ATM kinase signals DNA double strand breaks (DSB) to cell cycle arrest via p53 and DNA repair. ATM-defective cells are sensitive to DSB-inducing agents, making ATM an attractive target for anticancer chemo- and radio-sensitisation. KU59403 is an ATM inhibitor with the potency, selectivity and solubility for advanced pre-clinical evaluation. KU59403 was not cytotoxic to human cancer cell lines (SW620, LoVo, HCT116 and MDA-MB-231) per se but significantly increased the cytotoxicity of topoisomerase I and II poisons: camptothecin, etoposide and doxorubicin. Chemo- and radio-sensitisation by ATM inhibition was not p53-dependent. Following administration to mice, KU59403 distributed to tissues and concentrations exceeding those required for in vitro activity were maintained for at least 4 hr in tumour xenografts. KU59403 significantly enhanced the antitumour activity of topoisomerase poisons in mice bearing human colon cancer xenografts (SW620 and HCT116) at doses that were non-toxic alone and well tolerated in combination. Chemosensitisation was both dose and schedule-dependent. KU59403 represents a major advance in ATM inhibitor development, being the first compound to demonstrate good tissue distribution and significant chemo-sensitisation in in vivo models of human cancer, without major toxicity. KU59403 provides the first proof-of-principle pre-clinical data to support the future clinical development of ATM inhibitors.
