Sumario: | SIMPLE SUMMARY: Targeted therapies are of growing interest to physicians in cancer treatment. These drugs target specific genes and proteins involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. Brain tumor therapy is complicated by the fact that not all drugs can penetrate the blood brain barrier and reach their target. We explored the non-invasive method, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, for monitoring drug penetration and its effects in live animals bearing brain tumors. We were able to show the presence of the investigated drug in mouse brains and its on-target activity. ABSTRACT: Background: BAY1436032 is a fluorine-containing inhibitor of the R132X-mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (mIDH1). It inhibits the mIDH1-mediated production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) in glioma cells. We investigated brain penetration of BAY1436032 and its effects using (1)H/(19)F-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). Methods: (19)F-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy was conducted on serum samples from patients treated with BAY1436032 (NCT02746081 trial) in order to analyze (19)F spectroscopic signal patterns and concentration-time dynamics of protein-bound inhibitor to facilitate their identification in vivo MRS experiments. Hereafter, 30 mice were implanted with three glioma cell lines (LNT-229, LNT-229 IDH1-R132H, GL261). Mice bearing the IDH-mutated glioma cells received 5 days of treatment with BAY1436032 between baseline and follow-up (1)H/(19)F-MRS scan. All other animals underwent a single scan after BAY1436032 administration. Mouse brains were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results: Evaluation of (1)H-MRS data showed a decrease in 2-HG/total creatinine (tCr) ratios from the baseline to post-treatment scans in the mIDH1 murine model. Whole brain concentration of BAY1436032, as determined by (19)F-MRS, was similar to total brain tissue concentration determined by Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), with a signal loss due to protein binding. Intratumoral drug concentration, as determined by LC-MS/MS, was not statistically different in models with or without R132X-mutant IDH1 expression. Conclusions: Non-invasive monitoring of mIDH1 inhibition by BAY1436032 in mIDH1 gliomas is feasible. |
