Bioactivity | AZD7545 is a potent, competitive, selective PDHK2 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2) inhibitor with IC50s of 36.8 nM, 6.4 nM for PDHK1 and PDHK2, respectively[1]. | ||||||||||||
Target | IC50: 6.4 nM (PDHK2), 36.8 nM (PDHK1) | ||||||||||||
Invitro | AZD7545 (10 μM; 90 hours for BRAFV600E human melanoma cells and 120 hours for NRAS mut human melanoma cells) specifically suppresses growth of cells harboring BRAF and NRAS mutations as well as in inhibitor-resistant human melanoma[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | A single dose of AZD7545 (Oral administration; 10 mg/kg once a day (08:00 h) or Twice a day (08:00 and 18:00 h); for 7 days) to Wistar rats increases the proportion of liver PDH in its active, dephosphorylated form in a dose-related manner. A single dose of 10 mg/kg also significantly elevates muscle PDH activity in obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
