BLZ-945 is a selective inhibitor of the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) with an IC50 value of 1 nM. It is more than 1,000-fold selective against its closest receptor tyrosine kinase homologs. It has been shown to inhibit CSF1-dependent proliferation with an EC50 value of 67 nM in bone marrow-derived macrophages. In glioma-bearing mice, CSF1R inhibition via BLZ-945 can block tumor progression and significantly improve survival. At 200 mg/kg, BLZ-945 decreased the growth of malignant cells in a mouse mammary tumor virus-driven polyomavirus middle T antigen model of mammary carcinogenesis and in a keratin 14-expressing human papillomavirus type 16 transgenic model of cervical carcinogenesis.
