Product Description

BLU-554 is a novel potent, highly-selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of FGFR4 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 4) with an IC50 value of 5 nM in cell free assays. BLU-554 has the potential to be used for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. BLU-554 shows promise as a treatment for cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. These tumor models demonstrate good tolerance to BLU-554. In models of liver cancer, BLU-554 administration results in tumor regression. When taken orally, BLU-554 selectively attaches to FGFR4 and prevents the ligand FGF19 from binding to it. This stops FGFR4 from activating, suppresses FGFR4-mediated signaling, and stops tumor cell growth in FGFR4-overexpressing cells. The receptor tyrosine kinase FGFR4 is implicated in the survival, angiogenesis, proliferation, and differentiation of tumor cells. Some types of tumor cells overexpress FGF19. See if there are any ongoing clinical trials with this medication. (Thesaurus NCI).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
FGFR4 (IC50 = 5 nM)
FGFR4 (IC50 = 0.4 nM); FGFR1 (IC50 = 1050 nM); FGFR2 (IC50 = 1200 nM); FGFR3 (IC50 = 980 nM) [1]
FGFR4 (Ki = 0.3 nM) [2]
ln Vitro
BLU-554 confers potency and selectivity by taking advantage of a special interaction with FGFR4.
BLU-554 potently inhibited recombinant human FGFR4 kinase activity with an IC50 of 0.4 nM and Ki of 0.3 nM, showing >2500-fold selectivity over FGFR1-3 [1][2]
It suppressed proliferation of FGFR4-dependent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines: Hep3B (IC50 = 3.2 nM), HuH-7 (IC50 = 5.1 nM), and JHH-7 (IC50 = 4.7 nM) [2]
Western blot analysis revealed that BLU-554 (10 nM) blocked FGF19-induced FGFR4 phosphorylation (Tyr642) and downstream ERK1/2, AKT phosphorylation in Hep3B cells [2]
The compound induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in Hep3B cells, with 4.3-fold increase in Annexin V-positive cells at 50 nM [2]
It inhibited colony formation of HuH-7 cells by 81% at 20 nM and reduced FGF19-mediated cell migration by 68% at 15 nM [1]
No significant inhibition of other kinases (e.g., VEGFR2, PDGFRβ) was observed at concentrations up to 1000 nM [1]
ln Vivo
BLU-554 is well tolerated in these tumor models. In models of liver cancer, BLU-554 administration results in tumor regression[1].
Oral administration of BLU-554 at 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg once daily inhibited tumor growth in Hep3B (FGFR4-amplified) xenograft mice by 58%, 83%, and 91% respectively after 28 days of treatment [1]
In a FGFR4-amplified HCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model, 30 mg/kg daily oral dosing reduced tumor volume by 65% compared to vehicle controls, accompanied by decreased phospho-FGFR4 and phospho-ERK levels in tumor tissues [2]
Pharmacodynamic analysis in treated mice showed a 74% reduction in tumor FGFR4 signaling activity, confirming target engagement [2]
In a murine orthotopic HCC model, BLU-554 (40 mg/kg, p.o., daily) prolonged median survival by 52% and reduced intrahepatic tumor burden [2]
Enzyme Assay
BLU-554 is a novel potent, highly-selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of FGFR4 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 4) with an IC50 value of 5 nM in cell free assays.
Recombinant human FGFR4, FGFR1, FGFR2, and FGFR3 kinases were used to evaluate inhibitory activity. The assay was conducted in a buffer containing ATP, MgCl2, and a biotinylated peptide substrate specific for FGFR kinases. Serial dilutions of BLU-554 were incubated with enzyme, substrate, and ATP at 37°C for 60 minutes. The reaction was terminated with a stop buffer, and phosphorylated substrate was captured using streptavidin-coated plates. Detection was performed with a phosphospecific antibody, and absorbance was measured to calculate IC50 values [1]
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assay: FGFR4 kinase domain was immobilized on a sensor chip, and serial dilutions of BLU-554 were injected. Binding kinetics (ka, kd, KD) were derived from sensorgrams, with a KD of 0.2 nM for FGFR4 [2]
Cell Assay
For four hours, either DMSO or BLU-554 at a concentration of one microgram per cell were applied to ST8814 resistant cells.
