Description

CI-1033 is a potent inhibitor of EGFR and ErbB2 with IC50 of 1.5 nM and 9.0 nM, respectively.

Targets

IC₅₀

In Vitro

CI-1033 shows excellent potency for irreversible inhibition of erbB2 autophosphorylation in MDA-MB 453 cells. CI-1033 also shows high permeability in Caco-2 cells and inhibits secretory transport of vinblastine, which indicates that CI-1033 is a likely inhibitor of the P-gp. ^[1] CI-1033 alone, significantly suppresses constitutively activated Akt and MAP kinase. In combination with gemcitabine, CI-1033 inhibits Akt and prevents increased levels of MAPK phosphorylation. CI-1033 stimulates p27 expression and p38 phosphorylation in MDA-MB-453 cells. ^[2] CI-1033 is highly specific to the erbB receptor family and not sensitive to PGFR, FGFR or IR even at 50 μM. CI-1033 shows high levels of inhibition in A431 cells expressing EGFR with IC50 of 7.4 nM. CI-1033 suppresses heregulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of erbB2, erbB3 and erbB4 with IC50 of 5, 14 and 10 nM, respectively. CI-1033 also inhibits expression of pp62^c-fos in response to heregulin. ^[3] CI-1033 is predicted to modify Cys773 covalently within the ATP binding site of the HER2 kinase and enhances destruction of both mature and immature ErbB-2 molecules. ^[4] CI-1033 induces a significant decrease in measurable phosphorylation of tyrosine residues 845 and 1068 of EGFR, which are responsible for Src and Ras/MAPK signaling respectively. The corresponding residues of Her-2, tyrosine residues 877 and 1248 are dephosphorylated significantly by CI-1033 at a concentration of 3 μM or higher. CI could block EGFR internalization and increase the rate of apoptosis in primary osteosarcoma cells in a titratable fashion. ^[5] In addition, CI-1033 inhibits the proliferation of TT, TE2, TE6 and TE10 cells significantly at 0.1 nM. ^[6]

In Vivo

CI-1033 shows impressive activity against A431 xenografts in nude mice at 5 mg/kg of body weight. ^[1] CI-1033 (20 to 80 mg/kg/d) achieves a high degree of tumor regressions in H125 xenograft models. ^[3] Oral administration of CI-1033 causes a marked inhibition of growth in TT, TE6 and TE10 xenografts in nude mice, without animal death and <10% weight="" loss.="">^[6]

Clinical Trials

Phase II trials have been completed in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Features

CI-1033 is the first kinase inhibitor showing irreversible activity to enter clinical trials and has become a template for further development.

Description

CI-1033 (6 μM) combined with SN-38 (active metabolite of Irinotecan, 12 nM) show synergistic cytotoxicity in T98G cells. CI-1033 (8 μM) combined with SN-38 (10 nM) enhance the effect of SN-38 to delay T98G cells at G2-M phase. ^[7]

Tyrosine Kinase Assays

Enzyme assays for determination of IC50 are performed in 96-well filter plates in a total volume of 0.1 mL, containing 20 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 50 mM sodium vanadate, 40 mM magnesium chloride, 10 μM adenosine triphosphate (ATP) containing 0.5 mCi of [³²P]ATP, 20 mg of polyglutamic acid/tyrosine, 10 ng of EGFR tyrosine kinase, and appropriate dilutions of CI-1033. All components except the ATP are added to the well and the plate is incubated with shaking for 10 min at 25 °C. The reaction is started by adding [³²P]ATP, and the plate is incubated at 25 °C for another 10 min. The reaction is terminated by addition of 0.1 mL of 20% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The plate is kept at 4 °C for at least 15 min to allow the substrate to precipitate. The wells are then washed five times with 0.2 mL of 10% TCA and 32P incorporation determined with a Wallac β plate counter.

Cell Lines

TT, TE2, TE6 and TE10 cells

Concentrations

0.1-5.0 nM

Incubation Time

1, 3, 5 and 7 days

Methods

Cells (1 × 10⁴) are seeded in each well of a 24-well plastic culture plate and left overnight in DMEM or RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS. The next morning, the cells are treated with the indicated concentrations of CI-1033 (0.1-5.0 nM) for varying periods (1, 3, 5 and 7 days). After treatment, the cells are counted using a Coulter counter. The percent of cell proliferation is calculated by this formula: treatment cell number/control cell number × 100 for each time period.
