MedKoo CAT#: 202310

CAS#: 19171-19-8

Description: Pomalidomide, also known as CC4047, is an orally bioavailable derivative of thalidomide with potential immunomodulating, antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. Although its exact mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated, pomalidomide appears to inhibit TNF-alpha production, enhance the activity of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Pomalidomide was approved on February 8, 2013 as a treatment for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

More Info:

Biological target: Pomalidomide is the third-generation immunomodulatory agent, functions through interacting with the E3 ligase cereblon and induces degradation of essential Ikaros transcription factors.
In vitro activity: Here, treatment of PEL cells with Pom (Pomalidomide) restores NK cell lysis and T-cell activation, and this is directly due to the upregulation of the co-stimulatory molecules ICAM-1 and B7-2, as specific blocking antibodies to these proteins prevent the responses. To this study’s knowledge, this is the first report of otherwise “immunologically silent” PELs being specifically sensitized for recognition and lysis by T-cells and NK-cells, both of which are important components of anti-tumor immunity. The mechanistic studies further provide evidence that these effects occur through Pom’s effects on the E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon and, at least in part, involve the PI3K pathway.

In vivo activity: POM (Pomalidomide) showed a negative impact on proliferation of Raji and OCI-LY10 cells (Figure 2) and significant preclinical therapeutic activity against CNS lymphoma in both Raji and OCI-LY10 murine orthotopic models. The in vivo findings showed a dose-dependent therapeutic activity against CNS lymphoma with statistically significant therapeutic activity at 3 mg, 10 mg, and 30 mg/kg dose levels of POM in terms of reduction of tumor growth and prolongation of survival (Figure 3).
