The long and winding road for the development of tasquinimod as an oral second-generation quinoline-3-carboxamide antiangiogenic drug for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the mostly commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in males. The culmination of the last 70 years of clinical drug development has documented that androgen ablation plus taxane-based systemic chemotherapy enhances survival, but is not curative, in metastatic prostate cancer. To effect curative therapy, additional drugs must be developed that enhance the response when combined with androgen ablation/taxane therapy.. The history of the discovery and development of tasquinimod as a second-generation oral quinoline-3-carboxamide analogue for prostate cancer will be presented.. The mechanism for such anticancer efficacy is via tasquinimod's ability to inhibit the 'angiogenic switch' within cancer sites required for their continuous lethal growth.. Tasquinimod is a novel inhibitor of tumor angiogenesis that enhances the therapeutic anticancer response when combined with other standard-of-care modalities (radiation, androgen ablation, and/or taxane-based chemotherapies) in experimental animal models, but does not inhibit normal wound healing. It has successfully completed clinical Phase II testing in humans and will shortly enter registration Phase III evaluation for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.

Identification of ABR-215050 as lead second generation quinoline-3-carboxamide anti-angiogenic agent for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Linomide, Figure 1, produces robust and consistent in vivo growth inhibition of prostate cancer models via its anti-angiogenic activity and inhibition of autoimmune encephalomyelitis models of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS clinical trials were discontinued because of unacceptable toxicity, due to dose-dependent induction of proinflammation.. Therefore, linomide analogs were initially screened to determine their in vivo potency to inhibit growth of the Dunning R-3327 AT-1 rat prostate cancer model in rats and their potency to inhibit angiogenesis in a Matrigel assay in mice.. Based upon its superior potency (i.e., 30- to 60-fold more potent than linomide) in these assays and its lack of a proinflammation in the Beagle-dog, ABR-215050 (tasquinimod), Figure 1, was characterized for dose-response ability to inhibit the growth of a series of four additional human and rodent prostate cancer models in mice. Pharmacokinetic analysis following oral dosing documented that blood and tumor tissue levels of ABR-215050 as low as 0.5-1 microM are therapeutically effective. This efficacy is correlated with inhibition of angiogenesis in a variety of assays (endothelial capillary tube formation, aortic ring assay, chorioallantoic membrane assay, real-time tumor blood flow and PO(2) measurements, tumor blood vessel density, and tumor hypoxic and apoptotic fractions).. Based upon its robust and consistent anti-angiogenic activity and thus tumor growth, ABR-215050 has entered clinical trials for the treatment of prostate cancer.
