DCLAK11, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, exhibits potent antitumor and antiangiogenic activity in vitro.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the molecular targets of DCLAK11, a novel compound discovered from a series of substituted pyridin-3-amine derivatives, and to characterize its anti-tumor properties in vitro.Kinase inhibition was measured by an ELISA assay. Cell viability was assessed with an SRB or a CCK8 assay. The alterations induced by kinase signaling proteins in cancer cells were detected by Western blot. Apoptosis was determined by an Annexin V-PI assay. The following assays were used to evaluate the impact on angiogenesis: wound-healing, Transwell, tube formation and microvessel outgrowth from rat aortic rings.DCLAK11 was a multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that primarily inhibited the EGFR, HER2, and VEGFR2 tyrosine kinases with IC50 value of 6.5, 18, and 31 nmol/L, respectively. DCLAK11 potently inhibited the proliferation of EGFR- and HER2-driven cancer cells: its IC50 value was 12 and 22 nmol/L, respectively, in HCC827 and HCC4006 cells with EGFR exon deletions, and 19 and 81 nmol/L, respectively, in NCI-N87 and BT474 cells with HER2 amplification. Consistently, DCLAK11 blocked the EGFR and HER2 signaling in cancer cells with either an EGFR or a HER2 aberration. Furthermore, DCLAK11 effectively induced EGFR/HER2-driven cell apoptosis. Moreover, DCLAK11 exhibited anti-angiogenic activity, as shown by its inhibitory effect on the proliferation, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells and the microvessel outgrowth of rat aortic rings.DCLAK11 is a multi-targeted kinase inhibitor with remarkable potency against tyrosine kinases EGFR, HER2 and VEGFR2, which confirms its potent anti-cancer activity in EGFR- and HER2-addicted cancers and its anti-angiogenic activity.

Project description:Purpose: Deregulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway signaling through AGC kinases including AKT, p70S6 kinase, PKA, SGK and Rho kinase, is a key driver of multiple cancers. The simultaneous inhibition of multiple AGC kinases may increase antitumor activity and minimize clinical resistance compared with a single pathway component. Experimental Design: We investigated the detailed pharmacology and antitumor activity of the novel clinical drug candidate AT13148, an oral ATP-competitive multi-AGC kinase inhibitor. Gene expression microarray studies were undertaken to characterize the molecular mechanisms of action of AT13148. Results: AT13148 caused substantial blockade of AKT, p70S6K, PKA, ROCK and SGK substrate phosphorylation and induced apoptosis in a concentration and time-dependent manner in cancer cells with clinically relevant genetic defects in vitro and in vivo. Antitumor efficacy in HER2-positive, PIK3CA-mutant BT474 breast, PTEN-deficient PC3 human prostate cancer and PTEN-deficient MES-SA uterine tumor xenografts was demonstrated. We show for the first time that induction of AKT phosphorylation at serine 473 by AT13148, as reported for other ATP-competitive inhibitors of AKT, is not a therapeutically relevant reactivation step. Gene expression studies showed that AT13148 has a predominant effect on apoptosis genes, whereas the selective AKT inhibitor CCT128930 modulates cell cycle genes. Induction of upstream regulators including IRS2 and PIK3IP1 due to compensatory feedback loops was observed. Conclusions: The clinical candidate AT13148 is a novel oral multi-AGC kinase inhibitor with potent pharmacodynamic and antitumor activity, which demonstrates a distinct mechanism of action from other AKT inhibitors. AT13148 will now be assessed in a first-in-human Phase I trial. The PTEN-deficient U87MG glioblastoma cell line was treated for 6 hours with vehicle control (DMSO) or to different concentrations of AT13148 and CCT128930 (0.1uM, 1xGI50 and 3XGI50).
