We have compared the antitumor activities of SP500263, a novel next-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), tamoxifen, and raloxifene side-by-side in in vitro and in vivo MCF-7 breast cancer models. In vitro, SP500263 acted as an antiestrogen and potently inhibited estrogen-dependent MCF-7 proliferation with IC(50) values in the nanomolar range. SP500263 also strongly inhibited MCF-7 proliferation in the absence of estrogen at all of the concentrations tested. To investigate the antitumor activity of SP500263 in animals, athymic nude mice were implanted with MCF-7 tumor in the presence of a tumor growth-supporting sustained release estrogen pellet. Treatment was initiated after tumors were established. SP500263, administered for 28 days through daily i.p. dosing, effectively reduced estrogen-stimulated tumor growth at 3 and 30 mg/kg. SP500263 was as efficacious as tamoxifen and superior to raloxifene at the corresponding doses. Maximum efficacy was reached with the 30 mg/kg dose. The observed effects were highly significant. SP500263 represents a member of a novel series of SERMs that is structurally unrelated to SERMs currently on the market or in clinical development. The experiments described herein demonstrate that SP500263 is efficacious in the MCF-7 proliferation assay and in a murine model of breast cancer. |
