Product Description

Asciminib (formerly known as ABL-001; ABL001; trade name Scemblix) is a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of BCR-ABL1 approved in Oct 2021 to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) with disease that meets certain criteria. It selectively inhibits BCR-ABL1 by binding to its myristoyl pocket, with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.5-0.8 nM. With an IC50 of 0.25 nM, asciminib also prevents the proliferation of Ba/F3 cells. Patients with CML and acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) are participating in clinical trials for it. Asciminib attaches to ABL1's myristoyl pocket and causes the kinase conformation to become inactive, in contrast to catalytic-site ABL1 kinase inhibitors. Genetic barcoding studies have revealed pre-existing clonal populations with no shared resistance between asciminib and the catalytic inhibitor nilotinib. Asciminib and 2nd-generation catalytic inhibitors have similar cellular potencies but distinct patterns of resistance mutations. Thus, when combined with nilotinib in an in vivo model of chronic myeloid leukemia in mice, asciminib inhibits the development of resistant disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Abl1 (IC50 = 2.8 nM); TrkA (IC50 = 6 nM); Abl1 (IC50 = 2.8 nM); TrkB (IC50 = 9 nM); Tie-2 (IC50 = 22 nM); Aurora B (IC50 = 98 nM)
ln Vitro
ABL001 is a potent, selective BCR-ABL inhibitor with a unique, allosteric mode of action that remains active against the majority of mutations, including T315I[1]. By binding to a regulatory site that wild-type ABL normally possesses a myristoyl group occupying, ABL001 inhibits ABL kinase activity in a different way than catalytic site inhibitors[2]. The myristoylated N-terminus of ABL1 typically resides in a pocket on the BCR-ABL kinase domain, which is where it binds. This myristoylated N-terminus is responsible for autoregulating ABL1 activity; it is lost upon fusion with BCR. By taking up its empty binding site, ABL001 functionally imitates the myristoylated N-terminus'sfunctionand reinstates the kinase activity's negative regulation. BCR-ABL-negative cell lines were unaffected at concentrations 1000 times higher than ABL001, which specifically inhibits the growth of Ph+ ALL and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells at potencies ranging from 1 to 10 nM[1]. ABL001 selectively and potently binds to the myristoyl pocket of ABL1 and induces the inactive C-terminal helix conformation, as confirmed by NMR and biophysical studies (dissociation constant (Kd) = 0.5-0.8 nM). ABL001 is inactive against G-protein-coupled receptors, ion channels, nuclear receptors, and transporters, among more than 60 kinases, including SRC. ABL001 is therefore highly selective[3].
ln Vivo
ABL001 exhibits strong anti-tumor activity in the KCL-22 mouse xenograft model, as evidenced by total tumor regression and a pronounced dose-dependent relationship with pSTAT5 inhibition[1]. All species have a moderate half-life, volume of distribution, and oral absorption of ABL001. For patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia who have received a lot of pretreatment, it has been well tolerated as a single agent and has been shown to induce clinical anti-tumor activity. Regarding the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of ABL001, the CL (clearance) in mice, rats, and dogs following a single intravenous dose of 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 1 mg/kg, respectively, are 12, 16, and 6 mL/min/kg. The T1/2term for a single intravenous dose of 1 mg/kg in mice and dogs are 1.1 and 3.7 hours, respectively. Rats have a T1/2term of 2.7 hours following a single intravenous dose of 2 mg/kg. Oral bioavailability of ABL001 at 30 mg/kg p.o. in rats and mice is 35% and 27%, respectively. On the other hand, ABL001's oral BA in dogs is 111% (15 mg/kg, p.o)[3].
Enzyme Assay
Asciminib, having a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.5-0.8 nM and selectivity to the myristoyl pocket of ABL1, is a strong and selective allosteric inhibitor of BCR-ABL1.
Cell Assay
For 48 hours, Ba/F3 cells are exposed to asciminib at a range of concentrations (0–10,000 nM). The Britelite luciferase detection assay is used to quantify the proliferation of cells.
Animal Protocol
Mice: Asciminib efficacy is measured using FACS monitoring of the percentage of CD45+ cells per live cell in blood samples obtained at different times following dosing with either 7.5 mg/kg BID (group 2) or 30 mg/kg BID (group 3) asciminib for three weeks in three patient-derived ALL systemic xenograft models (ALL-7015, AL-7119, and AL-7155).
