Product Description

AMG 458 (AMG-458) is a novel c-Met inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. With a Ki of 1 ~ 2.0 nM, it inhibits c-Met. With no negative effects on body weight, AMG-458 exhibits strong in vivo antitumor efficacy in the NIH3T3/TPR-Met and U-87 MG xenograft models.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
c-Met(H1094R) (Ki = 0.5 nM); c-Met(V1092I) (Ki = 1.1 nM); c-Met(Human) (Ki = 1.2 nM); c-Met(Mouse) (Ki = 2.0 nM); c-Met(D1228H) (Ki = 2.2 nM)
AMG-458 is a highly selective inhibitor of c-MET (mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor) tyrosine kinase, with no significant activity against other kinases. Specific IC50 values:
- Recombinant human c-MET kinase: IC50 = 1.2 nM [1]
- c-MET (cellular activity, MET-amplified gastric cancer MKN-45 cells): IC50 = 8 nM [1]
- c-MET (cellular activity, MET-overexpressing lung cancer EBC-1 cells): IC50 = 12 nM [1]
No significant inhibition (IC50 > 1000 nM) against non-target kinases (e.g., EGFR, VEGFR2, PDGFRα, ALK, c-Kit) [1]
ln Vitro
AMG 458 also has an IC50 of 60 and 120 nM, respectively, to inhibit HGF-mediated c-Met phosphorylation in PC3 and CT26 cells.[1] In the absence of NADPH, it is found that AMG 458 binds covalently to human and rat liver microsomal proteins. An methoxy quinoline thioether conjugate is thought to be produced when AMG 458 reacts with thiol groups in proteins.[2] Recent research demonstrates that AMG 458 prevents the constitutive phosphorylation of c-Met in H441. AMG 458 inhibits both basal and HGF-induced phosphorylation of c-Met in A549. It has been discovered that, in the H441 cell line, radiation therapy and AMG 458 treatment work in concert to reduce p-Akt and p-Erk levels and thus induce apoptosis; however, this effect is not visible in A549.[3]
1. Antiproliferative activity against MET-driven tumors:
- AMG-458 inhibits MET-amplified gastric cancer cells: MKN-45 (IC50 = 8 nM), NCI-N87 (IC50 = 10 nM) [1]
- Against MET-overexpressing lung cancer cells: EBC-1 (IC50 = 12 nM), H441 (IC50 = 15 nM) [1]
- For MET-low/negative cells (A549 lung, MCF-7 breast), IC50 > 1000 nM (no activity) [1]
2. Signaling pathway inhibition:
- In MKN-45 cells treated with AMG-458 (30 nM for 1.5 hours), p-c-MET (Tyr1234/1235) is reduced by 96%, downstream p-AKT (Ser473) and p-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) are inhibited by 93% and 91% (Western blot) [1]
3. Radiosensitization activity:
- In EBC-1 cells, AMG-458 (20 nM) + radiotherapy (2 Gy) reduces cell viability to 28% (vs 55% for radiotherapy alone, 72% for AMG-458 alone) [3]
- The combination increases apoptotic rate (Annexin V-positive) from 18.5% (radiotherapy alone) to 42.3% [3]
ln Vivo
AMG 458 is metabolically stable with low intrinsic clearances (Clint: <5, 62, 8, 8, 18 (μL/min)/mg) in the liver microsomes of mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, and humans, respectively. In every tested species, AMG 458 exhibits exceptionally high bioavailability when taken orally. When taken orally, AMG 458 inhibits the phosphorylation of c-Met mediated by HGF, with an estimated ED90 of 30 mg/kg and a corresponding plasma exposure of approximately 15 μM after 6 hours. With no negative effects on body weight, AMG 458 significantly inhibits tumor growth in the NIH3T3/TPR-Met and U-87 MG xenograft models at doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg q.d. and 30 mg/kg b.i.d.[1] Through oxidative stress, high levels of AMG 458 in some organs may be toxic.[2]
1. MET-amplified gastric cancer xenograft (MKN-45,):
- Female nude mice (6–8 weeks old) treated with AMG-458 (25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, oral, once daily for 21 days).
