Here, we describe a novel DHODH inhibitor, JNJ-74856665, that showed strong efficacy in a subset of AML samples. The transcriptional regulator SREBF2, known to control cholesterol and lipid metabolism, was upregulated in DHODHi sensitive AMLs, and a strong synergy was observed between combination of both DHODHi and the SREBP inhibitor dipyridamole. Our data indicate that combined DHODH and SREBP inhibition is of interest to explore further as a therapeutic target option in AML.

Combination of JNJ-74856665 with azacitidine in vivo demonstrated lack of antagonism in the anti-leukemic activity.The results described herein demonstrate that JNJ-74856665 exerts potent anti-leukemic activity in vitro and in vivo and warrant further investigation. To that end, a phase 1 clinical trial assessing the safety and efficacy of JNJ-74856665 in patients with AML and MDS is planned to initiate shortly.
