Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Prexasertib, also know LY2606368, is a small molecule checkpoint kinase inhibitor that causes DNA double-strand breaks, which results in apoptosis. Prexasertib is mainly active against CHEK1, with minor activity against CHEK2. Preclinical studies have shown that prexasertib induces DNA damage and tumor cell apoptosis in monotherapy. Prexasertib may also potentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents and reverse tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

Biological target:
Prexasertib inhibits CHK1, CHK2, and RSK1 with IC50s of <1 nM, 8 nM, and 9 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
The efficacy of the Checkpoint kinase 1/2 (Chk 1/2) inhibitor prexasertib mesylate in B-/T- cell progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was evaluated. Prexasertib reduced the cell viability in a dose and time dependent manner in all treated cell lines. The cytotoxic activity was confirmed by the increment of apoptotic cells (Annexin V/Propidium Iodide staining), by the increase of γH2A.X protein expression and by the activation of different apoptotic markers (Parp-1 and pro-Caspase3 cleavage). Furthermore, the inhibition of Chk1 changed the cell cycle profile. Prexasertib reduced the amount of cells in G1 and G2/M phase while increasing the number of cells in S phase.

In vivo activity:
The antitumor efficacy of LY2606368 was investigated in a syngeneic flank tumor model generated from subcutaneous injection of cells (TKO.mTmG) derived from a GEMM (genetically engineered mouse model) with conditional loss of Trp53, p130, and Rb1 in the neuroendocrine cells of the lung (23, 24). These mice developed tumors that closely resembled human SCLC (small cell lung cancer). Tumor-bearing mice (n = 9 per group) were treated with LY2606368 or vehicle. Within 1 week of the start of treatment with LY2606368, remarkable tumor regression was observed (Fig. 3A; Supplementary Fig. S3B). Of the 9 mice treated with LY2606368 (10 mg/kg, twice daily, days 1–3 of a 7-day cycle; i.e., 60 mg/kg per week), 6 had a complete response (100% reduction) and the other 3 had >75% reduction in tumor volume. The tumor–control ratio at day 12 was 0.02 (P < 0.001). Mice treated with a lower dose of LY2606368 (16 mg/kg, twice daily, day 1 of a 7-day cycle; i.e., 32 mg/kg per week) had stable disease for up to 30 days, with a tumor–control ratio of 0.16 (P < 0.001; Fig. 3A; Supplementary Fig. S3B). In contrast, all vehicle-treated mice (n = 9) experienced rapid tumor progression and were removed from the experiment because of excessive tumor volume within two weeks (Fig. 3A and B; Supplementary Fig. S3B).
