/CLINICAL TRIALS/ ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry and results database of publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants conducted around the world. The Web site is maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Each ClinicalTrials.gov record presents summary information about a study protocol and includes the following: Disease or condition; Intervention (for example, the medical product, behavior, or procedure being studied); Title, description, and design of the study; Requirements for participation (eligibility criteria); Locations where the study is being conducted; Contact information for the study locations; and Links to relevant information on other health Web sites, such as NLM's MedlinePlus for patient health information and PubMed for citations and abstracts for scholarly articles in the field of medicine. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate is included in the database.

/EXPL THER/ Phorbol esters activate protein kinase C and modulate a variety of downstream cell signaling pathways. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a phorbol ester that induces differentiation or apoptosis in a variety of cell lines at low concentrations. A phase I dose escalation trial of TPA was undertaken for patients with relapsed or refractory malignancies. The starting dose was 0.063 mg/sq m and most patients were treated with an intravenous infusion of TPA on days 1-5 and 8-12 followed by a 2-week rest period prior to retreatment. Thirty-five patients were treated. A biological assay was used to monitor levels of TPA-like activity in the blood after treatment. Serious adverse events included individual episodes of gross hematuria, a grand mal seizure, syncope, and hypotension. Many patients had transient fatigue, mild dyspnea, fever, rigors, and muscular aches shortly after the infusion. Dose-limiting toxicities included syncope and hypotension at a dose of 0.188 mg/sq m. Only a single patient had evidence of tumor response. These studies establish 0.125 mg/sq m as the maximally tolerated dose when TPA is administered on this schedule.

5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Carcinogens

Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included. (See all compounds classified as Carcinogens.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

...Mouse skin localization expt...determined that at 3-6 hr after skin application /with tritiated PMA/ the keratin layer just above basal cells was highly labeled, & sebaceous glands & hair follicles were moderately labeled.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

...the major pathway in the metabolism of TPA is the hydrolysis of the two ester groups, ... in the rodent skin model all hydrolytic products lack tumor promoting activity, the major toxicological effect of TPA. The metabolic hydrolysis requires the activity of esterases, the activity of which differs between tissues and species. ... both ester groups of TPA can be hydrolysed in mouse skin and in cultured cells, giving rise to the monoesters 12-tetradecanoylphorbol and phorbol-13-acetate, as well as the product of complete hydrolysis, i.e. phorbol. Reduction of the keto group at C-3 was identified as a further metabolic pathway in mouse skin. ... Noteworthy, no other metabolites were detected in the microsomal incubations, suggesting that cytochrome 450-mediated oxidative metabolism is not involved in TPA metabolism. Ester group hydrolysis was also the only metabolic reaction observed in various cultured cells ... .

EFSA Journal 13 (12): 4321 (2015)


... the hydrolysis of TPA paralleled the loss of activity for induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). As ODC is a marker for tumor promotion, these findings suggest that all three hydrolytic metabolites of TPA (the two monoesters and phorbol) are devoid of tumor promoting activity. Marked differences in the rate of hydrolysis of TPA and a structural analogue, phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (PDD) were observed between cultured fibroblasts from various animal species, suggesting that the hydrolytic metabolism of phorbol diesters depends on the cell type and on the chemical structure of the diester ... .

EFSA Journal 13 (12): 4321 (2015)


... the metabolism of radiolabeled TPA /was studied/ in the back skin of mice in vivo. In addition to hydrolytic metabolites, several novel lipophilic metabolites were detected and identified as TPA esterified with long chain fatty acids at the C-20 hydroxyl group. These TPA-20-acylates appeared to be devoid of tumor promoting activity but were partly hydrolysed back to TPA in mouse skin ... .

5.5 Mechanism of Action

The tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), has a differential role on the regulation of the cell cycle in a variety of tumor cells. The mechanism between TPA and the cell cycle in breast cancer is not fully understood. Therefore, we investigated the regulatory mechanism of TPA on control of the cell cycle of breast cancer cells. Our results showed that TPA increased the level of p21 expression in MCF-7 cells with wild-type p53 and MDA-MB-231 cells with mutant p53 in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, TPA decreased the expression of p53 in MCF-7 cells, but did not affect MDA-MB-231 cells. We next examined the regulatory mechanism of TPA on p21 and p53 expression. Our results showed that the TPA-induced up-regulation of p21 and down-regulation of p53 was reversed by UO126 (a MEK1/2 inhibitor), but not by SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor) or SB203580 (a p38 inhibitor), although TPA increased the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK in MCF-7 cells. In addition, the TPA-induced arrest of the G2/M phase was also recovered by UO126 treatment. To confirm the expression of p21 through the MEK/ERK pathway, cells were transfected with constitutively active (CA)-MEK adenovirus. Our results showed that the expression of p21 was significantly increased by CA-MEK overexpression. Taken together, we suggest that TPA reciprocally regulates the level of p21 and p53 expression via a MEK/ERK-dependent pathway. The up-regulation of p21 in response to TPA is mediated through a p53-independent mechanism in breast cancer cells.
