Description:

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

AZD5438 is a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 1, 2, and 9 (IC(50), 16, 6, and 20 nmol/L, respectively). In vitro, AZD5438 showed significant antiproliferative activity in human tumor cell lines (IC(50) range, 0.2-1.7 micromol/L), causing inhibition of the phosphorylation of cdk substrates pRb, nucleolin, protein phosphatase 1a, and RNA polymerase II COOH-terminal domain and blocking cell cycling at G(2)-M, S, and G(1) phases.

More Info
Phase I study of AZD-5438:  Sixty-four patients were included across the three studies (19, 17 and 28, respectively). Nausea and vomiting were the most common adverse events. When dosed continuously, 40 mg four times daily was considered intolerable, and due to safety issues, all studies were terminated prematurely. Consequently, no intolerable dose was identified during the weekly schedule. Pharmacokinetics demonstrated dose-proportional exposure, high interpatient variability and accumulation after multiple doses. Skin biopsies indicated reduced retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation at cdk2 phospho-sites; other pharmacodynamic assessments did not reveal consistent trends. AZD5438 was generally well tolerated in a weekly dosing schedule, but not in continuous schedules. The clinical development programme for AZD5438 was discontinued owing to tolerability and exposure data from these studies (source: Ann Oncol. 2010 Apr;21(4):884-94. ).      
Product Data
Biological target:
AZD-5438 is a potent CDK1, CDK2, and CDK9 inhibitor, with IC50s of 16 nM, 6 nM, and 20 nM in cell-free assays, respectively.
In vitro activity:
The most conspicuous changes observed in AZD5438-treated cells included cell shrinkage, increased brightness, and detachment from the substratum. These changes became visible after 72h of AZD5438 treatment but were absent in control cells treated with DMSO, suggesting that cells treated with AZD5438 died by apoptosis. Reference: Apoptosis. 2014 Mar; 19(3): 451–466. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945523/
In vivo activity:
In addition, mouse pretreatment experiments using a single dose of AZD5438 (75 mg/kg) delivered via oral gavage demonstrated that AZD5438 protected against both cisplatin- and noise-induced hearing loss (fig. S7, A to D). Reference: Sci Adv. 2020 Dec; 6(49): eabd0561. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7821884/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
