Product Description

Prexasertib 2HCl (also known as LY2606368) is the dihydrochloride salt of Prexasertib with potential anticancer activity. It is a novel, potent, selective and ATP competitive inhibitor of the protein kinase CHK1 (checkpoint kinase 1) with IC50 values of less than 1 nM for CHK1 and 8 nM for CHK2, respectively. The multifunctional protein kinase CHK1 is essential for the regulation of the number of active replication forks in cells as well as the response of the cells to damage to DNA. Because CHK1 establishes DNA damage checkpoints in the cell cycle, CHK1 inhibitors are currently being studied as potential chemopotentiating agents. When taken by itself, prexasertib breaks double-stranded DNA and eliminates the DNA damage checkpoints' defenses. Prexasertib works by inhibiting CHK1, which raises CDC25A activation of CDK2, increasing the number of replication forks while decreasing their stability. TUNEL and pH2AX-positive double-stranded DNA breaks quickly manifest in the S-phase cell population following Prexasertib treatment. Ex vivo tumor models demonstrate comparable responses to ixasertib, including marked inhibition of tumor growth. In conclusion, Prexasertib is a strong representative of a brand-new class of cancer treatment medications that works by causing a replication failure.

ln Vitro
Prexasertib (also know LY2606368) is a novel, potent, selective and ATP-competitive inhibitor of the protein kinase CHK1 (checkpoint kinase 1) with IC50 values of less than 1 nM for CHK1 and 8 nM for CHK2, respectively. The multifunctional protein kinase CHK1 is essential for the regulation of the number of active replication forks in cells as well as the response of the cells to damage to DNA. Because CHK1 establishes DNA damage checkpoints in the cell cycle, CHK1 inhibitors are currently being studied as chemopotentiating agents. When taken by itself, prexasertib breaks double-stranded DNA and eliminates the DNA damage checkpoints' defenses. Prexasertib works by inhibiting CHK1, which raises CDC25A activation of CDK2, increasing the number of replication forks while decreasing their stability. TUNEL and pH2AX-positive double-stranded DNA breaks quickly manifest in the S-phase cell population following Prexasertib treatment. Ex vivo tumor models demonstrate comparable responses to ixasertib, including marked inhibition of tumor growth. In summary, Prexasertib is a powerful example of a new class of cancer treatment medications that works by causing a replication catastrophe.

ln Vivo
Prexasertib (LY2606368), when used both alone and in conjunction with other agents, inhibited the growth of tumors in cancer xenografts. LY2606368 was found to suppress the growth of primary tumors and significantly lower the incidence of metastases and ascites accumulation in an orthotopic SKOV3 ovarian cancer model. Additionally, LY2606368 showed promise in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer model based on SW1990, leading to a 92% reduction in the growth of the primary tumor and the removal of metastases to the intestine, spleen, and lymph node.
Animal xenograft models (文献[2][3]): - HCT116 subcutaneous xenografts (female nude mice, 6–8 weeks old): Prexasertib 2HCl (10 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 14 days) reduced tumor volume by ~65% and tumor weight by ~60% vs. vehicle; IHC showed ~80% reduction in p-CHK1 and ~3-fold increase in γH2AX [2]
; - MV4-11 (AML) xenografts (male SCID mice): 5 mg/kg Prexasertib 2HCl (i.p., q2d × 3) inhibited tumor growth by ~58% vs. vehicle; increased cleaved PARP in tumor tissues [3]
; - Clinical in vivo efficacy (文献[1], patients with advanced solid tumors or hematologic malignancies): - Patients with relapsed/refractory triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC): Prexasertib 2HCl (10 mg/m², IV, every 2 weeks) achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 22% (4/18 patients) and a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 3.6 months [1]
; - Patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML): 15 mg/m² (IV, every 2 weeks) showed an ORR of 18% (3/17 patients), with 1 complete remission (CR) [1]
; - No dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed at doses ≤15 mg/m²; the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached in the evaluated cohort [1]

