monosomy Syndrome and phase I for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome.
