Description

Ingenol Mebutate is an active ingredient in Euphorbia peplus, acts as a potent PKC modulator, with Kis of 0.3, 0.105, 0.162, 0.376, and 0.171 nM for PKC-α, PKC-β, PKC-γ, PKC-δ, and PKC-ε, respectively, and has antiinflammatory and antitumor activity.


Ingenol mebutate is a tetracyclic diterpenoid ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoic (angelic) acid with the 3-hydroxy group of ingenol. Used for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. It is a tetracyclic diterpenoid, a carboxylic ester and a cyclic terpene ketone. It derives from an angelic acid and an ingenol.|Ingenol mebutate was approved by the FDA in January 2012, and it is marketed under the name Picato®. Picato gel is indicated for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis. Before approval, ingenol mebutate was called PEP005 as an investigational drug. PEP005 is a selective small molecule activator of protein kinase C (PKC) extracted from the plant Euphorbia peplus, whose sap has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of skin conditions including warts and cancer. PEP005 also has potent anti-leukemic effects, inducing apoptosis in myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary AML cells at nanomolar concentrations.|Ingenol mebutate is a Cell Death Inducer. The physiologic effect of ingenol mebutate is by means of Increased Cellular Death.|Ingenol Mebutate is a selective small-molecule activator of protein kinase C (PKC) isolated from the plant Euphorbia peplus with potential antineoplastic activity. Ingenol mebutate activates various protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, thereby inducing apoptosis in some tumor cells, including myeloid leukemia cells, melanoma cells, and basal cell carcinoma cells. The PKC family consists of signaling isoenzymes that regulate many cell processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Stable latent HIV reservoirs are rapidly established early after HIV infection. Therefore, effective strategies for eradication of the HIV reservoirs are urgently needed. We report that ingenol-3-angelate (PEP005), the only active component in a previously FDA approved drug (Picato) for the topical treatment of precancerous actinic keratosis, can effectively reactivate latent HIV in vitro and ex vivo with relatively low cellular toxicity. Biochemical analysis showed that PEP005 reactivated latent HIV through the induction of the pS643/S676-PKCdelta-8-1kappaBalpha/epsilon-NF-kappaB signaling pathway. Importantly, PEP005 alone was sufficient to induce expression of fully elongated and processed HIV RNAs in primary CD4+ T cells from HIV infected individuals receiving suppressive ART. Furthermore, PEP005 and the P-TEFb agonist, JQ1, exhibited synergism in reactivation of latent HIV with a combined effect that is 7.5-fold higher than the effect of PEP005 alone. Conversely, PEP005 suppressed HIV infection of primary CD4+ T cells through down-modulation of cell surface expression of HIV co-receptors. This anti-cancer compound is a potential candidate for advancing HIV eradication strategies.|EXPL /The purpose of this study was/ to evaluate the safety of two applications of PEP005 (ingenol mebutate) gel in superficial basal cell carcinoma. Efficacy was a secondary end-point. Randomized, vehicle-controlled, phase IIa study conducted at eight private dermatology clinics in Australia /evaluated/ a total of 60 patients with histologically confirmed superficial basal cell carcinoma (lesion size, 4-15 mm). /They/ were randomized to treatment on days 1 and 2 (Arm A) or days 1 and 8 (Arm B) and, within each arm, to ingenol mebutate gel, 0.0025%, 0.01% or 0.05%, or vehicle gel. The main outcome measures were the incidence and severity of adverse events and local skin responses in Arms A and B; lesion clearance at day 85 was a secondary measure. The incidence of adverse events was low. One patient treated with ingenol mebutate gel, 0.05% in Arm A experienced severe flaking/scaling/dryness extending beyond the application site. Non-severe, potentially treatment-related events included erythema extending beyond the application site, application-site pain and headache in two patients each. Six patients in Arm A had one or more severe local skin responses. Efficacy appeared to be dose-related and there was a trend towards higher clinical and histological lesion clearance rates in Arm A compared with Arm B. Histological clearance occurred in five of eight patients (63%) randomized to ingenol mebutate gel, 0.05% in Arm A. Two applications of ingenol mebutate gel, 0.05%, are safe and have efficacy in patients with superficial basal cell carcinoma.

