Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and aggressive primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy. YM155 is a highly potent broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug that was derived from a phenotypic screen for functional inhibitors of survivin expression, but for which the relevant biomolecular target remains unknown. Presumably as a result of its lack of cell-type selectivity, YM155 has suffered from tolerability issues in the clinic. Based on its structural similarity to the GBM-selective prodrug RIPGBM, here, we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of a prodrug form of YM155, termed aYM155. aYM155 displays potent cell killing activity against a broad panel of patient-derived GBM cancer stem-like cells (IC50= 0.7–10 nM), as well as EGFR-amplified and EGFR variant III-expressing (EGFRvIII) cell lines (IC50= 3.8–36 nM), and becomes activated in a cell-type-dependent manner. Mass spectrometry-based analysis indicates that enhanced cell-type selectivity results from relative rates of prodrug activation in transformed versus non-transformed cell types. The prodrug strategy also facilitates transport into the brain (brain-to-plasma ratio, aYM155 = 0.56; YM155 = BLQ). In addition, we determine that the survivin-suppressing and apoptosis-inducing activities of YM155 involve its interaction with receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2). In an orthotopic intracranial GBM xenograft model, aYM155 prodrug significantly inhibits brain tumor growthin vivo, which correlates with cell-type selective survivin-based pharmacodynamic effects.
