Biological Activity
altiratinib (dcc-2701) is a potent inhibitor of c-met/tie-2/vegfr with ic50 values of 2.7, 8.0 and 9.2 nm, respectively [1].hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-met) is a tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth factor and is essential for wound healing and embryonic development. tek tyrosine kinase (tie-2) is a receptor for angiopoietin-1 (ang-1) and is important for endothelial cell-smooth muscle cell communication. vegfr is a tyrosine kinase receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor that involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.altiratinib (dcc-2701) is a potent c-met/tie-2/vegfr inhibitor. altiratinib potently inhibited met kinase and activating oncogenic met mutations and also inhibited trka, trkb and trkc kinases with ic50 values of 0.85, 4.6, and 0.83 nm, respectively. in ebc-1 nsclc and mkn-45 gastric cancer cell lines overexpressing met, altiratinib inhibited met phosphorylation with ic50 values of 0.85 and 2.2 nm, respectively. in vegf-stimulated huvecs, altiratinib inhibited vegfr2 phosphorylation with ic50 value of 4.7 nm. in huvecs and ea.hy926 cells, altiratinib inhibited tie2 phosphorylation stimulated by ang-1 with ic50 values of 1.0 and 2.6 nm, respectively [1].in the met-amplified mkn-45 xenograft model, altiratinib (30 mg/kg) inhibited met phosphorylation by >95% for the 24-hour period [1]. in nude mouse xenografted skov3 cells, dcc-2701 (10 or 20 mg/kg for 28 days) significantly reduced tumor burden by 53% and 52%, respectively [2].
