Description
BMS-599626 (AC480) is a selective and efficacious inhibitor of HER1 and HER2 with IC50 of 20 nM and 30 nM, ~8-fold less potent to HER4, >100-fold to VEGFR2, c-Kit, Lck, MET etc. Phase 1.
Chemical Name
(S)-morpholin-3-ylmethyl 4-(1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazol-5-ylamino)-5-methylpyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazin-6-ylcarbamate
In vitro
BMS-599626 also inhibits the related receptor HER4, but with reduced potency with IC50 of 190 nM. BMS-599626 is identified as an ATP-competitive inhibitor for HER1 and as an ATP-noncompetitive inhibitor for HER2 with Ki of 2 nM and 5 nM, respectively. BMS-599626 inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells expressing high levels of HER1 and/or HER2, including Sal2, BT474, N87, KPL-4, HCC202, HCC1954, HCC1419, AU565, ZR-75-30, MDA-MB-175, GEO, and PC9 cells with IC50 of 0.24 μM, 0.31 μM, 0.45 μM, 0.38μM, 0.94 μM, 0.34 μM, 0.75 μM, 0.63 μM, 0.51 μM, 0.84 μM, 0.90 μM and 0.34 μM, respectively. While the proliferation of the ovarian tumor cell line A2780 and MRC5 fibroblasts, neither of which expresses HER1 or HER2, are not inhibited significant by BMS-599626. A recent study shows that BMS-599626 significantly enhances the radiosensitivity of HN-5 cells expressing both EGFR and Her2 cell, by promoting cycle redistribution and inhibiting DNA repair.
In vivo
In vivo, oral administration of BMS-599626 results in a dose-dependent inhibition of Sal2 tumor growth at doses ranging from 60 mg/kg to 240 mg/kg, yielding a potent antitumor activity in a human breast tumor KPL-4 xenograft at its maximum tolerated dose of 180 mg/kg, and also has similar antitumor activity in other HER2 amplified xenograft models, as well as other HER1-overexpressing xenograft models.