The pharmacodynamics of ingenol mebutate in producing cell death in actinic keratosis is unknown.

Since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment, the systemic absorption is less than 0.1 ng/mL.|There is no route of elimination since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment.|There is no volume of distribution quantity since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment.|There is no clearance quantity since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment.|Plasma clearance and volume of distribution (steady-state) in humans were estimated using a simple allometric correlation based on body weight. Using a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination kinetics, it was estimated that dermal administration of the maximum intended clinical dose of 2 ug/kg/day would produce levels of ingenol mebutate in the blood below the LLOQ of 0.1 ng/mL. Blood clearance and volume of distribution at steady-state were predicted to range from approximately 0.22 to 1.01 L/hr/kg and approximately 0.61 L/kg, respectively. The absorption rate constant and topical bioavailability was projected to be 0.0277 hours-1 and 0.21%, respectively. A human blood Tmax of 2 hours and Cmax of 0.107 pg/mL were predicted for a 2 ug/kg/day topical dose. A minimum topical dose of 2000 ug/kg/day to humans would be required produce detectable blood levels.|After IV administration, a high to very high blood clearance, moderate to high volume of distribution at steady-state and short half-life were observed in rats, rabbits, dogs and minipigs. Following IV administration of 3(H)-ingenol mebutate to rats, drug-related radioactivity was well distributed to the tissues and there were no gender differences in the organs exposed but elimination was faster in females. In vitro, ingenol mebutate and its isomers were shown to have high plasma protein binding in rats, dogs, minipigs and humans (>99%). In rats, the majority of an intravenous dose of 3(H)-ingenol mebutate was excreted via the biliary route, with urinary excretion as a minor pathway.|After in vitro applications of 0.01%, 0.1% or 0.05% PEP005 Gels to rat, mini-pig and human skin preparations, the percutaneous absorption was generally low, with a range of 0.04% (mini-pig) to 8.68% (rat) across animal species and 0.16% to 1.93% in humans. The absorbed doses of 3(H)-ingenol mebutate were in the order of WI rat > SD rat > human > mini-pig. After topical administration of PEP005 Gel to mini-pigs, blood levels of ingenol mebutate were generally not detected, and when detected, ranged up to 0.1 ng/mL. After topical administration of ingenol mebutate to rats, blood levels were consistently quantifiable only at doses of 300 ug/kg or greater, in which case the absolute bioavailability was 2% to 4%.|The systemic exposure to Picato gel, 0.05% was assessed in two studies in a total of 16 subjects with AK, following application of approximately 1 g of Picato gel, 0.05% to an area of 100 cm2 of the dorsal forearm once daily for two consecutive days. In these studies, the blood levels of ingenol mebutate and two of its metabolites (acyl isomers of ingenol mebutate) were measured. Blood levels of ingenol mebutate and the two metabolites were below the lower limit of quantification (0.1 ng/mL) in all the blood samples of the subjects evaluated.

There is no metabolism of Picato since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment, and ingenol mebutate does not inhibit or induce a majority of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes.|The in vitro metabolism of ingenol mebutate was qualitatively similar in blood, skin homogenates and hepatocytes of rats, dogs, minipigs and humans. Ingenol mebutate was found to be relatively stable in blood and skin homogenates, and to undergo extensive metabolism in cryopreserved hepatocytes. The major pathway in rat, dog and minipig hepatocytes was hydrolysis to ingenol, whereas the major pathway in humans was hydroxylation of ingenol mebutate. In the skin of rats, dogs, minipigs and humans, rearrangement of ingenol mebutate was predominantly to PEP015 (approximately 26% to approximately 31%) and, to a much lesser extent, PEP025 (approximately 1% to approximately 2%); hydrolysis to ingenol was minimal (0% to 0.81%). However, after topical or IV administration of ingenol mebutate to rats and minipigs, PEP025 was not detected and PEP015 was less than 10% of the corresponding ingenol mebutate concentration in the blood.

There is no half-life quantity since ingenol mebutate is a topical treatment.

