MedKoo Cat#: 207104 | Name: Pexidartinib HCl
Featured New

Description:

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

Pexidartinib is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that primarily targets the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R), with additional activity against KIT and FLT3-ITD. It exhibits potent inhibition of CSF1R with an IC₅₀ of approximately 13 nM, effectively reducing macrophage proliferation and survival in CSF1R-dependent cell populations. In preclinical models, Pexidartinib demonstrated strong anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activity by depleting tumor-associated macrophages.

More Info
Biological target:
Pexidartinib hydrochloride (PLX-3397 hydrochloride) is a potent, orally active, selective, and ATP-competitive colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R or M-CSFR) and c-Kit inhibitor. Pexidartinib hydrochloride has IC50 values of 10 nM (c-Kit) and 20 nM (cFMS).
In vitro activity:
Having established the expression and activation of CSF1R in TCL, a loss-of-function strategy was adopted to address its potential oncogenic role in these TCL using complementary molecular and pharmacologic approaches. The first compound used was a clinically available and rationally designed tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is selective for CSF1R (Pexidartinib, PLX3397). In order to confirm CSF1R inhibition upon pexidartinib treatment, TCL cells with autocrine-activation of CSF1R were treated with pexidartinib. A marked decrease in CSF1R phosphorylation was observed upon treatment with pexidartinib (Figure 2A, supplementary figure 4A). Importantly, pexidartinib did not show any effect on the phosphorylation levels of the oncogenic kinase NPM-ALK which is expressed in a portion of the TCL cells evaluated (supplementary figure 4B). In addition, a dose-dependent decrease in proliferation was observed with exposure to pexidartinib (Figure 2B and supplementary figure 4D–E), however these effects were not observed in TCL cells that do not express CSF1R, supporting the relative selectivity of this FDA-approved agent (supplementary figure 4C). Consistent with these findings, treatment with pexidartinib was associated with increased apoptosis of TCL cells, as demonstrated by phosphatidylserine exposure (Figure 2C–E), PARP cleavage and Caspase 3 cleavage (Figure 2F and supplementary figure 4F).

In vivo activity:
This study tested whether attenuating the inflammatory responses could mitigate thyroid cancer progression. The mice were treated with an inhibitor of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), pexidartinib (PLX-3397; PLX). CSF1R mediates the activity of the cytokine, colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), in the production, differentiation, and functions of monocytes and macrophages. Treatment of PLX3397 (Pexidartinib; BOC Sciences Shirley, NY) was started from 6- to 7-weeks old. Mice were given PLX3397 doses of 50 mg/kg via oral gavage daily for 10 days. PLX3397 was dissolved in 10% DMSO and corn oil (sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Treatment with PLX decreased 94% and 62% of inflammatory monocytes in the thyroid and bone marrow, respectively, versus controls. Further, PLX suppressed the expression of critical cytokine and inflammation-regulating genes such as Csf1r, SPP1 (OPN), Aif1, IL6, Ccl9, Ccl3, Ccl12, and Ccr2 (25%-80%), resulting in inhibition of 89% tumor cell proliferation, evidenced by Ki-67 immunostaining. These preclinical findings suggest that inflammation occurs in the early stage of thyroid carcinogenesis and plays a critical in cancer progression. Importantly, attenuation of inflammation by inhibitors such as PLX would be beneficial in preventing thyroid cancer.
