Ridaforolimus (also Deforolimus , AP23573 or MK-8669 , trade name: Jenzyl) is an experimental immunosuppressant with a macrolide structure (macrocyclic lactone) and belongs to the phosphinic acid ester class . It was developed by Merck in collaboration with ARIAD Pharmaceuticals and was in the test phase until the end of 2012. It has a close structural relationship to sirolimus ( rapamycin ) and tacrolimus ( FK-506 ).
presentation
The rapamycin obtained from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus serves as the basis for the representation of Ridaforolimus . The hydroxy group of the cyclohexane ring of rapamycin is esterified with dimethylphosphinic acid chloride .
effect
Ridaforolimus, like the similar rapamycin, inhibits the protein mTOR ( mammalian target of rapamycin ). mTOR is one of the protein kinases that influence cell growth by regulating various cellular processes, including protein biosynthesis and autophagocytosis . This interferes with cell proliferation , metabolism and angiogenesis of cancer cells. It was used experimentally until 2012 in the treatment of patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma ( bone cancer ) in chemotherapy .
marketing
In November 2012, the application for marketing authorization, which was filed on June 25, 2011, was withdrawn by Merck . The application was withdrawn because the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ( CHMP ) made hints that the research results may not be sufficient to enable market entry.
administration
ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, the original manufacturer and researcher, considered developing ridaforolimus in such a way that a stent could be coated with the same drug and thus connected to an angioplasty , while at the same time preventing possible restenosis .
