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.

In vivo biochemistry and tumor growth inhibition[1] 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.

.

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 accumulation of LY2606368 was observed within the cycle and during the week 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 the recommended dose for stage II patients with SCC in a dose expansion cohort.

Prexasertib has been used in the treatment and basic research of various cancers, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), leukemia, tumors, 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 agents and reverse tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy drugs. 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. CHK1 is a multifunctional protein kinase that plays an important role in cellular responses to DNA damage and in controlling the number of active replication forks. Due to the important role of CHK1 in the establishment of DNA damage checkpoints during the cell cycle, CHK1 inhibitors are currently being investigated as chemical potentiators. This article describes the properties of a novel CHK1 inhibitor, LY2606368. LY2606368, as a single agent, induces double-strand DNA breaks and simultaneously deprives DNA damage checkpoints of their protective function. The action of LY2606368 depends on the inhibition of CHK1 and the resulting increase in CDK2 activation (CDC25A activation), which increases the number of replication forks and reduces their stability. Treatment of cells with LY2606368 rapidly resulted in TUNEL and pH2AX-positive double-strand 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 of the treated mitotic cell nuclei contained 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, and its mechanism of action is through replication catastrophe. [2]

The primary objective of this study was to determine the safety, toxicity, and recommended dosage regimen of LY2606368 (a checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor) as monotherapy in a Phase II clinical trial. 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 regimen. The intravenous dose of LY2606368 was escalated from 10 mg/m² to 50 mg/m² in regimen 1 (every 14 days, day 1 to 3) and from 40 mg/m² to 130 mg/m² in regimen 2 (every 14 days, day 1). Safety parameters and pharmacokinetics were evaluated, and pharmacodynamics were determined in blood, hair follicles, and circulating tumor cells. Conclusion: LY2606368 105 mg/m², once every 14 days, is being evaluated as the recommended dose for phase II patients with SCC in a dose expansion cohort. [1]

Mechanism of action (Reference [1]): Prexasertib mesylate hydrate inhibits CHK1, a key kinase in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. It disrupts cell cycle checkpoints by blocking CHK1-mediated CDC25C phosphorylation, leading to replication catastrophe (characterized by replication fork arrest and unrepaired DNA damage) and subsequent apoptosis [1]
;- Theoretical basis for combination therapy (Reference [2]): Prexasertib mesylate hydrate (a CHK1 inhibitor) has a synergistic effect with BMN673 (a PARP inhibitor) in gastric cancer. PARP inhibitors block homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair, while CHK1 inhibitors eliminate DDR checkpoints, producing a "synthetic lethal" effect that enhances cancer cell death [2]; - Clinical relevance (Reference [1]): It has been reported that presartinib mesylate hydrate has entered clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors (e.g., colon cancer, breast cancer), but has not yet been approved by the FDA or has reported phase III trial data [1]; - Selectivity advantage (Reference [1]): The high specificity of presartinib mesylate hydrate to CHK1 avoids off-target inhibition of other DDR kinases (e.g., CHK2, ATR), thereby minimizing potential off-target toxicity [1].