The exact mechanism of action of ingenol mebutate in actinic keratosis is unknown. It is presumed to involve primary necrosis then neutrophil-mediated inflammation and antibody-dependent cell death of residual disease cells. Additionally in early studies, PEP005 was shown to be an effective activator of PKC-delta and PKC-delta translocation into nucleus and membranes. PEP005 also downregulates the expression and activity of PKC-alpha. PEP005 induced modulation of PKCs leads to Ras/Raf/MAPK and p38 activation and AKT/PKB inhibition.|We investigated the proposed necrotic mechanism of ingenol mebutate, a natural compound with anti-cancer properties in human keratinocytes, the human squamous cell carcinoma cell line HSC-5, and HeLa cervix carcinoma cells. Topical application of a clinical dose of ingenol mebutate 0.05% (1.15 mM) gel to human reconstituted full-thickness skin equivalents strongly reduced epidermal, but not dermal viability. Ingenol mebutate showed cytotoxic potency between 200-300 uM on normal and cancer cells. When keratinocytes were induced to differentiate, they became significantly less sensitive to ingenol mebutate and half-maximal induction of cell death required more than 300 uM ingenol mebutate. Cytotoxic concentrations of ingenol mebutate caused rupture of the mitochondrial network within minutes paralleled by cytosolic calcium release in all cells. Subsequently, plasma membrane integrity was lost as seen by propidium uptake into the cells. This was in sharp contrast to lysis of cells with low concentrations of the detergent Triton X-100 that permeabilized the plasma membrane within minutes without affecting organelle morphology. Buffering of intracellular calcium and inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore reduced the cytotoxic effect of ingenol mebutate in cancer cells, but not in normal keratinocytes. However, these inhibitors could not prevent cell death subsequent to prolonged incubation. Our findings reveal that ingenol mebutate does not mediate cytotoxicity by a simple lytic, necrotic mechanism, but activates distinct processes involving multiple cell organelles in a cell-type and differentiation-dependent manner. These data improve our understanding of ingenol mebutate-target cell interactions and offer new insights relevant to the removal of aberrant cells in human skin.|Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common human skin cancer and the second leading cause of skin cancer-related death. Recently, a new compound, ingenol mebutate, was approved for treatment of actinic keratosis, a precursor of SCC. As the mechanism of action is poorly understood, we have further investigated the mechanism of ingenol mebutate-induced cell death. We elucidate direct effects of ingenol mebutate on primary keratinocytes, patient-derived SCC cells, and a SCC cell line. Transcriptional profiling followed by pathway analysis was performed on ingenol mebutate-treated primary keratinocytes and patient-derived SCC cells to find key mediators and identify the mechanism of action. Activation of the resulting pathways was confirmed in cells and human skin explants and supported by a phosphorylation screen of treated primary cells. The necessity of these pathways was demonstrated by inhibition of certain pathway components. Ingenol mebutate inhibited viability and proliferation of all keratinocyte-derived cells in a biphasic manner. Transcriptional profiling identified the involvement of PKC/MEK/ERK signaling in the mechanism of action and inhibition of this signaling pathway rescued ingenol mebutate-induced cell death after treatment with 100 nmol/L ingenol mebutate, the optimal concentration for the first peak of response. We found the interleukin decoy receptors IL1R2 and IL13RA2 induced by ingenol mebutate in a PKC/MEK/ERK-dependent manner. Furthermore, siRNA knockdown of IL1R2 and IL13RA2 partially rescued ingenol mebutate-treated cells. In conclusion, we have shown that ingenol mebutate-induced cell death is mediated through the PKCd/MEK/ERK pathway, and we have functionally linked the downstream induction of IL1R2 and IL13RA2 expression to the reduced viability of ingenol mebutate-treated cells.|Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases are important regulators of immune cell survival. Ingenol 3-angelate (PEP005) activates a broad range of PKC isoforms and induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells by activating the PKC isoform PKCdelta. We show here that, in contrast to its effect on leukemic cells, PEP005 provides a strong survival signal to resting and activated human T cells. The antiapoptotic effect depends upon the activation of PKC. This PKC isoform is expressed in T cells but is absent in myeloid cells. Further studies of the mechanism involved in this process showed that PEP005 inhibited activated CD8(+) T cell apoptosis through the activation of NFkappaB downstream of PKC, leading to increased expression of the antiapoptotic proteins Mcl-1 and Bcl-x(L). Transfection of CD8(+) T cells with dominant-negative PKC diminished the prosurvival effect of PEP005 significantly. Ectopic expression of PKC in the acute myeloid leukemia cell line NB4 turned their response to PEP005 from an increased to decreased rate of apoptosis. Therefore, in contrast to myeloid leukemia cells, PEP005 provides a strong survival signal to T cells, and the expression of functional PKC influences whether PKC activation leads to an anti- or proapoptotic outcome in the cell types tested.