Product Description
KG5 is an orally bioactive dual allosteric inhibitor of PDGFRβ and B-Raf. KG5 also inhibits Flt3, KIT and c-Raf and has anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic activities.
KG-5 is an orally bioavailable, dual allosteric inhibitor targeting platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) and B-Raf kinase. It is a synthetic small molecule that also inhibits other kinases, including c-Raf, FLT3, and KIT. KG-5 has been shown to arrest cells in prometaphase, inhibit the growth of renal and pancreatic tumors in mice, and disrupt angiogenesis, making it a promising candidate for cancer therapy. Its mechanism of action involves stabilizing the inactive "DFG-out" conformation of these kinases, a characteristic of type II inhibitors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
KG-5 targets PDGFRβ and B-Raf as its primary molecular targets. It is a dual allosteric inhibitor that binds to these kinases and stabilizes them in their inactive conformations. In addition, the compound inhibits other kinases, including FLT3, KIT, and c-Raf. By inhibiting these key signaling molecules, KG-5 disrupts multiple oncogenic pathways involved in cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. This multi-kinase inhibition profile contributes to its anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic activities.
ln Vitro
KG5 (compound 6) has an EC50 value of 0.59 μM for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and 0.54 μM for endothelial cells, respectively, which means that it reduces their viability [1]. Compound 6 does not impact S259, but it specifically prevents S338 phosphorylation[1]. With Kd of 300 and 520 nM, respectively, and Flt3 and KIT of 52 and 170 nM, respectively, KG5 (compound 6) exclusively inhibits PDGFRα and β [1]. Compound 6 (KG5; 5 μM) prevents bFGF- or VEGF-stimulated endothelial cells from phosphorylating MEK and ERK [1].
In vitro, KG-5 has been demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of PDGFRβ and B-Raf kinase activity. It arrests cancer cells in prometaphase, a stage of mitosis, leading to cell cycle arrest and subsequent cell death. The compound's ability to inhibit multiple kinases has been confirmed in biochemical and cell-based assays. It inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cell lines, including those derived from renal and pancreatic tumors. Furthermore, KG-5 has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis in vitro, as evidenced by its ability to disrupt blood vessel formation in zebrafish embryos.
ln Vivo
In an orthotopic renal cell carcinoma model, KG5 (Compound 6; 100 mg/kg; oral; daily; for 26 days) therapy inhibits tumor growth [1]. Comparing KG5 (Compound 6; 50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal; twice daily) therapy to vehicle controls (mouse injection of Matrigel containing bFGF) revealed full inhibition of angiogenesis. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0–12h) was 14.7 μg·h/mL, T1/2 was 11.5 h, and Cmax was 3.6 μg/mL according to pharmacokinetic studies of the dosage and formulation utilized for KG5[1]. In zebrafish development, KG5 (Compound 6; 1 μM) interferes with the last stages of angiogenesis [1].
In vivo, KG-5 has demonstrated significant anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic activity. In mouse models, the compound inhibits the growth of renal and pancreatic tumors. It also inhibits angiogenesis in a mouse angiogenesis model and disrupts blood vessel formation in zebrafish embryos. These in vivo effects are consistent with its mechanism of action as a multi-kinase inhibitor targeting PDGFRβ and B-Raf, among others. The compound is orally available, which is a favorable property for its potential as a therapeutic agent.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding (non-cell) assays for KG-5 involve measuring its inhibition of kinase activity. These assays typically use purified recombinant kinase enzymes, such as PDGFRβ, B-Raf, FLT3, or KIT, and a peptide substrate in the presence of ATP. The phosphorylation of the substrate is measured using a radioactive (e.g., 33P-ATP) or fluorescent method. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and substrate at various concentrations, and the IC50 value, representing the concentration required to inhibit 50% of the enzyme activity, is determined. These assays confirm the compound's potency and selectivity profile against its target kinases.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for KG-5 are performed using cancer cell lines that are dependent on PDGFRβ and B-Raf signaling. Cells are treated with the compound, and cell viability and proliferation are assessed using standard assays such as MTT or CCK-8. Cell cycle analysis is performed using flow cytometry to evaluate the compound's ability to arrest cells in prometaphase. The effects on downstream signaling pathways are analyzed by Western blotting to detect changes in the phosphorylation of key proteins. Anti-angiogenic activity is evaluated using endothelial cell tube formation assays.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Nu/nu (nude) mice were injected with SN12C-RFP cells [1]
Doses: 100 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral; daily; continued for 26 days
Experimental Results: Prevented tumor growth in the orthotopic renal cell carcinoma model.
In vivo animal experiments for KG-5 are conducted using mouse xenograft models of cancer. Immunodeficient mice are subcutaneously implanted with human tumor cells (e.g., renal or pancreatic cancer cells). When tumors reach a certain size, the mice are treated orally with KG-5, and tumor volume is measured regularly. At the end of the study, tumors are excised and analyzed for markers of proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. The compound's anti-angiogenic activity is also assessed using a mouse angiogenesis model, where the inhibition of new blood vessel formation is evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of KG-5 indicate that it is orally available. The compound has a molecular weight of 459.45 and a molecular formula of C20H16F3N7OS. It is a small molecule with physicochemical properties that support oral absorption. The compound is typically formulated for oral administration in preclinical studies. Its pharmacokinetic profile, including parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and clearance, is determined in animal studies via LC-MS/MS analysis of plasma samples.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology (toxicology) data for KG-5 are characteristic of a multi-kinase inhibitor. As with other kinase inhibitors, its safety profile is an important consideration for its development. The compound's effects on normal tissues that rely on PDGFRβ and B-Raf signaling are evaluated in toxicology studies. Common toxicities associated with kinase inhibitors may include effects on the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and skin. The compound is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses in preclinical models, but its long-term safety profile requires further evaluation.
