PTC-209 HBr is the hydrobromide salt of PTC-209, which is a potent and selective BMI-1 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.5 μM, and results in irreversible reduction of cancer-initiating cells (CICs).

BMI-1

PTC-209 inhibits both the UTR-mediated reporter expression and endogenous BMI-1 expression in human colorectal HCT116 and human fibrosarcoma HT1080 tumor cells. PTC-209 decreases colorectal tumor cell growth in a BMI-1-dependent way. In addition, PTC-209 impairs colorectal cancer-initiating cells (CICs) through irreversible growth inhibition.

PTC-209 (60 mg/kg/day, s.c.) effectively inhibits BMI-1 production in tumor tissue, and halts growth of preestablished tumors in mice bearing primary human colon cancer xenograft, human colon cancer cell lines LIM1215 or HCT116 xenografts. PTC-209 also reduces the frequency of functional colorectal CICs in vivo.
