ERK1 2 inhibitor 1 is a potent, orally bioavailable ERK1 2 inhibitor, showing 60% inhibition at 1 nM and an IC50 of 3.0 nM against ERK1 and ERK2, respectively.
Protein kinase D (PKD), a serine threonine protein kinase activated by diacylglycerol downstream of PKC signaling, has three human isoforms that modulate cell proliferation, survival, invasion, and protein transport. CRT0066101 acts as an inhibitor of these three PKD isoforms, with IC50 values of 1, 2.5, and 2 nM for PKD1, PKD2, and PKD3, respectively. It demonstrates selectivity for PKD over a range of more than 90 protein kinases, including PKCα, PKBα, MEK, ERK, c-Raf, c-Src, and c-Abl. This specificity allows CRT0066101 to inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and notably reduce the viability of pancreatic cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo.
Rineterkib hydrochloride (compound B) is an orally active RAF and ERK1 2 inhibitor in the treatment of a proliferative disease characterized by activating mutations in the MAPK pathway. The activity is particularly related to the treatment of KRAS-mutant NSCLC, BRAF-mutant NSCLC, KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer, KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer (CRC) and KRAS-mutant ovarian cancer[1]. ERK-IN-1 (compound B) (50, 75 mg kg, p.o., qd q2d, 27 days) treatment significantly reduces the tumor volume in the Calu-6 human NSCLC subcutaneous tumor xenograft model in mice[1]. [1].