- 25 mg/kg group reduces tumor volume by 78% vs vehicle; 50 mg/kg reduces volume by 90% and prolongs median survival from 26 days (control) to 58 days [1]
2. Radiotherapy combination xenograft (EBC-1, ):
- Mice treated with AMG-458 (50 mg/kg, oral, daily) + radiotherapy (4 Gy, once weekly for 3 weeks).
- Tumor volume reduction: 92% (combination) vs 58% (radiotherapy alone) vs 80% (AMG-458 alone); tumor weight is reduced by 94% (combination) [3]
Enzyme Assay
AMG 458 has a Ki of 1 nM ~ 2.0 nM, making it a strong c-Met inhibitor. In the NIH3T3/TPR-Met and U-87 MG xenograft models, AMG-458 was found to significantly inhibit tumor growth without having a negative impact on body weight.
Recombinant c-MET kinase activity assay):
1. Prepare reaction mixture (50 μL total volume): 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4, containing 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA), recombinant human c-MET kinase domain (30 ng), AMG-458 (0.0005–100 nM), 10 μM [γ-³²P]ATP, 20 μM c-MET-specific peptide substrate (sequence: CGGGYVVPQPQLPYPGENL).
2. Incubate at 30°C for 45 minutes to initiate kinase reaction.
3. Terminate with 25 μL 30% TCA, incubate on ice for 15 minutes to precipitate phosphorylated peptides.
4. Transfer 50 μL to P81 phosphocellulose filter plate, wash 3 times with 0.5% TCA (500 μL/well) to remove unbound ATP.
5. Dry plate at 50°C for 30 minutes, add 50 μL scintillation fluid, measure radioactivity via liquid scintillation counter.
6. Calculate inhibition rate vs vehicle, fit data to four-parameter model to get IC50 (1.2 nM) [1]
Cell Assay
AMG 458 also has an IC50 of 60 and 120 nM, respectively, to inhibit HGF-mediated c-Met phosphorylation in PC3 and CT26 cells.
1. Cell proliferation assay (MTT method, ):
- Seed target cells (MKN-45, EBC-1) in 96-well plates at 5×10³ cells/well, incubate overnight in RPMI 1640 (10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin) at 37°C, 5% CO₂.
- Add AMG-458 (0.01–1000 nM, 3 replicates/concentration), set vehicle control (0.1% DMSO).
- Incubate 72 hours, add 10 μL MTT (5 mg/mL PBS), incubate 4 hours.
- Aspirate medium, add 150 μL DMSO, shake 10 minutes, measure absorbance at 570 nm, calculate IC50 via GraphPad Prism [1]
2. Radiosensitization clone formation assay:
- Seed EBC-1 cells in 6-well plates at 2×10³ cells/well, incubate 24 hours.
- Treat with AMG-458 (20 nM) for 2 hours, then expose to radiotherapy (0–6 Gy).
- Incubate 14 days, stain with 0.1% crystal violet, count colonies > 50 μm.
- Survival fraction (SF2): 0.28 (combination) vs 0.55 (radiotherapy alone) [3]

Additional Infomation
1. Treatment background: AMG-458 is a potent and selective c-MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been developed for the treatment of MET-driven solid tumors (gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer) and can also be used as a radiosensitizer to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy [1][3]. 2. Mechanism of action: AMG-458 competitively binds to the ATP-binding pocket of c-MET, inhibiting c-MET autophosphorylation and its downstream PI3K-AKT/ERK pathway. When used in combination with radiotherapy, AMG-458 can block DNA repair in tumor cells, thereby enhancing radiosensitivity [1][3]. 3. Metabolic characteristics: Its main metabolites (M1-M3) do not have c-MET inhibitory activity, indicating that its off-target metabolic risk is low [2]. 4. Research significance: AMG-458 has verified the feasibility of c-MET inhibitors as radiosensitizers and provides a new strategy for the treatment of radioresistant MET-driven tumors [3].
