Comment: ErSO-TFPy is a small molecule that exhibits potent cytotoxicity in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive tumour cells and xenograft models [2]. It is reported to hyperactivate the anticipatory unfolded protein response (a-UPR; a tumour protective mechanism associated with mitogenic steroid and peptide hormone receptors [4]), converting this stress response from cytoprotective to cytotoxic. Experimental evidence supports direct interaction of ErSO-like compounds with ERα, although the binding is not competitive with estrogen [1]. Interaction of ErSO-like compounds with the cation selective channel TRPM4 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4) is proposed to induce osmotic stress that leads to sustained lethal a-UPR hyperactivation [3].

Bioactivity Comments |
IC50 for ErSO-TFPy is 4-5 nM as determined in viability assays using ERα+ve MCF-7 cells [2]. In mice a single dose of ErSO-TFPy was able to completely eradicate sensitive tumours, with no regrowth detected after extended periods of observation, including in a fulvestrant-resistant, ERα-mutant, patient-derived xenograft model. |
