Entrectinib is an orally active, blood brain barrier(BBB)-penetrated and centrally active inhibitor of TrkA/B/C, ROS1 and ALK, with IC50 values of 1, 3, 5, 12 and 7nM, respectively[1]. TrkA/B/C are neurotrophin receptors, ROS1 is an orphan receptor tyrosine kinase, and ALK is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase; all three drive tumorigenesis through fusion or mutation[2]. Entrectinib is commonly used in the study of ROS1-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors[3].
In vitro, Entrectinib (2.3-4.3μM; 48h) dose-dependently reduced viability, suppressed colony formation and EdU incorporation, and elevated apoptosis in PC12, HT22 and SK-N-SH nerve cells, with cellular IC50 values of 2.3, 4.2 and 4.3μM, respectively[4]. Entrectinib (100-400nM; 24h) dose-dependently inhibited TGF-β1-driven proliferation, migration, and myofibroblast activation of Mlg and HFL1 lung fibroblasts and blocked TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in MLE12 epithelial cells[5].
In vivo, Entrectinib (60mg/kg; BID for 7 weeks; p.o.) markedly suppressed SY5Y-TrkB xenograft growth, prolonged mouse event-free survival, and blocked TrkB, Akt and Erk phosphorylation in athymic nu/nu mice[6]. Entrectinib (10mg/kg; i.p.) reduced LPS-induced serum IL-1β and hepatic AST/ALT levels, and improved 24h survival in C57BL/6J mice[7].

Entrectinib是一种具有口服活性、可穿透血脑屏障(BBB)且在中枢神经系统起作用的TrkA/B/C、ROS1与ALK抑制剂,其IC50值分别为1、3、5、12和7nM[1]。TrkA/B/C是神经营养因子受体,ROS1为孤儿受体酪氨酸激酶,ALK则是一种间变性淋巴瘤激酶;三者均可通过基因融合或突变驱动肿瘤发生[2]。Entrectinib常用于 ROS1 重排的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)以及 NTRK 融合阳性实体瘤的研究[3]。
体外实验中,Entrectinib(2.3-4.3μM;48h)可剂量依赖性地降低PC12、HT22 与 SK-N-SH神经细胞活力,抑制集落形成和 EdU 掺入,并诱导细胞凋亡,其细胞水平 IC50分别为2.3、4.2和4.3μM[4]。Entrectinib(100-400nM;24h)亦可剂量依赖性地抑制TGF-β1诱导的Mlg和HFL1肺成纤维细胞增殖、迁移及肌成纤维细胞活化,并阻断MLE12上皮细胞的TGF-β1诱导的上皮-间充质转化(EMT)[5]。
体内实验中,Entrectinib(60mg/kg;每日两次,持续7周;口服)显著抑制SY5Y-TrkB异种移植瘤生长,延长小鼠无事件生存期,并在裸鼠中阻断TrkB、Akt与Erk的磷酸化[6]。Entrectinib(10mg/kg;腹腔注射)可降低C57BL/6J小鼠LPS诱导的血清IL-1β及肝脏AST/ALT水平,并提高24小时存活率[7]。
