Inhibitors of isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (Icmt) are promising
anti-cancer agents, as modification by Icmt is an essential component of the
protein prenylation pathway for a group of proteins that includes Ras GTPases.
Cysmethynil, a prototypical indole-based inhibitor of Icmt, effectively inhibits
tumor cell growth. However, the physical properties of cysmethynil, such as its
low aqueous solubility, make it a poor candidate for clinical development. A
novel amino-derivative of cysmethynil with superior physical properties and
marked improvement in efficacy, termed compound 8.12, has recently been reported.
We report here that Icmt (-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) are much more
resistant to compound 8.12-induced cell death than their wild-type counterparts,
providing evidence that the anti-proliferative effects of this compound are
mediated through an Icmt specific mechanism. Treatment of PC3 prostate and HepG2
liver cancer cells with compound 8.12 resulted in pre-lamin A accumulation and
Ras delocalization from the plasma membrane, both expected outcomes from
inhibition of the Icmt-catalyzed carboxylmethylation. Treatment with compound
8.12 induced cell cycle arrest, autophagy and cell death, and abolished
anchorage-independent colony formation. Consistent with its greater in vitro
efficacy, compound 8.12 inhibited tumor growth with greater potency than
cysmethynil in a xenograft mouse model. Further, a drug combination study
identified synergistic antitumor efficacy of compound 8.12 and the epithelial
growth factor receptor (EGFR)-inhibitor gefitinib, possibly through enhancement
of autophagy. This study establishes compound 8.12 as a pharmacological inhibitor
of Icmt that is an attractive candidate for further preclinical and clinical
development.
