Product Description
Ilginatinib maleate (NS-018 maleate; NS-018) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule inhibitor of Janus-associated kinase 2 (JAK2) and Src-family kinases, with potential antineoplastic activity. It inhibits JAK2 with an IC50 of 0.72 nM, and exhibits 46-, 54-, and 31-fold selectivity for JAK2 over JAK1 (IC50, 33 nM), JAK3 (IC50, 39 nM), and Tyk2 (IC50, 22 nM). JAK2/Src inhibitor NS-018 competes with ATP for binding to JAK2 as well as the mutated form JAK2V617F, thereby inhibiting the activation of JAK2 and downstream molecules in the JAK2/STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) signaling pathway that plays an important role in normal development, particularly hematopoiesis. In addition, NS-018 inhibits the Src family tyrosine kinases. This eventually leads to the induction of tumor cell apoptosis.
NS-018 maleate (CAS#: 1354799-87-3), also known as Ilginatinib maleate, is the maleate salt form of the highly potent and orally bioavailable Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor NS-018. With an IC50 of 0.72 nM for JAK2, NS-018 maleate demonstrates 30-50-fold selectivity for JAK2 over other JAK family members, including JAK1 (IC50 = 33 nM), JAK3 (IC50 = 39 nM), and TYK2 (IC50 = 22 nM). It also inhibits Src-family kinases (SRC, FYN). This unique selectivity profile—potent JAK2 inhibition combined with Src-family kinase targeting while sparing JAK1—preserves platelet and erythrocyte counts in preclinical models, addressing a critical unmet need in the approximately 30% of myelofibrosis patients with severe thrombocytopenia. The compound also demonstrates 4.3-fold selectivity for the JAK2V617F mutant over wild-type JAK2, with IC50 values of 11-120 nM in mutant-driven cell lines. NS-018 maleate is being developed by NS Pharma for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and essential thrombocythemia. A Phase 1 trial reported a 47% spleen response in prior JAK inhibitor-treated patients, and a Phase 2b trial is enrolling patients with platelet counts below 50,000/µL.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of NS-018 maleate is Janus-associated kinase 2 (JAK2), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a central role in cytokine signaling and hematopoiesis. JAK2 is activated by cytokines such as erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and its constitutive activation due to the JAK2V617F mutation is a hallmark of myeloproliferative neoplasms. NS-018 maleate acts as a highly potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of JAK2 with an IC50 of 0.72 nM. It demonstrates 30-50-fold selectivity for JAK2 over other JAK family members, including JAK1 (IC50 = 33 nM), JAK3 (IC50 = 39 nM), and TYK2 (IC50 = 22 nM). In addition to JAK2, NS-018 maleate inhibits Src-family kinases, including SRC and FYN. This unique selectivity profile—potent JAK2 inhibition combined with Src-family kinase targeting while sparing JAK1—preserves platelet and erythrocyte counts in preclinical models.
ln Vitro
Ilginatinibmaleate (NS-018maleate) is 46, 54, and 31 times more selective for JAK2 than JAK1 (IC50, 33 nM), JAK3 (IC50, 39 nM), and Tyk2 (IC50, 22 nM). is a highly active JAK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.72 nM. Additionally, lignotinibmaleate mildly inhibits ABL and FLT3, with 45- and 90-fold selectivity for JAK2, and inhibits Src family kinases, including SRC and FYN. With an IC50 of 11–120 nM, ilginatinibmaleate exhibits strong inhibitory activity against constitutively activated JAK2 (JAK2V617F, MPLW515L mutant cell lines, and the TEL–JAK2 fusion gene), but not against the majority of other hematopoietic cell lines. minimally cytotoxically activates JAK2 [1]. When used in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), ilginatinibmaleate (0.5 μM) primarily suppresses the development of colony-forming unit granulocytes/macrophages (CFU-GM) produced from bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC). In MDS patients' CFU-GM-forming cells, ilginatinibmaleate (1 μM) suppresses the phosphorylation of STAT3, a downstream kinase of JAK2 [2].
