LDC1267

Kinase binding assays

For optimization of Axl/TAM receptor inhibitors, an Axl binding assay was established (HTRF method; Kinase tracer 236). This assay was based on the binding and displacement of the Alexa Fluor 647-labelled Kinase tracer 236 to each glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged kinase used in the binding assay. Binding of the tracer to the kinase was detected by using europium (Eu)-labelled anti-GST antibodies. Simultaneous binding of both the fluorescent tracer and the Eu-labelled antibodies to the GST-tagged kinase generated a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal. Binding of inhibitor to the kinase competed for binding with the tracer, resulting in a loss of the FRET signal. For the assay, the compound was diluted in 20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 1 mM DTT, 10 mM MgCl2 and 0.01% Brij35. Then, the kinase of interest (5 nM final concentration), fluorescent tracer (15 nM final concentration) and LanthaScreen Eu-anti-GST antibody (2 nM final concentration) were mixed with the respective compound dilutions (from 5 nM to 10 μM) and incubated for 1 hr. The FRET signal was quantified using an EnVision Multilabellreader 2104.

Cell lines

93 cancer cell lines and 2 primary cells (i.e. IMR90 and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells)

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months.

Reacting condition

0 ~ 35 μM; 72 hrs

Applications

In 11 of 95 selected cell lines, LDC1267 moderately affected cell proliferation with the IC50 values of > 5 μM. In NKG2D-activated NK cells, LDC1267 abolished the inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and IFN-γ production induced by Gas6 stimulation.

Animal models

Mice bearing B16F10 metastatic melanomas

Dosage form

20 mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

In mice bearing B16F10 metastatic melanomas, LDC1267 efficiently increased anti-metastatic NK cell activity, and inhibited tumor metastases without severe cytotoxicity.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
