AMG 925 is a dual inhibitor of FLT3/CDK4 kinase with IC50 values of 2nM and 3nM, respectively [1].
AMG 925 is a potent, selective, and orally available FLT3/CDK4 dual inhibitor. It also inhibits CDK6 potently in kinase assay. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines MOLM13 and Mv4-11, AMG 925 inhibits cell growth (IC50 values of 19nM and 18nM, respectively) through inhibiting P-FLT3 and P-STAT5 and inducing apoptosis. FLT3 mutants cause resistance to the current FLT3 inhibitors. AMG 925 is reported to inhibit cell growth in AML cells with FLT3 mutants FLT3-D835Y and FLT3-D835V. In AML tumor –bearing mice, administration of AMG 925 shows inhibition of P-STAT5 and P-RB as well as cell growth both in subcutaneous MOLM13 xenograft tumor model and systemic MOLM13-Luc xenograft tumor model. AMG 925 is also reported to have antitumor activity in a dose-dependent manner in theRB-positive Colo205 colon adenocarcinoma xenograft model [1].
