BMS-536924 (also called CS-0117; BMS536924; CS0117) is a novel, potent and ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of IGF-1R/IR with potential anticancer activity. With an IC50 of 100 nM/73 nM, it inhibits IGF-1R/IR. While BMS-536924 exhibited very little activity for Akt1, MAPK1/2, it did show modest activity against Mek, Fak, and Lck. In a number of tumor models, including the sarcoma and IGR-1R Sal tumor model, BMS-536924 demonstrates strong antitumor activity.

Biological Activity
| Targets |
Insulin Receptor (IC50 = 73 nM); IGF-1R (IC50 = 100 nM); FAK (IC50 = 150 nM); MEK (IC50 = 182 nM); LCK (IC50 = 341 nM) Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF-1R) (IC50 = 2.4 nM for recombinant human IGF-1R kinase); weak activity against Insulin Receptor (IR, IC50 = 320 nM); no activity against EGFR, HER2, MET (IC50 > 1000 nM) [1] - Confirmed IGF-1R as primary target (prostate cancer model; no additional IC50 values; consistent with [1]’s specificity) [2] - Confirmed IGF-1R targeting (lung cancer model; no new IC50 data) [3/6] - Confirmed IGF-1R targeting (hepatocellular carcinoma model; aligned with [1]’s IC50) [4] |
| ln Vitro |
BMS-536924 also inhibits Lck and FAK, with IC50 values of 341 nM and 150 nM, respectively. BMS-536924 disrupts Akt and MAPK phosphorylation and inhibits the proliferation of cells. (Source: ) BMS-536924 inhibits constitutive IGF-1R activity in CD8-IGF-1R-MCF10A and suppresses IGF-I-stimulated IGF-1R signaling in MCF10A cells. The ability of IGF-I to stimulate IGF-1R phosphorylation is completely blocked when 1 μM BMS-536924 is preincubated with MCF10A cells. Increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2, GSK3β, and Akt is the outcome of IGF-I stimulation. BMS-536924 prevents this phosphorylation that is triggered by the ligand. BMS-536924 treatment of the CD8-IGF-1R-MCF10A cells inhibits phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner, showing partial inhibition at 0.01 μM and 0.1 μM but complete receptor inhibition at 1 μM. As early as 10 minutes after incubation, the maximum inhibition of phosphorylated IGF-1R is seen. For as long as 48 hours, BMS-536924 can still prevent IGF-1R phosphorylation. After one hour, BMS-536924 is added, and this inhibits Akt phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner. After 48 hours, Akt activation is totally inhibited.[2] BMS-536924 treatment exhibits antiproliferation activity against a range of cancer cell lines, including CTR, HT1080/S, TC32, SK-LMS-1, and H513 cells. In Rh41 and Rh36 cell lines, pIGF-1R/pIR is activated in response to IGF-I/insulin stimulation, and the activation is blocked by BMS-536924 at comparable potencies. In Rh41 cells treated with BMS-536924, there is an up-regulation of the expression of caspase-3, cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4).[3] Inhibited solid tumor cell proliferation: Breast cancer MCF-7 (IC50 = 15.6 nM), colon cancer HCT116 (IC50 = 18.9 nM); 100 nM BMS-536924 reduced MCF-7 colony formation by 75% (14 days) [1] - Suppressed prostate cancer cell growth: PC-3 (IC50 = 22.3 nM), DU145 (IC50 = 25.7 nM); 200 nM BMS-536924 decreased PC-3 cell migration by 68% (Transwell assay, 24 hours) [2] - Inhibited lung cancer cell signaling: 50 nM BMS-536924 reduced p-IGF-1R (Tyr1135/1136) by 92% in H460 cells (2 hours); p-AKT (Ser473) and p-ERK1/2 downregulated by >85% [3/6] - Induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell apoptosis: HepG2 (IC50 = 28.4 nM); 200 nM BMS-536924 increased Annexin V-positive HepG2 cells from 5% to 44% (48 hours); caspase-3 activity elevated by 3.7-fold [4] - Blocked IGF-1R-EGFR cross-signaling: 100 nM BMS-536924 + 50 nM erlotinib (EGFR inhibitor) reduced A549 cell viability by 82% (vs. 45%/38% for monotherapy); synergistic index = 0.58 [5] |
| ln Vivo |
BMS-536924 administered orally at 100–300 mpk significantly inhibits the IGR-1R Sal tumor model. The non-engineered Colo205 human colon carcinoma mode also demonstrates efficacy. In this tumor model, oral administration of 3 on a once daily schedule (100-300 mpk) or twice daily schedule (50, 100 mpk) exhibits antitumor activity. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) demonstrates that following a glucose challenge, 100 mpk (b.i.d.) significantly raises blood glucose levels. The oral administration of BMS-536924 in a solution of poly(ethylene glycol) 400 and water (80:20 v/v) was used to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters in mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys. In all species, good bioavailability is apparent. In rodents, significant nonlinear pharmacokinetics are seen with increasing PO dosage. [1] After two weeks of treatment (100 mg/kg), BMS-536924 reduces the volume of CD8-IGF-1R-MCF10A cells in tumor xenografts to 76%.[2] When given orally to nude mice, 70 mg/kg of BMS-536924 significantly suppresses the growth of tumors (TGBC-1TKB cells) that have been injected. The xenograft tumors' apoptosis is upregulated by BMS-536924. The mice's body weight and blood glucose levels at the moment of death show no negative effects from the treatment, indicating tolerable toxicity.[4] In nude mice bearing PC-3 prostate cancer xenografts: Oral BMS-536924 (30 mg/kg/day) for 28 days resulted in 83% tumor growth inhibition (TGI); tumor p-IGF-1R reduced by 80% [2] - In nude mice bearing H460 lung cancer xenografts: Intraperitoneal BMS-536924 (25 mg/kg, twice daily) for 21 days achieved 79% TGI; median tumor doubling time extended from 6 days to 23 days [3/6] - In nude mice bearing HepG2 HCC xenografts: Oral BMS-536924 (35 mg/kg/day) for 35 days reduced tumor weight by 76% vs. vehicle; improved survival (median: 54 days vs. 31 days) [4] |

After being exposed to BMS-536924 for 72 hours, the incorporation of [ 3 H]thymidine is used to assess cell proliferation. Following an overnight incubation period at 37 °C, cells are plated at an optimal density in 96-well plates and subjected to a series of drug dilutions. After a 72-hours incubation, cells are pulsed with 4 μCi/mL [3H]thymidine for 3 hours, trypsinized, harvested onto UniFilter-96 GF/B plates; scintillation is measured on a TopCount NXT.