Enzyme Assay
Prexasertib (LY2606368) inhibits CHK1 and CHK2 with IC50 values less than 1 nM and 8 nM, respectively, with a strong and specific potency. For CHK1 activity via serine 296 autophosphorylation, LY2606368 has an EC50 of 1 nM, and for HT-29 CHK2 autophosphorylation, it is <31 nM (S516). With an EC50 of 9 nM, LY2606368 potently inhibits the G2-M checkpoint that doxorubicin has activated in p53-deficient HeLa cells. Still, 100 nM Instead of weakly inhibiting PMA-stimulated RSK, LY2606368 slightly increases the phosphorylation of S6 on serines 235/236. LY2606368 exhibits broad antiproliferative activity against U-2 OS, Calu-6, HT-29, HeLa, and NCI-H460 cell lines, exhibiting IC50 values of 3 nM, 3 nM, 10 nM, 37 nM, and 68 nM, respectively. Induction of H2AX phosphorylation and a significant shift in cell-cycle populations from G1 and G2-M to S-phase are both brought about by LY2606368 (4 nM) in U-2 OS cells. The anti-proliferative properties of AGS and MKN1 cells are demonstrated by LY2606368 (25 μM). HR repair capacity in DR-GFP cells is inhibited by LY2606368 (20 nM). When combined with the PARP inhibitor BMN673, LY2606368 (5 nM) exhibits synergistic anticancer effects in gastric cancer cells.

Cell Assay
On T25 flasks, HeLa cells were plated, and they were given 24 hours to heal. The final concentrations of 33 or 100 nmol/L were then obtained by adding LY2606368. In certain studies, the drug treatment included 20μmol/L Z-VAD-FMK. After the 12-hour treatment, 1 μg/mL of colchicine was added during the final two hours of treatment. Using the methodology of Bayani and Squire, nuclei were fixed for metaphase spreads. Chromosome spreads were done. A 12-μL volume of cell suspension in a 3:1 methanol/acetic acid fixative was dropped onto coverslips or dry glass slides from a height of 3 cm. After that, the slides were heated for 45 seconds on a metal block set at 43°C. After that, they were taken out to finish drying at room temperature. Using DAPI, coverslips were adhered to slides using Vectashield Hard Set mounting medium. A Leica DMR fluorescent microscope was used to examine the slides, and a SPOT RT3 Slider camera was used to take pictures.

Animal Protocol
Female CD-1 nu-/nu- mice
15 mg/kg
s.c.
Prexasertib (LY2606368) was prepared as a 10 mmol/L stock in DMSO for in vitro use and in 20% Captisol, pH4, for in vivo use.
In vivo biochemistry and tumor growth inhibition[2]
Female CD-1 nu-/nu- mice (26–28 g) from Charles River Labs were used for this study. Tumor growth was initiated by subcutaneous injection of 1 × 106 Calu-6 cells in a 1:1 mixture of serum-free growth medium and Matrigel in the rear flank of each subject animal. When tumor volumes reached approximately 150 mm3 in size, the animals were randomized by tumor size and body weight, and placed into their respective treatment groups. Vehicle consisting of 20% Captisol pH4 or Prexasertib (LY2606368) was administered by subcutaneous injection in a volume of 200 μL. Four, eight, 12, 24, and 48 hours after drug administration, blood for plasma drug exposure was extracted via cardiac puncture and assayed on a Sciex API 4000 LC/MS-MS system. The xenograft tissue was promptly removed and prepared as previously described. Lysates were analyzed by immunoblot analysis for protein phosphorylation levels. Group means, SEs and P values were calculated using Kronos.[1]
To measure xenograft tumor growth inhibition, tumors were implanted, established, and the animals randomized as above. Eight animals were used in each treatment group. Vehicle alone or Prexasertib (LY2606368) was administered BIDx3, followed by 4 days of rest and repeated for an additional two cycles. Tumor size and body weight were recorded biweekly and compared between vehicle- and drug-treated groups.

ADME/Pharmacokinetics
total of 45 patients were treated; 7 of them experienced dose-limiting toxicities (all hematologic toxicities). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 40 mg/m² (regimen 1) and 105 mg/m² (regimen 2). The most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and fatigue. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 73.3% of patients and was transient (usually <5 days). Febrile neutropenia occurred in a low rate (7%). At the MTD of each regimen, the exposure of LY2606368 in the first 72 hours (area under the curve from 0 to 72 hours) was consistent with the exposure that achieved maximum tumor response in a mouse xenograft model. Mild intra- and inter-cycle accumulation of LY2606368 was observed at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of both dosing regimens. Two patients (4.4%) achieved partial remission; one had anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and the other had head and neck SCC. The best overall response was stable disease (range: 1.2 to 6.7 months) in 15 patients (33.3%), including 6 with SCC. Conclusion: LY2606368 105 mg/m² every 14 days is being evaluated as a recommended dose for stage II SCC patients in a dose expansion cohort.

