[Antitumor activity of miproxifene phosphate (TAT-59) against human mammary carcinoma].
DP-TAT-59, an active metabolite of miproxifene phosphate (TAT-59), showed a strong anti-proliferating activity against ER-positive human mammary carcinoma cell lines, MCF-7 and T-47D, in the presence of 1 nM of estradiol. The ED50 value of DP-TAT-59 for each cell line was 30-fold lower than that of tamoxifen. TAT-59 suppressed the growth of mammary carcinoma, MCF-7 and Br-10, xenografted into nude mouse at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day, which is equivalent to 20 mg/body of daily dose to the patients. TAT-59 inhibited the growth of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell lines, R-27 and FST-1, but not tamoxifen, suggesting the possible efficacy of TAT-59 for tamoxifen-refractory patients. DP-TAT-59 and DM-DP-TAT-59, major metabolites of TAT-59 detected in blood after oral administration in the patients, exhibited equal growth-inhibitory activity against human mammary tumor xenograft, meaning the antitumor activity of TAT-59 may equally depend on these two metabolites. In uterotrophic testing using both immature mice and ovariectomized rats, while the effective dose of TAT-59 was lower than that of tamoxifen, TAT-59 showed dose-dependent estrogenic activity against their uteri, similar to tamoxifen. These results suggested that TAT-59 had a stronger antagonistic activity against estrogen-dependent mammary tumor than tamoxifen. We expect that TAT-59 will become an effective therapeutic agent for patients with high estrogen levels in their blood, such as premenopausal women, and the patients with whom the tamoxifen modality failed.
