AST 487

Research use only, not for human use.

AST 487 is a RET kinase inhibitor, inhibiting RET autophosphorylation and activation of downstream effectors. It also can inhibit Flt-3.

AST487, also known as NVP- AST487, is a RET kinase inhibitor/FLT3 inhibitor. The RET kinase has emerged as a promising target for the therapy of medullary thyroid cancers (MTC) and of a subset of papillary thyroid cancers. NVP- AST487 has an IC(50) of 0.88 mumol/L on RET kinase, inhibits RET autophosphorylation and activation of downstream effectors, and potently inhibited the growth of human thyroid cancer cell lines with activating mutations of RET but not of lines without RET mutations. NVP- AST487 induced a dose-dependent growth inhibition of xenografts of NIH3T3 cells expressing oncogenic RET, and of the MTC cell line TT in nude mice. NVP- AST487 inhibited calcitonin gene expression in vitro in TT cells, in part, through decreased gene transcription.

A number of other kinases are also similarly inhibited by AST 487 (NVP-AST487) in the in vitro kinase assays, including KDR (IC50=170 nM), Flt-4 (IC50=790 nM), Flt-3 (IC50=520 nM), c-Kit (IC50=500 nM), and c-Abl (IC50=20 nM). AST 487 potently inhibits the growth of human thyroid cancer cell lines with activating mutations of RET but not of lines without RET mutations. Both GDNF/GFRα1 and persephin-induced calcitonin mRNA are markedly inhibited by coincubation with 100 nM of AST 487 in MTC-M cells. AST 487 is a novel, mutant FLT3 inhibitor. AST 487 is tested in biochemical assays for inhibition of Flt-3 kinase activity. The Ki is determined to be 0.12 μM. Besides Flt-3, NVP-AST487 inhibits RET, KDR, c-Kit, and c-Abl kinase with IC50 values below 1 μM. Treatment of FLT3-ITD-Ba/F3 cells and D835Y-Ba/F3 cells with AST 487 potently inhibits cellular proliferation (IC50<5 nM). AST 487 treatment of FLT3-ITD-Ba/F3 cells with 0.01 μM AST 487 results in complete cell killing compare with approximately 50% killing of AML patient samples at the same concentration.

After a single oral administration of 15 mg/kg of AST 487 to OF1 mice, a mean peak plasma level (Cmax) of 0.505±0.078 μM SE is achieved after 0.5 h. Similar levels of AST 487 are found in the plasma of mice up to 6 h after oral administration, with a Clast of 21±4 nM at 24 h. The oral bioavailability is calculated to be 9.7% with a t1/2 terminal elimination of 1.5 h.