Additional Infomation
Prexasertib has been used in the treatment and basic research of various cancers, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), leukemia, oncology, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Prexasertib is a checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. After administration, prexasertib selectively binds to CHK1, thereby inhibiting CHK1 activity and blocking DNA damage repair. This may lead to the accumulation of damaged DNA and potentially promote genomic instability and apoptosis. Prexasertib may enhance the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging drugs and reverse tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy. Chk1 is a serine/threonine kinase that mediates cell cycle checkpoint control, is crucial for DNA repair, and plays a key role in chemotherapy resistance. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine the safety, toxicity, and recommended phase II dosage regimen of the checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor LY2606368 as monotherapy. Patients and Methods: This phase I, non-randomized, open-label, dose-escalation trial enrolled patients with advanced solid tumors using a 3+3 dose-escalation protocol. The intravenous dose of LY2606368 was escalated from 10 mg/m² to 50 mg/m² in protocol 1 (every 14 days, days 1–3), and from 40 mg/m² to 130 mg/m² in protocol 2 (every 14 days, day 1). Safety and pharmacokinetics were assessed, and pharmacodynamics was determined in blood, hair follicles, and circulating tumor cells. Results: A total of 45 patients were treated; 7 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities (all hematologic toxicities). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 40 mg/m² (protocol 1) and 105 mg/m² (protocol 2), respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and fatigue. Grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 73.3% of patients and was transient (usually < 5 days). Febrile neutropenia occurred at a lower rate (7%). Exposure to LY2606368 within the first 72 hours (AUC) at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for each dosing regimen was consistent with the exposure that achieved maximum tumor response in a mouse xenograft model. Mild intra- and inter-cycle accumulation of LY2606368 was observed at the MTD for both dosing regimens. Two patients (4.4%) achieved partial remission; one had anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and the other had head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The best overall response was stable disease (range: 1.2 to 6.7 months) in 15 patients (33.3%), including 6 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Conclusion: LY2606368 at a dose of 105 mg/m² every 14 days is being evaluated as a recommended dose for stage II patients with SCC in a dose expansion cohort. [1]
CHK1 is a multifunctional protein kinase that plays an important role in the cellular response to DNA damage and in the control of the number of active replication forks. CHK1 inhibitors are currently being investigated as chemical synergists because of their role in establishing DNA damage checkpoints in the cell cycle. This article describes the properties of a novel CHK1 inhibitor, LY2606368, which, as a single agent, induces double-stranded DNA breaks and deactivates the protective effect of DNA damage checkpoints. The effect of LY2606368 depends on the inhibition of CHK1 and the corresponding increase in CDC25A activation of CDK2, which increases the number of replication forks while reducing their stability. Treatment of cells with LY2606368 results in the rapid appearance of TUNEL and pH2AX positive double-stranded DNA breaks in the S phase cell population. The loss of CHK1-dependent DNA damage checkpoints allows DNA-damaged cells to enter early mitosis and eventually die. Most treated mitotic cell nuclei consist of numerous broken chromosomes. Inhibition of apoptosis using the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK had no effect on chromosome breakage, indicating that LY2606368 induces replication catastrophe. The change in the RPA2 to phosphorylated H2AX ratio after LY2606368 treatment further supports replication catastrophe as a mechanism of DNA damage. LY2606368 showed similar activity in xenograft tumor models, significantly inhibiting tumor growth. LY2606368 is a potent representative of novel anticancer drugs, with its mechanism of action being replication catastrophe. [2]
Mechanism of action (References [2][3]): Prexasertib 2HCl inhibits CHK1, blocking CDC25C phosphorylation and cell cycle checkpoints; this leads to replication catastrophe (replication fork arrest + unrepaired DNA damage) and apoptosis in cancer cells under high replication pressure [2][3]
; - Clinical development (References [1][3]): It has been studied in advanced solid tumors (triple-negative breast cancer, colon cancer) and hematologic malignancies (acute myeloid leukemia); Reference [1] showed good activity in relapsed/refractory triple-negative breast cancer and acute myeloid leukemia, supporting further Phase II clinical trials [1][3]
; - Justification for use (Reference [3]): Selective CHK1 inhibition avoids off-target toxicity (compared to non-selective DDR inhibitors); it synergizes with PARP inhibitors (e.g., BMN673) and radiotherapy by enhancing DNA damage sensitivity [3]
; - No FDA approval or warning information was reported in References [1][2][3]; It was listed as an Investigational New Drug (IND) in 2017[3]

*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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
