Abstrakt: Simple Summary: The sabizabulin agent represses tumor cell growth, cell migration, and colony formation, and induces cell death in HER2+ breast cancer models. Sabizabulin is comparable to paclitaxel to suppress HER2+ xenograft growth and to inhibit lung metastasis in a HER2+ patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Sabizabulin is a promising orally available agent as an alternative to taxanes to target tubulin in breast cancer patients, including the HER2+ breast cancer molecular subtype. HER2+ breast cancer accounts for 15% of all breast cancer cases. Current frontline therapy for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer relies on targeted antibodies, trastuzumab and pertuzumab, combined with microtubule inhibitors in the taxane class (paclitaxel or docetaxel). It is well known that the clinical efficacy of taxanes is limited by the development of chemoresistance and hematological and neurotoxicities. The colchicine-binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) are a class of promising alternative agents to taxane therapy. Sabizabulin (formerly known as VERU-111) is a potent CBSI that overcomes P-gp-mediated taxane resistance, is orally bioavailable, and inhibits tumor growth and distant metastasis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Herein, we demonstrate the efficacy of sabizabulin in HER2+ breast cancer. In vitro, sabizabulin inhibits the proliferation of HER2+ breast cancer cell lines with low nanomolar IC50 values, inhibits clonogenicity, and induces apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, sabizabulin inhibits breast tumor growth in the BT474 (ER+/PR+/HER2+) xenograft model and a HER2+ (ER-/PR-) metastatic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model, HCI-12. We demonstrate that sabizabulin is a promising alternative agent to target tubulin in HER2+ breast cancer with similar anti-metastatic efficacy to paclitaxel, but with the advantage of oral bioavailability and lower toxicity than taxanes.
