Description:

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

BML-277, also known as Chk2 Inhibitor II, is a Chk2 (checkpoint kinase 2) inhibitor. BML-277 protects T cells from apoptosis by controlling the response of p53 to radiation-induced DNA breaks. ML-277 has IC50 = 15 nM; Ki = 37 nM. ML-277 shows 1000-fold greater selectivity for the Chk2 serine/threonine kinase than for the Cdk1/B and CK1 kinases (for which IC50 = 12 μM and 17 μM, respectively).

Biological target:
Chk2 Inhibitor II (BML-277) is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Chk2 with IC50 of 15 nM.
In vitro activity:
BML-277 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Chk2 that dose dependently protects human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from apoptosis due to ionizing radiation. BML-277 efficiently rescues both T-cell populations from radiation-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with an observed EC50 of 3−7.6 μM. The concentration of BML-277 required for radioprotection is consistent with the biochemical measurement of chk2 inhibition. Providing the Km of ATP for Chk2 is determined to be 99 μM and the Ki for BML-277 is 37 nM, and assuming that the intracellular ATP concentration is 10 mM, a 5 μM concentration of BML-277 would be expected to produce 42% inhibition of intracellular chk2.

In vivo activity:
CHK2 inhibition was examined to determine if it cooperated with ERK inhibition in the treatment of DLBCL tumours in vivo. SUDHL6 DLBCL xenografts in 28 severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice (7 mice per group) were estabilished. Once the tumour reached the size of 60–163 mm3, the mice were treated every other day intraperitoneally with either vehicle, ERK inhibitor (5 mg kg−1), CHK2 inhibitor II (BML-277) (1 mg kg−1), or both ERK inhibitor and CHK2 inhibitor II for 20 days. At these doses, no lethal toxicity, significant weight loss or any gross abnormalities were observed among treated animals (data not shown). No evidence of tissue damage was detected by microscopic examination of mouse organs (Supplementary Fig. S3). Both 5 mg kg−1 ERK inhibitor and 1 mg kg−1 CHK2 inhibitor II modestly inhibited tumour growth but combined treatment with ERK inhibitor and CHK2 inhibitor II resulted in a statistically significant suppression of tumour growth (Fig. 6a,b). Moreover, western blot analysis revealed that combined treatment with the ERK inhibitor and CHK2 inhibitors caused a striking increase in H2AX phosphorylation and PARP cleavage (Fig. 6c). This further confirmed that co-administration of the CHK2 inhibitor markedly potentiates DNA damage in DLBCL cells exposed to ERK inhibitor and this event precedes induction of extensive apoptosis. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumour sections showed that co-administration of the ERK and CHK2 inhibitors markedly reduced expression of the cell proliferation marker Ki67 whereas each inhibitor alone had slight impact (Fig. 6d). In addition, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay showed that the combined treatment with ERK inhibitor and CHK2 inhibitor II resulted in greater induction of apoptosis compared with either inhibitor alone (Fig. 6d).
