Elesclomol is a small-molecule bis(thio-hydrazide amide) with oxidative stress induction, pro-apoptotic, and potential antineoplastic activities. Elesclomol induces oxidative stress, creating high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide, in both cancer cells and normal cells. Because tumor cells have elevated levels of ROS compared to normal cells, the increase in oxidative stress beyond baseline levels elevates ROS beyond sustainable levels, exhausting tumor cell antioxidant capacity, which may result in the induction of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Normal cells are spared because the increase in the level of oxidative stress induced by this agent is below the threshold at which apoptosis is induced.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Elesclomol is a first-in-class heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) inducer that activates natural killer (NK) cell-mediated tumor killing.


5.2 Mechanism of Action

Elesclomol acts through a novel mechanism of action. Elesclomol has been shown to rapidly cause a dramatic increase in oxidative stress (ROS) inside cancer cells. The prolonged elevation of ROS inside cancer cells induced by elesclomol causes the cell to exceed a critical breaking point and undergo apoptosis. The triggering of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway is observed within the first six hours of applying elesclomol. Cancer cells operate at a much higher intrinsic level of ROS than normal cells, and have a greatly reduced anti-oxidant capacity compared to normal cells. This leaves them more vulnerable to an agent such as elesclomol that elevates oxidative stress. In similar experiments at similar doses, elesclomol has been found to have little to no impact on normal cells.
