    Infobox references

    Obatoclax mesylate, also known as GX15-070, is an experimental drug for the treatment of various types of cancer. It was discovered by Gemin X, which was acquired by Cephalon, which has since been acquired by Teva Pharmaceuticals.[1] Several Phase II clinical trials were completed that investigated use of obatoclax in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, myelofibrosis, and mastocytosis.[2][3][4]

    Mechanism of action[edit]

    Obatoclax is an inhibitor of the Bcl-2 familyofproteins.[5] This inhibition induces apoptosis in cancer cells, preventing tumor growth. Solubility has been an issue in the development of the drug.[6]

    Clinical trials[edit]

    Clinical trial results have been published for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia,[7] small cell lung cancer,[8] Hodgkin's lymphoma,[9] and myelodysplastic syndromes.[10]

    Teva halted a phase III trial in patients with lung cancer before it had begun, citing "business decisions" as the reason.[11]
