Biological Activity
| Targets | ROS1/NTRK |
| ln Vitro | The half-life of taletrectinib (1-1000 nM; 72 hours) against Ba/F3-TPM3-NTRK1, Ba/F3-ETV6-NTRK1, -NTRK2, -NTRK3, or KM12 cells is approximately 3–20 nM [1]. In U-118-MG cells, taletrectinib (0.001-1000 nM; 2 hours) dose-dependently inhibits ROS1 autophosphorylation [1]. ROS1 autophosphorylation in JFCR-165, JFCR-168, and MGH193-1B cells is efficiently inhibited by taletrectinib [1]. Phosphorylated NTRK1 is somewhat inhibited by taletrectinib at 10 nM and totally inhibited at 100 nM. Recombinant ROS1, NTRK1, and NTRK3 are potently inhibited by taletrectinib at subnanomolar concentrations in an ATP-competitive manner. When 1 mM ATP is present, 0.2 μM taletrectinib almost totally inhibits 160 kinases, including ACK, ALK, DDR1, and LTK, but not the other 152 kinases [1]. CRISPOTINIB-resistant ROS1 secondary mutations, such as the G2032R solvent front mutation, are effectively inhibited by taletrectinib [1]. |
| ln Vivo | Taletrectinib adipate (DS-6051b) (25 -200 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 18 days) shows anti-tumor activity[1]. Taletrectinib (6.25 -200 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 8 days) inhibits NTRK-rearranged cancer in Balb-c nu/nu mice harboring KM12 cells[1]. Taletrectinib (3-100 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 4 days) shows rapid tumor regression in wild-type (WT) and G2032R mutant Ba/F3 mice without severe weight loss[1]. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Kinase selectivity profiling[1] An off-chip mobility shift assay was performed. The effect of DS-6051b at a concentration of 200 nM on 160 kinases was evaluated in the presence of 1 mM ATP and expressed as % inhibition. Inhibitory activities of DS-6051b on ACK, ALK, DDR1, DDR2, KIT, LTK, ROS1, NTRK1, NTRK2, NTRK3, and TXK were determined by the mobility shift assay. ATP concentration in the assay was set at the approximate Km value of each kinase for ATP or 1 mM. The IC50 values were estimated according to the four-parameter logistic model. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Types: TPM3-NTRK1-induced Ba/F3 cells, KM12 cells Tested Concentrations: 1-1000 nM Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Inhibited TPM3-NTRK1-induced Ba/F3 cells and KM12 cells viability. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: U-118 MG cells (harboring FIG-ROS1 fusion gene) Tested Concentrations: 0.001-1000 nM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dose dependently inhibited autophosphorylation of ROS1 in U-118-MG cells. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Balb-c nu/nu (nude) mice (bearing U-118 MG cells)[1] Doses: 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg Route of Administration: Po; one time/day for 18 days Experimental Results: Effectively inhibited tumor growth at ≥25 mg/kg without significant body weight loss. |

| Additional Infomation |
Taletrectinib Adipate is the adiptate form of taletrectinib, a n orally available inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases C-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) and the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) types 1, 2 and 3, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, taletrectinib binds to and inhibits ROS1 and the NTRK family members. This inhibition leads to a disruption of ROS1- and NTRK-mediated signaling and eventually inhibits the growth of tumor cells that are overexpressing ROS1 and/or NTRKs. ROS1, overexpressed in certain cancer cells, plays a key role in cell growth and survival of cancer cells. NTRK mutations or rearrangements play a key role in cancer progression.
