Description
Lestaurtinib (111358-88-4) is a potent and selective FLT3 inhibitor (IC50= 2 nM).1,2Inhibits RET and RET phosphorylation in medullary thyroid carcinoma cells.3Suppresses JAK2/STAT5 signaling and the proliferation of primary erythroid cells from patients with myeloproliferative disorders.4Potent Trk inhibitor.5Cell permeable.
Chemical Properties
Lestaurtinib is Off-White Solid
Uses
Lestaurtinib is used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML)
Uses
CEP-701 hydrate has been used as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor:
- to study its effects on early growth response protein (EGR) genes and nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation in human epithelial cells
- as a supplement in reservoir solution for co-crystallization studies with human receptor-interactingprotein kinase4 (RIPK4)
- as an FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor-gold nanoparticle conjugate to study its effects on acute myeloid leukemia
Uses
It is used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML).
Definition
ChEBI: LSM-1231 is an indolocarbazole.
Biological Activity
Potent JAK2, FLT3 and TrkA inhibitor (IC 50 values are 0.9, 3 and < 25 nM respectively) that prevents STAT5 phosphorylation (IC 50 = 20 - 30 nM). Exhibits antiproliferative activity in vitro (IC 50 = 30 - 100 nM in HEL92.1.7 cells) and is effective against myeloproliferative disorders in vivo .
Biochem/physiol Actions
CEP-701 hydrate, also known as Lestaurtinib, can repress Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (JAK2/STAT5) signaling by the specific inhibition of JAK2.
storage
-20°C (desiccate)
