시험관 내(In vitro)
PLX-4720은 야생형 B-Raf에 대해 10배 이상의 선택성을 보이며, Frk, Src, Fak, FGFR, Aurora A와 같은 다른 키나아제에 대해서는 100배 이상의 선택성을 보이며 IC50은 1.3-3.4 μM입니다. 이 화합물은 B-RafV600E를 발현하는 세포주에서 ERK 인산화를 IC50 14-46 nM로 유의하게 억제하지만, 야생형 B-Raf를 가진 세포에서는 그렇지 않습니다. COLO205, A375, WM2664, COLO829와 같은 B-RafV600E 종양유전자를 발현하는 종양 세포주의 성장을 각각 GI50 0.31 μM, 0.50 μM, 1.5 μM, 1.7 μM으로 유의하게 억제합니다. 또한, 1 μM의 이 화학적 처리는 B-RafV600E 양성 1205Lu 세포에서만 세포 주기 정지 및 세포 사멸을 유도하며, B-Raf 야생형 C8161 세포에서는 유도하지 않습니다. 이 화합물 처리(10 μM)는 PTEN- 세포주(4배)와 비교하여 PTEN+ 세포에서 BIM 발현을 14배 이상 유의하게 유도하여, PTEN- 세포가 이 화학적 유도 세포 사멸에 저항하는 이유를 설명합니다.
키나아제 분석
시험관 내 Raf 키나아제 활성
야생형 Raf 및 돌연변이의 시험관 내 키나아제 활성은 Perkin-Elmer의 AlphaScreen 기술을 사용하여 바이오틴화된 MEK 단백질의 인산화를 측정하여 결정됩니다. 각 효소(0.1 ng)에 대해 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, 100 nM 바이오틴-MEK 단백질, 다양한 ATP 농도 및 증가하는 PLX-4720 농도에서 실온에서 20 μL 반응이 수행됩니다. 반응은 2, 5, 8, 10, 20 및 30분 후에 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 200 mM NaCl, 80 mM EDTA 및 0.3% BSA를 포함하는 5 μL 용액으로 중단됩니다. 중단 용액에는 또한 phospho-MEK 항체, 스트렙타비딘 코팅된 도너 비드 및 AlphaScreen Protein A Detection Kit의 프로테인 A 억셉터 비드가 포함됩니다. 항체와 비드는 실온에서 어둠 속에서 30분 동안 중단 용액에서 사전 배양됩니다. 항체의 최종 희석은 1/2,000이며, 각 비드의 최종 농도는 10 μg/mL입니다. 분석 플레이트는 실온에서 1시간 동안 배양된 후 PerkinElmer AlphaQuest 리더에서 판독됩니다.
생체 내(In vivo)
PLX-4720을 20 mg/kg/day 경구 투여하면 B-RafV600E 의존성 COLO205 종양 이종이식편에서 유의미한 종양 성장 지연 및 퇴행을 유도하며, 1 g/kg 용량에서도 쥐에게 명백한 부작용은 없습니다. 이 화합물을 100 mg/kg씩 하루 두 번 투여하면 B-RafV600E를 발현하는 1205Lu 이종이식편을 거의 완전히 제거하는 반면, 야생형 B-Raf를 발현하는 C8161 이종이식편에 대해서는 활성이 없습니다. 이 화합물의 항종양 효과는 V600E 돌연변이를 가진 세포에서 MAPK 경로의 차단과 관련이 있습니다. 30 mg/kg/day의 이 화학적 처리는 8505c 이종이식편의 종양 성장을 90% 이상 유의하게 억제하고 원격 폐 전이를 극적으로 감소시킵니다.

자주 묻는 질문

질문 1:
What would you recommend to make working solution for intraperitoneal injection into mice?

답변:
Due to its very limited solubility in aqueous solution, this compound can be administered as a not fully dissolved suspension via oral gavage. For this reason, we recommend oral gavage for its administration.
