Anti-cachectic effect of FK317, a novel anti-cancer agent, in colon26 and LX-1 models in mice.
    Japanese journal of cancer research : Gann, 1998, Volume: 89, Issue:12

    The effects of FK317 (11-acetyl-8-carbamoyloxymethyl-4-formyl-6- methoxy-14-oxa-1,11-diazatetracyclo[7.4.1.0(2, 7). 0(10, 2] tetradeca-2,4,6-trien-9-yl acetate), a novel anti-cancer agent, on murine adenocarcinoma colon26- and human lung carcinoma LX-1-induced cachexia were investigated in mice. Mice bearing colon26 or LX-1 s.c. lost weight and became cachectic, associated with tumor growth. FK317 and mitomycin C (MMC) inhibited the growth of both tumors. FK317 ameliorated the weight loss induced by the presence of colon26 or LX-1, while MMC enhanced it. An attenuation of the reduction in the weights of epididymal fat, gastrocnemius muscle and carcass was observed in FK317-treated tumor-bearing mice in both cachexia models, but not in MMC-treated mice. The decreases in the circulating levels of triglyceride, glucose and non-esterified fatty acid, which were induced by the presence of colon26, was partially inhibited by treatment with FK317. Overall, this study revealed that FK317 is a potent anti-cancer drug with anti-cachectic activity, suggesting that FK317 has potential utility for the treatment of cancer.

FK317, a novel substituted dihydrobenzoxazine, exhibits potent antitumor activity against human tumor xenografts in nude mice.
    Japanese journal of cancer research : Gann, 1998, Volume: 89, Issue:12

    The antitumor effects of FK317, a novel substituted dihydrobenzoxazine, were evaluated using human tumor xenografts (small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer). Tumor growth-inhibitory effects and the effective dose-range of FK317 were much stronger and broader, respectively, than those of reference drugs such as mitomycin C, adriamycin, cisplatin, taxol and irinotecan. Furthermore, the body weight decrease and myelosuppression in FK317-treated mice were less than in the animals given any of the reference drugs. To explain this tumor selectivity, the distribution of FK317 was investigated after dosing tumor-bearing mice with the 14C-labelled compound. The concentration of FK317 in tumor tissues was relatively low, and long tumor retention was not observed. However, thin-layer chromatographic separation revealed that the radioactivity in the tumor resided mainly in strongly cytotoxic metabolites, while that in other tissues resided mainly in non-cytotoxic metabolites. These results suggest that FK317 shows strong antitumor activity without side effects, and one reason for this is its specific metabolite pattern. FK317 is now undergoing phase I clinical trials.
