Famitinib (SHR1020) is a potent orally active multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that effectively inhibits the activity of c-kit, VEGFR-2, and PDGFRβ with IC50 values of 2.3 nM, 4.7 nM, and 6.6 nM, respectively [1]. It demonstrates remarkable antitumor properties in human gastric cancer cells and xenografts, inducing apoptosis [2].
c-Fms-IN-6 is a potent inhibitor of c-FMS (IC50 ≤10 nM for unphosphorylated c-FMS) and also weakly inhibits unphosphorylated c-KIT and PDGFR (IC50: > 1 μM).
c-Kit-IN-2 is a c-KITinhibitor (IC50: 82 nM), shows superior antiproliferative activities against all the three GIST cell lines, GIST430, GIST882, and GIST48 (GI50s: 1, 3, and 2 nM).
NAMPT inhibitor-linker 1, a drug-linker conjugate for ADC, integrates an NAMPT inhibitor (as a payload) with a linker. In the formulation of ADC-3, it pairs with an anti-c-Kit monoclonal antibody, demonstrating strong efficacy against c-Kit expressing cell lines, specifically GIST-T1 and NCI-H526, where it exhibits IC50 values of <3 pM and 9 pM, respectively.
Antitumor agent-70 (compound 8b) is a highly potent multi-targeted kinase inhibitor, particularly targeting c-Kit. It demonstrates remarkable anti-tumor activity and the ability to induce cell apoptosis. This compound also exhibits strong inhibition of multiple myeloma, with an IC 50 value of 0.12 μM. Therefore, Antitumor agent-70 holds great potential as an effective therapy for combating cancer, especially in cases involving c-Kit. [1]
N-Desmethyl Regorafenib N-oxide, an active metabolite of the multi-kinase inhibitor regorafenib, originates through the action of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4. This compound demonstrates efficacy in vitro by inhibiting key enzymes such as VEGFR2, Tie2, c-Kit, and B-RAF, and it exhibits tumor growth inhibition in HT-29 and MDA-MB-231 mouse xenograft models at a dosage of 1 mg/kg.