In vitro, NS-018 maleate is a highly potent JAK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.72 nM. It demonstrates 30-50-fold selectivity for JAK2 over other JAK family members (JAK1, JAK3, TYK2) and also inhibits Src-family kinases (SRC, FYN). The compound shows 4.3-fold selectivity for the JAK2V617F mutant over wild-type JAK2, with IC50 values of 11-120 nM in mutant-driven cell lines. This mutant selectivity is particularly important for the treatment of MPNs, as the JAK2V617F mutation is the most common genetic abnormality in these diseases. NS-018 maleate shows potent antiproliferative activity against cell lines expressing constitutively activated JAK2.
ln Vivo
In the mouse Ba/F3-JAK2V617F illness model, ilginatinibmaleate (NS-018maleate) (12.5, 25, 50, 100 mg/kg, oral) can successfully reduce splenomegaly and increase the length of time that mice survive [1]. In JAK2V617F transgenic mice, ilginatinib maleate (25, 50 mg/kg, oral) dramatically lowers leukocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly, and extramedullary hematopoiesis, enhances nutritional status, and increases survival [1].
In vivo, NS-018 maleate demonstrates significant efficacy in animal models of MPNs. It markedly reduces splenomegaly and prolongs the survival of mice inoculated with Ba/F3 cells harboring the JAK2V617F mutation. In JAK2V617F transgenic mice, NS-018 maleate significantly reduces leukocytosis, hepatosplenomegaly, and extramedullary hematopoiesis, improves nutritional status, and prolongs survival. The compound's oral bioavailability and potent in vivo efficacy support its continued development as a therapeutic agent for JAK2-driven malignancies. A Phase 1 trial reported a 47% spleen response in prior JAK inhibitor-treated patients, and a Phase 2b trial is enrolling patients with platelet counts below 50,000/µL.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for NS-018 maleate involve kinase activity assays using purified JAK2 enzyme or cell lysates. The compound's inhibitory activity is measured by monitoring the phosphorylation of a substrate peptide or protein in the presence of ATP. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves generated by plotting inhibitor concentration against residual kinase activity. Selectivity profiling against a panel of other kinases, including JAK1, JAK3, TYK2, and Src-family kinases, is performed to assess the compound's specificity. These assays confirm that NS-018 maleate is a potent and selective JAK2 inhibitor with activity against Src-family kinases.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for NS-018 maleate are conducted in hematopoietic cell lines expressing constitutively activated JAK2, including those with the JAK2V617F mutation. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of NS-018 maleate, and cell proliferation is measured using assays such as MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or colony formation assays. Apoptosis can be evaluated by measuring caspase activation, annexin V staining, or PARP cleavage. JAK2 phosphorylation and downstream signaling (e.g., STAT3, STAT5) are assessed by western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies. These assays confirm that NS-018 maleate engages its target in a cellular context and produces the expected anti-proliferative effects in JAK2-driven cells.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for NS-018 maleate are conducted in mouse models of MPNs, including JAK2V617F transgenic mice and mice inoculated with Ba/F3 cells harboring the JAK2V617F mutation. Animals are administered the compound orally, and disease progression is monitored by measuring spleen size, white blood cell counts, and overall survival. Histological examination of spleen, liver, and bone marrow is performed to assess the extent of extramedullary hematopoiesis and disease burden. These studies confirm that NS-018 maleate is effective in vivo and support its continued development for the treatment of MPNs.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of NS-018 maleate indicate that it has a molecular weight of 505.5 and a molecular formula of C25H24FN7O4. The compound is orally bioavailable, enabling convenient administration for in vivo studies. It is soluble in DMSO, facilitating its use in in vitro assays and formulation for in vivo administration. The compound is supplied as a lyophilized powder with ≥98% purity, QC-validated by NMR/HPLC/MS for reproducible in vivo and in vitro studies. For storage, the powder should be kept at 0-4°C for short term (days to weeks) or -20°C for long term (months to years).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of NS-018 maleate is derived from preclinical and clinical studies. As a JAK2 inhibitor, potential on-target toxicities include thrombocytopenia, anemia, and immunosuppression, which are well-documented class effects of JAK inhibitors. However, NS-018 maleate's selectivity for JAK2 over JAK1 is designed to minimize these toxicities, as JAK1 inhibition is associated with immunosuppression and increased risk of infections. In preclinical models, NS-018 maleate preserves platelet and erythrocyte counts, addressing a significant unmet need in MPN patients with severe thrombocytopenia. In Phase 1 trials, the compound was generally well-tolerated, with a 47% spleen response rate observed in prior JAK inhibitor-treated patients. Comprehensive toxicology studies would be required for full clinical development.
