Lerociclib (G1T38)

Cell experiment:

SupT1, Daudi, MCF7, ZR-75-1, A2058, WM2664, and H69 cells are seeded at 1000 cells per well; MV-4-11 and BV173 cells are plated at 4000 cells per well; Tom-1 cells are plated at 8,000 cells per well; NALM-1 cells are plated at 20,000 cells per well in Costar 3903 96 well plates. After 24 hours, plates are dosed with Lerociclib (G1T38) at a nine-point dose concentration from 10 μM to 1 nM. Cell viability is determined after four or six days. Plates are processed on BioTek Synergy2 multi-mode plate reader and data analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5 statistical software[1].

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]Female MMTV-NEU mice are used to test the efficacy of Lerocyclib (G1T38) (100 mpk, medicated diet). At time of treatment, body composition is assessed and weight measurements (in grams) are recorded and used as a measure of gross toxicity. Female nude mice are implanted with NSCLC PDX CTG0159 tumor. Mice are then randomized into treatment groups and dosing initiated once tumors reached a volume that fell within the range of 150-300 mm3. 100 mg/kg Lerociclib (G1T38) or vehicle is orally administered for 28 consecutive days. Female NCI Ath/nu mice are implanted with H1975 NSC lung adenocarcinoma model. Once tumors reach an average size of 100-150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment cohorts. Mice are orally administered daily afatinib (20 mg/kg), erlotinib (70 mg/kg), or Lerociclib (50 or 100 mg/kg), as single agents or in combination (Lerociclib+erlotinib or Lerociclib+afatinib) for the duration of the study. All tumors are measured twice weekly until mice reach tumor burden of 1500 mm3.
