Description:

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

Roblitinib, also known as FGF401, is an inhibitor of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, FGF401 binds to and inhibits the activity of FGFR4, which leads to an inhibition of tumor cell proliferation in FGFR4-overexpressing cells. FGFR4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase upregulated in certain tumor cells and involved in tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and survival.

More Info
Biological target:
Roblitinib (FGF-401) is a FGFR4 inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.9 nM.
In vitro activity:
FGF401 increased the percentage of cells in the G1 and sub-G1 phases with a concomitant decrease in the percentage of cells in the G2/M and S phases, suggesting that FGF401 causes G1 cell cycle arrest (Fig. 1c). The phosphorylation of FRS-2α was assessed at Tyr436 and p-Erk1/2 as a measure of FGF19/FGFR-4 signaling activity. FGF19 stimulated the phosphorylation of FRS-2α and the downstream signaling molecule Erk1/2; however, this was abolished when cells were pretreated with FGF401 for 24 h, suggesting the ability of FGF401 to inhibit the FRS-2α/Erk1/2 pathway (Fig. 1d). Reference: Exp Mol Med. 2020 Nov;52(11):1857-1868. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8080677/
In vivo activity:
Treatment of mice bearing high FGF19-expressing HCC25-0705A tumors with 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg FGF401 twice a day led to 83.5%, 86.8, and 87% reductions in tumor burden, respectively (p < 0.0001, Fig. 1e). Moreover, FGF401 significantly reduced p-Histone H3 Ser10 and increased the proportion of cleaved PARP-positive cells in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1f). Moreover, the suppression of p-FRS-2α and p-Erk1/2 and the increase in cleaved caspase 3 occurred within 3–12 h after drug administration (Supplementary Fig. 2a).
