In vitro
CH5424802 prevents autophosphorylation of ALK in NCI-H2228 NSCLC cells expressing EML4-ALK. CH5424802 also suppresses the phosphorylation of STAT3 and AKT, but not of ERK1/2. CH5424802 completely inhibits the phosphorylation of STAT3 at Tyr705. CH5424802 is preferentially efficacious against NCI-H2228 cells expressing EML4-ALK, but not ALK fusion-negative NSCLC cell lines, including HCC827 cells (EGFR exon 19 deletion), A549 cells (KRAS mutant), or NCI-H522 cells (EGFR wild-type, KRAS wild-type, and ALK wild-type) in monolayer culture.