HCC cell proliferation assay: Hep3B, HuH-7, and JHH-7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 2×103 cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight. Serial dilutions of BLU-554 were added, and cells were incubated for 72 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cell viability was measured using a colorimetric assay to determine antiproliferative IC50 [2]
FGFR4 signaling inhibition assay: Hep3B cells were starved for 12 hours, pretreated with BLU-554 (0.1–100 nM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with FGF19 (50 ng/mL) for 15 minutes. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot using anti-phospho-FGFR4, anti-phospho-ERK1/2, anti-phospho-AKT, and total protein antibodies [2]
Apoptosis assay: Hep3B cells were treated with BLU-554 (0–100 nM) for 48 hours, stained with Annexin V-FITC/PI, and analyzed by flow cytometry [2]
Colony formation assay: HuH-7 cells were seeded in 6-well plates at 500 cells/well, treated with BLU-554 (0–50 nM), and incubated for 14 days. Colonies were stained with crystal violet and counted [1]
Animal Protocol
Male FVB/NRj mice
10 mg/kg
p.o.
Hep3B xenograft model: Female nude mice were subcutaneously implanted with 5×106 Hep3B cells. When tumors reached 150–200 mm3, mice were randomized into vehicle and treatment groups. BLU-554 was formulated in 0.5% hydroxypropyl cellulose + 0.1% Tween 80 and administered orally at 10, 30, 60 mg/kg once daily for 28 days. Tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly [1]
HCC PDX model: Female NOD/SCID mice were implanted with patient-derived HCC tumor fragments. When tumors reached 250 mm3, BLU-554 (30 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily for 21 days. Tumor samples were collected at study end for phospho-FGFR4 and phospho-ERK immunohistochemical analysis [2]
Orthotopic HCC model: Male BALB/c nude mice were injected intrahepatically with 1×106 FGFR4-amplified HCC cells. BLU-554 (40 mg/kg) was given orally once daily starting 7 days post-cell injection. Survival was monitored for 60 days, and intrahepatic tumor burden was assessed by bioluminescence imaging [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In mice, the bioavailability of a single oral dose of 20 mg/kg BLU-554 was 62%[3]. After intravenous administration of a 10 mg/kg dose, the plasma half-life (t1/2) of the compound in mice was 4.8 hours[3]. In rats, the oral bioavailability was 57% (20 mg/kg dose), and the plasma t1/2 was 5.5 hours[3]. BLU-554 was 95% bound to the protein in human plasma, 93% in mouse plasma, and 91% in rat plasma[3]. In human liver microsomes, BLU-554 exhibited high metabolic stability with a half-life of 310 minutes[3]. The compound showed good tumor penetration, with a tumor-to-plasma concentration ratio of 4.9 four hours after oral administration in Hep3B xenograft mice[2].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In a 28-day repeated-dose toxicity study in rats, oral doses of up to 100 mg/kg/day of BLU-554 did not cause significant weight loss, hematological abnormalities, or changes in liver and kidney function parameters [2]. Clinical adverse events associated with BLU-554 were mild to moderate, including diarrhea (18%), fatigue (12%), and nausea (9%) [2]. No significant cardiotoxicity was observed in hERG channel assays (IC50 > 10 μM) [1].

Additional Infomation
Fisogatinib is being investigated in the clinical trial NCT04194801 (a phase Ib/ii study of filogatinib (blu-554) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma). Fisogatinib is an orally bioavailable human fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. After oral administration, filogatinib specifically binds to and blocks the binding of its ligand FGF19 to FGFR4. This prevents FGFR4 activation, inhibits FGFR4-mediated signaling, and leads to the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation in FGFR4-overexpressing cells. FGFR4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and survival. FGF19 is overexpressed in certain tumor cell types.
BLU-554 is a novel, highly effective and selective FGFR4 inhibitor developed specifically for the treatment of FGFR4-driven hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)[1][2]
Its mechanism of action is to bind to the ATP-binding pocket of FGFR4, inhibiting its catalytic activity and downstream MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, thereby blocking the proliferation and survival of tumor cells[2]
This compound targets HCC with FGFR4 amplification, FGFR4 mutation, or FGF19 overexpression, which are key drivers of HCC progression[1][2]
It has entered Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of advanced or metastatic HCC with FGFR4 abnormalities[1]
