Background
GLPG0187 is a broad spectrum integrin receptor antagonist with antitumor activity; inhibits αvβ1-integrin with an IC50 of 1.3 nM.
In a solid-phase assay, GLPG0187 shows selectivity for several RGD integrin receptors with IC50s of 1.3, 3.7, 2.0, 1.4, 1.2, 7.7 nM for αvβ1, αvβ3, αvβ5, αvβ6,αvβ8, and α5β1. GLPG0187 is a potent inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption and angiogenesis. Treatment with GLPG0187 dose-dependently increases the E-cadherin/vimentin ratio, rendering the cells a more epithelial, sessile phenotype. GLPG0187 dose-dependently diminishes the size of the aldehyde dehydrogenase high subpopulation of prostate cancer cells[1]. GLPG0187 treatment results in cell rounding and clumping. GLPG0187 demonstrates a dose-dependent significant reduction in tumour cell migration. GLPG0187 at all concentrations significantly reduces cell proliferation[2].
Blocking αv-integrins by GLPG0187 markedly reduces their metastatic tumor growth. Bone tumor burden is significantly lower and the number of bone metastases/mouse is significantly inhibited. The progression of bone metastases and the formation of new bone metastases during the treatment period is significantly inhibited[1].

Protocol
Cell experiment: | Tumour cell proliferation is determined using the MTS assay. PC3 cells are seeded at 10,000 cells/well in 96 well plates containing either GLPG0187 (0.5, 5, or 50 ng/mL), vehicle or media control, then cultured in 100 μL medium for 24 hr. Cell proliferation is analysed using 20 μL MTS dye incubated for 3 hr at 37°C in the dark. Absorbance from each well (6/treatment) is quantified at 490 nm and the mean fluorescence calculated. The assay is repeated at 48, 72 and 96 hr, on three independent occasions[2]. |
Animal experiment: | Mice: The effect of GLPG0187 on bone loss is evaluated in 3-month-old castrated male mice after 4 weeks of treatment with dosing starting immediately after castration (preventive protocol). Two different modes of administration are used: either subcutaneous twice daily with 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg of GLPG0187, either oral, twice daily with 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg of GLPG0187[1]. |
