Comment: ABBV-744 is an investigational, orally bioavailable BET family protein (BRD) inhibitor, that was developed for antiproliferative potential in cancer [1]. It was designed to selectively target the BD2 domain of BET family proteins, in an effort to limit potential on-target adverse activity associated with BD1 interactions. In vivo, ABBV-744 produced fewer platelet and gastrointestinal toxicities than a dual BD1/2-targeting compound in preclinical models. Its antiproliferative effects are primarily evident in acute myeloid leukaemia cell lines and in prostate cancer cells that express the full-length androgen receptor (AR).

Bioactivity Comments |
ABBV-744 exhibits robust antiproliferative activity in prostate cancer xenografts [1]. At the molecular level it displaces BRD4 from androgen receptor (AR)-containing super-enhancers and inhibits AR-dependent transcription. Like the AR antagonist enzalutamide, ABBV-744 induces cell cycle arrest in G1 and then senescence in LNCaP cells. No also significant activity of ABBV-744 was detected in a screening panel of 75 kinases and 22 diverse bromodomain-containing proteins. |
