ZB716 , also known as fulvestrant-3-boronic acid , is a synthetic , steroidal , orally active antiestrogen which is under development for the treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer .[ 1] The drug is a silent antagonist of the ERα (IC50 = 4.1 nM) as well as a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD).[ 1] It is an analogue and prodrug of fulvestrant in which the C3 hydroxyl group has been replaced with a boronic acid moiety .[ 1] In accordance, the two drugs have similar pharmacodynamic properties.[ 1] However, whereas fulvestrant is not orally active and must be administered via intramuscular injection , ZB716 is less susceptible to first-pass metabolism , and in relation to this, is orally active.[ 1]
A single oral dose of 8.3 mg/kg ZB716 to mice has been found to result in an over 160 ng/mL (160,000 pg/mL) maximal concentration of the drug in circulation, a level far in excess of the 15.2 ng/mL (15,200 pg/mL) concentration achieved with subcutaneous injection of fulvestrant in mice.[ 1] As such, not only may ZB716 be more convenient to administer in humans, it has far greater bioavailability compared to fulvestrant and hence may allow for greater systemic exposure and therapeutic benefit.[ 1]
ZB716 produces fulvestrant as an active metabolite in vivo in mice, with approximately 10 to 15% of the drug being converted into it.[ 1] As such, most of the effects are likely due to the parent drug.[ 1]
Clinical Development
As of December 2020, it is in a phase I clinical trial for ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer.[ 2]
