In Vitro

Telaglenastat (CB-839) exhibits potent, time-dependent, and slowly reversible inhibition of glutaminase activity in vitro. Biochemical assays using recombinant human glutaminase C (rHu-GAC) demonstrate that preincubation with CB-839 for 1 hour results in subnanomolar to low-nanomolar IC₅₀ values (<50 nM), which are at least 13-fold lower than those observed with the earlier-generation inhibitor BPTES [1]. These enzyme kinetics suggest a tight-binding, noncompetitive mode of inhibition that effectively blocks the conversion of glutamine to glutamate in glutaminolysis-dependent cancer cells.

In cellular assays, CB-839 shows marked antiproliferative activity in glutamine-addicted tumor cell lines. For instance, in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines such as HCC-1806 and MDA-MB-231, CB-839 significantly reduces cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, with IC₅₀ values in the low micromolar range. In contrast, CB-839 has minimal effect on estrogen receptor–positive (ER⁺) breast cancer cell lines like T47D, which exhibit lower dependence on glutamine metabolism [1,2].

Metabolic flux analysis using [U-¹³C]-glutamine tracers further confirms that CB-839 treatment reduces incorporation of glutamine-derived carbon into downstream TCA cycle intermediates such as α-ketoglutarate, succinate, and malate [3]. This inhibition of glutaminolysis leads to reduced ATP production and increased oxidative stress, ultimately triggering growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the cellular context.

Additionally, CB-839 has shown selective cytotoxicity in AML (acute myeloid leukemia) cell lines and primary AML blasts, but not in normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), suggesting a favorable therapeutic window [4]. These in vitro findings support the rationale for targeting glutaminase in glutamine-addicted tumors.
