Crenolanib (CP-868569) is significantly more potent than imatinib in inhibiting the kinase activity of imatinib-resistant PDGFRα kinases (D842I, D842V, D842Y, D1842-843IM, and deletion I843). Crenolanib (CP-868569) is 135-fold more otent than imatinib against D842V in the isogenic model system, with an IC50 of approximately 10 nM. Crenolanib (CP-868569) inhibits the kinase activity of the fusion oncogene in EOL-1 cell line, which is derived from a patient with chronic eosinophilic leukemia and expresses the constitutively activated FIP1L1- PDGFRα fusion kinase, with IC50 = 21 nM. Crenolanib (CP-868569) also inhibits the proliferation of EOL-1 cells with IC50 = 0.2 pM. Crenolanib (CP-868569) inhibits the activation of V561D or D842V –mutant kinases expressed in BaF3 cells with IC50 with 85 nM or 272 nM, respectively. Crenolanib (CP-868569) inhibits PDGFRα activation in H1703 non-small cell lung cancer cell line which has 24-fold amplification of the 4q12 region that contains the PDGFRα locus, with IC50 with 26 nM.
[1] CP-868,596 is an orally bioavailable, highly potent and selective PDGFR TKI. CP-868,596 is a benzimidazole compound that has IC50s of 0.9 nM and 1.8 nM for PDGFRA and PDGFRB, respectively.
