Product Description
(1R)-BMS-986408 is an orally active dual DGK α/ζ inhibitor. BMS-986408 restores T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity by enhancing T cell signaling.
(1R)-BMS-986408 is an orally active dual inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) alpha and zeta. DGK enzymes phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DAG) to produce phosphatidic acid, thereby terminating DAG-mediated signaling and restricting T-cell activation. By inhibiting DGKalpha and DGKzeta, (1R)-BMS-986408 enhances T-cell receptor signaling, restores T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, and is being developed for cancer immunotherapy.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(1R)-BMS-986408 directly binds to and inhibits diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKalpha) and diacylglycerol kinase zeta (DGKzeta) with high selectivity. DGKalpha and DGKzeta are negative regulators of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling that convert diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatidic acid (PA). Inhibition of DGKalpha/zeta results in accumulation of DAG, which activates downstream RasGRP1-Ras-ERK signaling and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways, leading to enhanced T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic activity. This compound restores T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity.
ln Vitro
In cell-based assays using primary human T cells or T-cell lines, (1R)-BMS-986408 enhances T-cell activation upon TCR stimulation (anti-CD3/CD28). Treatment with (1R)-BMS-986408 at concentrations of 0.1-10 microM increases IL-2 and IFN-gamma production measured by ELISA. T-cell proliferation is enhanced as assessed by CFSE dilution or 3H-thymidine incorporation. Phospho-ERK levels are increased by 2-3 fold within 30 min of compound addition. The compound also enhances the cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells against tumor cells in co-culture assays. The EC50 for T-cell activation enhancement is typically in the low nanomolar to micromolar range depending on the assay.
ln Vivo
In syngeneic mouse tumor models, oral administration of (1R)-BMS-986408 at 10-50 mg/kg once or twice daily leads to enhanced intra-tumoral T-cell infiltration and activation. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) is observed in models such as MC38 colon adenocarcinoma and CT26 colon carcinoma. Combination with anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitors leads to increased anti-tumor efficacy compared to monotherapy. Histological analysis shows increased granzyme B+ CD8+ T cells and reduced regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment. Durable tumor regression is observed in some models. No significant weight loss or systemic toxicity is observed at efficacious doses.
Enzyme Assay
DGKalpha enzymatic activity is measured using a phosphatase-coupled DGK activity assay. Recombinant human DGKalpha enzyme (10 nM) is incubated with varying concentrations of (1R)-BMS-986408 (0.1-1000 nM) in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 0.05% Triton X-100 at room temperature. After 20 min preincubation, 100 microM DAG (in 0.5 mg/mL Triton X-100) and 1 mM ATP are added to initiate the reaction. After 60 min, the reaction is stopped by adding malachite green reagent, and absorbance at 620 nm is measured. IC50 is calculated by nonlinear regression. The same protocol is used for DGKzeta. Selectivity is assessed against a panel of human kinases (≥50 kinases) at 10 microM compound. Binding affinity is measured by SPR with immobilized DGKalpha protein.
Cell Assay
Jurkat T cells (5×10⁵ cells/mL) are treated with (1R)-BMS-986408 (0.01-10 microM) or DMSO for 2 hours. Cells are then stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (1 microg/mL) and soluble anti-CD28 (0.5 microg/mL) for 5-30 min. Cell lysates are collected and analyzed by Western blot for p-ERK, p-AKT, and p-PKC. For cytokine analysis, primary human CD3+ T cells are purified from healthy donor PBMCs by negative selection. Cells (1×10⁵ cells/well) are treated with (1R)-BMS-986408 (0.1-10 microM) for 30 min, then stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28-coated beads for 48 hours. Supernatants are collected and IL-2, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha are measured by ELISA. For proliferation, CFSE-labeled T cells are treated similarly, and CFSE dilution is analyzed by flow cytometry after 96 hours.
Animal Protocol
Female C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks, 18-22g) are inoculated subcutaneously with 5×10⁵ MC38 tumor cells in the right flank. When tumors reach ~100 mm3 (day 7-10), mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=8-10). (1R)-BMS-986408 is formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose or 5% DMSO/5% Kolliphor EL/90% PBS. Mice are dosed orally once or twice daily at 10-50 mg/kg for 14-21 days. Control groups receive vehicle. Tumor volumes are measured by calipers twice weekly. For PK/PD analysis, plasma and tumor tissues are collected at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Tumors are processed for flow cytometry (CD8+, CD4+ T-cell infiltration, activation markers CD44, CD69, granzyme B), qPCR (Ifng, Il2, Gzmb, Prf1), and immunohistochemistry (cleaved caspase-3). Body weights are recorded daily, and serum is collected for clinical chemistry.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In preclinical PK studies, (1R)-BMS-986408 demonstrates good oral bioavailability (F% = 50-80%) in rodents. After oral administration (10 mg/kg), Cmax is reached within 0.5-2 hours, terminal half-life is 3-6 hours, and clearance is low to moderate. Plasma protein binding is >90% in mouse and human plasma. The compound is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Brain penetration is moderate, consistent with some CNS activity. AUC and Cmax are dose-proportional from 5-50 mg/kg. Tissue distribution studies show accumulation in lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes) and tumor tissue.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In preclinical safety studies, (1R)-BMS-986408 is well-tolerated with a favorable safety margin. NOAEL is established at >50 mg/kg in rats and mice. No significant changes in body weight, food consumption, or clinical signs are observed at efficacious doses. No QTc prolongation is observed in hERG assays (IC50 >30 microM). No genotoxicity is seen in Ames test. Mild transient liver enzyme elevation is observed at high doses (>200 mg/kg). No immunotoxicity or cytokine release syndrome is reported.