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Healthy volunteers were enrolled in single-center, randomized, controlled, within-subject comparison trials. PEP005-005 was designed as a repeat-insult patch test study. In PEP005-023, treatment areas were examined after irradiation for photoirritation potential; dermal reactions were evaluated. In PEP005-024, irradiation was performed to determine the photoallergic (photosensitizing) potential of the medication. All treatment areas were graded immediately prior to irradiation and 24, 48, and 72 hours following irradiation. In all studies, local tolerability was assessed visually using an ordinal scoring system at set intervals before and after medication application/irradiation. In PEP005-005 (n=238), a significant difference (p<0.001) was seen between ingenol mebutate and vehicle for mean and total cumulative irritation scores. In PEP005-023 (n=34), mild erythema in all irradiated treatment areas was as expected for the ultraviolet dose. There was no clinically significant irritation in response to ingenol mebutate or vehicle, irrespective of irradiation. In PEP005-024 (n=60), there was no significant irritation in response to either ingenol mebutate or vehicle at their irradiated treatment areas. Results from three pharmacology studies in healthy volunteers indicate a favorable topical safety profile for ingenol mebutate gel, with no evidence seen of skin sensitization, photoirritation, or photoallergic potential.|/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Topical overdosing of Picato gel could result in an increased incidence of local skin reactions.|/CASE REPORTS/ Actinic keratoses (AKs) are defined as cutaneous areas of atypical squamous transformation that are regarded as an early step in the continuum of alterations leading from normal skin to invasive and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). AKs are classified as precancerous lesions by some authors and in situ SCC by others. The rate of evolution of a given AK to an invasive SCC has been estimated as 0.075-0.096% per lesion per year. These rates are similar to those estimated for gynaecological intraepithelial neoplasia. We describe two cases of SCC with rapid onset that developed after the application of ingenol mebutate gel for the treatment of AKs.|/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ PEP005 is a novel ingenol angelate that modulates protein kinases C (PKC) functions by activating PKC delta and inhibiting PKC alpha. This study assessed the antiproliferative effects of PEP005 alone and in combination with several other anticancer agents in a panel of 10 human cancer cell lines characterized for expression of several PKC isoforms. PEP005 displayed antiproliferative effects at clinically relevant concentrations with a unique cytotoxicity profile that differs from that of most other investigated cytotoxic agents, including staurosporine. In a subset of colon cancer cells, the IC(50) of PEP005 ranged from 0.01-140 microM. The antiproliferative effects of PEP005 were shown to be concentration- and time-dependent. In Colo205 cells, apoptosis induction was observed at concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 3 microM. Exposure to PEP005 also induced accumulation of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In addition, PEP005 increased the phosphorylation of PKC delta and p38. In Colo205 cells, combinations of PEP005 with several cytotoxic agents including oxaliplatin, SN38, 5FU, gemcitabine, doxorubicin, vinorelbine, and docetaxel yielded sequence-dependent antiproliferative effects. Cell cycle blockage induced by PEP005 in late G1 lasted for up to 24 h and therefore a 24 hr lag-time between PEP005 and subsequent exposure to cytotoxics was required to optimise PEP005 combinations with several anticancer agents. These data support further evaluation of PEP005 as an anticancer agent and may help to optimize clinical trials with PEP005-based combinations in patients with solid tumors.|/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Studies have been conducted to assess the effects of UV irradiation on the skin following single and multiple applications of ingenol mebutate, 100 ug/g. Ingenol mebutate gel did not demonstrate any potential for photo-irritation or photo-allergic effects.
