Product Description

Roblitinib (FGF-401) is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) with an IC50 of 1.9 nM and with potential antineoplastic/anticancer activity. In tumor cells that overexpress FGFR4, FGF401 binds to the receptor and suppresses its activity, thereby preventing the growth of tumor cells. Tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and survival are all impacted by the receptor tyrosine kinase FGFR4, which is upregulated in some tumor cells. Currently undergoing phase I/II clinical studies, FGF401 is being developed for hepatocellular carcinoma. Oral FGF401 administration resulted in increased peripheral marker 7alpha-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one, induction of Cyp7a1, dog diarrhea, decreased serum cholesterol, and larger BA pools in preclinical studies involving mice and dogs. In the absence of any discernible negative histopathological findings in the liver or any other organ, FGF401 was also linked to increases in serum aminotransferases, particularly alanine aminotransferase (ALT).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
FGFR4 (IC50 = 1.9 nM); FGFR1 (IC50 >10 μM); FGFR2 (IC50 >10 μM); FGFR3 (IC50 >10 μM); rat FGFR4 (IC50 >10 μM)
ln Vitro

Roblitinib (FGF401) inhibits FGFR4 with an IC50 of 1.9 nM by binding to the FGFR4 kinase domain in a reversible covalent manner. NVP-FGF401 only targets FGFR4 in a kinome-wide scan of 456 kinases, demonstrating at least 1,000-fold selectivity against a panel of 65 kinases in biochemical assays[1].
FGF401 impedes the proliferation of HCC and gastric cancer cell lines that express FGFR4, FGFR5, and βklotho [2].

ln Vivo
NVP-FGF401 consistently demonstrated a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship with phospho-FGFR4 over total FGFR4 (p/tFGFR4) levels in tumors that were robustly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner in xenograft animal models in vivo[1].
In mice containing HCC tumor xenografts and PDX models that are positive for FGF19, FGFR4, and KLB, it demonstrates excellent oral PK characteristics and noteworthy anti-tumor activity[3].
Enzyme Assay
The regulation of bile acid (BA) homeostasis is significantly influenced by the FGF19-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR4)-βKlotho (KLB) pathway. A subgroup of liver cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, have been shown to develop and progress due to aberrant activation of this pathway; as a result, FGFR4 has become a popular therapeutic target for these solid tumors.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
