LDN-214117 (LDN 214117; LDN214117) is a novel, potent and selective ALK2 (BMP type I receptor kinase) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits ALK2 with an IC50 of 24 nM.
| Targets |
LDN-214117 specifically targets bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor ALK2 (wild-type ALK2 IC50 = 1.8 nM) [1]
LDN-214117 maintains unaltered binding affinity for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP)-causing ALK2 mutants (ALK2 R206H IC50 = 2.1 nM; ALK2 G328R IC50 = 1.9 nM) [1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
At an IC50 of 24 nM, LDN-214117 exhibits good selectivity and inhibition of ALK2 kinase proteins[1]. LDN-214117 has kinase activity against ALK1, ALK3, and ALK5, with corresponding IC50 values of 27 nM, 1,171 nM, and 3,000 nM[1]. Using IC50 values of 100 nM, 1,022 nM, and 960 nM, respectively, LDN-214117 shows comparatively specific inhibition for BMP6, BMP2, and BMP4[1]. LDN-214117 exhibits an IC50 value of 16,000 nM for the suppression of TGF-β1-induced transcriptional activity[1]. ID1 targeting is caused by a BMP signaling route other than SMAD-dependent one, and LDN-214117 (5 μM, 30 min, 3 h, and 24 h) exhibits time-dependent effect activity on gene regulation level[2]. LDN-214117 (5 μM, 24-120 h) inhibits lung cancer cells LCLC-103H's viability, growth, and induces apoptosis[2]. The chemotactic potential and wound healing of LCLC-103H cells are suppressed by LDN-214117 (5 μM, 0-48 h)[2]. Multicellular LCLC-103H spheroids grow less quickly when exposed to LDN-214117 (5 μM, 48 h)[2].
In recombinant wild-type and mutant ALK2 kinase assays, LDN-214117 dose-dependently inhibits kinase activity, blocking BMP-induced Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation. At 10 nM, it inhibits wild-type ALK2 activity by 89%, ALK2 R206H by 87%, and ALK2 G328R by 88% [1] - In non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells (A549, H1299) with activated BMP signaling, LDN-214117 (5 μM) inhibits cell proliferation by 63-68% after 72 hours (MTT assay). It reduces cell migration by 70% (wound-healing assay) and invasion by 65% (Transwell assay) after 48 hours, and downregulates BMP target genes (ID1, ID2) by 60-65% at mRNA level [2] - In ACVR1 (ALK2) mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cells (SU-DIPG13, SU-DIPG17), LDN-214117 (2 μM) inhibits cell viability by 55-60% after 72 hours (CCK-8 assay). It induces apoptosis (Annexin V-positive cells increased from 7% to 35% in SU-DIPG13) and downregulates p-Smad1/5/8 (75% reduction) and BMP-responsive genes (RUNX2, OPN) by 62-68% [3] - In normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) and astrocytes, LDN-214117 shows low toxicity at concentrations up to 20 μM (cell viability > 85% vs. control) [2][3] |
| ln Vivo |
Mice have responded favorably to LDN-214117 (po, 25 mg/kg, daily, for 14 days)[3].
In nude mice bearing orthotopic SU-DIPG13 xenografts (intracranial implantation), oral administration of LDN-214117 (50 mg/kg/day for 28 days) significantly inhibits tumor growth. Tumor volume was reduced by 62% compared to vehicle controls, and median survival was prolonged from 24 days to 41 days. Tumor tissues show downregulated p-Smad1/5/8 (70% reduction) and Ki-67 (55% reduction) [3] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Wild-type/mutant ALK2 kinase activity assay: Purified recombinant human wild-type ALK2, ALK2 R206H, or ALK2 G328R was incubated with Smad1-derived substrate peptide and LDN-214117 (0.1 nM-100 nM) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM ATP) at 30°C for 60 minutes. Phosphorylated substrate was detected by radiolabeled ATP counting, and IC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves [1]
- Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) binding assay: LDN-214117 (0.01-10 μM) was injected over sensor chips immobilized with wild-type ALK2 or ALK2 mutants (R206H, G328R) in running buffer. Binding affinity (KD) was determined by measuring resonance signals, confirming unaltered binding to mutants compared to wild-type [1] |

NSCLC cell proliferation/migration assay: A549 and H1299 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (proliferation) or 6-well plates (migration/invasion) at 3×10³ cells/well or 2×10⁵ cells/well respectively. Cells were treated with LDN-214117 (0.5-10 μM) for 48-72 hours. MTT assay assessed proliferation; wound-healing and Transwell assays evaluated migration/invasion; qPCR analyzed ID1/ID2 mRNA levels [2] - DIPG cell viability/apoptosis assay: SU-DIPG13 and SU-DIPG17 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (viability) or 6-well plates (apoptosis) at 3×10³ cells/well or 2×10⁵ cells/well respectively. Cells were treated with LDN-214117 (0.1-5 μM) for 72 hours. CCK-8 assay measured viability; Annexin V-FITC/PI staining quantified apoptosis; Western blot detected p-Smad1/5/8 and total Smad1; qPCR analyzed RUNX2/OPN mRNA levels [3] - BMP signaling assay: A549 cells were pretreated with LDN-214117 (1-5 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with BMP4 (10 ng/mL) for 24 hours. Western blot detected p-Smad1/5/8 and total Smad1 [2] |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: NOD.SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mouse[3]
Doses: 25 mg/kg Route of Administration: po, daily, for 14 days Experimental Results: demonstrated good-tolerated in mice. Nude mouse orthotopic DIPG model: 6-8 weeks old nude mice were anesthetized, and SU-DIPG13 cells (1×10⁵ cells/5 μL) were implanted into the pontine region of the brain. Seven days post-implantation, LDN-214117 was suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium and administered orally at 50 mg/kg/day for 28 days. Vehicle group received carboxymethylcellulose sodium. Tumor volume was measured by MRI at 28 days; median survival was recorded. Mice were euthanized, and brain tissues were collected for immunohistochemistry (Ki-67) and Western blot (p-Smad1/5/8) [3] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In vitro experiments showed that LDN-214117 had low toxicity to normal human cells (human bronchial epithelial cells IC50 > 20 μM; human astrocytes IC50 > 25 μM) [2][3]. In vivo studies showed that oral administration of LDN-214117 (50 mg/kg/day for 28 days) to nude mice did not lead to significant weight loss (<5% vs. baseline) or significant death [3]. Compared with the vector control group, no significant changes were observed in liver function (ALT, AST) or kidney function (creatinine, BUN) in mice treated with LDN-214117 [3].
