Elimusertib (BAY 1895344) hydrochloride is a potent, orally active and selective ATR inhibitor with an IC50 of 7 nM. Elimusertib hydrochloride has anti-tumor activity[1][2]. Elimusertib hydrochloride can be used for the research of solid tumors and lymphomas[3].
Elimusertib hydrochloride potently inhibits the proliferation of a broad spectrum of human tumor cell lines with a median IC50 of 78 nM[1].Elimusertib hydrochloride potently suppresses hydroxyurea-induced H2AX phosphorylation (IC50: 36 nM)[1].Elimusertib hydrochloride shows good selectivity against mTOR (ratio of IC50 values: mTOR/ATR 61)[3].Elimusertib hydrochloride reveals high selectivity against other related kinases, such as DNA-PK (IC50: 332 nM), ATM (IC50: 1420 nM), and PI3K (IC50: 3270 nM)[3].Elimusertib hydrochloride has potent antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines in vitro, 25 for example in the CRC cell lines HT-29 (IC50: 160 nM) and LoVo (IC50: 71 nM), and in the B-cell lymphoma cell line SU-DHL-8 (IC50: 9 nM)[3].
Elimusertib hydrochloride shows potent anti-tumor efficacy in monotherapy in a variety of xenograft models of ovarian and colorectal cancer, and causes complete tumor remission in mantle cell lymphoma models[2].Elimusertib hydrochloride (50 mg/kg; p.o.; b.i.d.; 3 days on/4 days off; for 11 days) exhibits strong antitumor efficacy in the ATM-mutated SU-DHL-8 (ATM K1964E) human GCB-DLBCL cell line derived xenograft model in mice[3].Elimusertib hydrochloride (20 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg from day 14; p.o.; daily; 2 days on/5 days off; for 42 days) in combination with Carboplatin (40 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 1 day on/6 days off) results in synergistic antitumor activity in the platinum-resistant ATM protein low expressing CR5038 human CRC PDX model in NOD/SCID mice[3].Elimusertib hydrochloride exhibits moderate oral bioavailability (rat 87%, dog 51%) following oral administration (rat and dog 0.6-1 mg/kg)[3].Elimusertib hydrochloride exhibits terminal elimination half-lives (mouse 0.17 h, rat 1.3 and, dog 1.0 h) due to plasma clearance (3.5, 1.2, and 0.79 L/h/kg respectively) following intravenous administration (mouse, rat and dog 0.3-0.5 mg/kg)[3].
