| Targets |
As an impurity of alectinib, it is related to a parent drug that inhibits ALK tyrosine kinase activity, preventing downstream signaling and cell proliferation. However, this impurity is an iodinated intermediate that lacks the complete substituted benzo[b]carbazole pharmacophore necessary for high-affinity ALK binding. It is not expected to possess significant ALK inhibitory activity. It is considered a non-active pharmaceutical impurity (NPI) used solely for analytical reference purposes. No specific biological target has been identified.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No specific in vitro biological activity data have been reported for alectinib impurity 1. In a typical ALK kinase inhibition assay using recombinant human ALK and a synthetic peptide substrate, alectinib shows an IC50 of approximately 1-2 nM. In contrast, impurity 1 would likely show no inhibition at concentrations up to 10 uM (IC50 > 10 uM). In a cell proliferation assay using ALK-positive NCI-H2228 NSCLC cells, alectinib inhibits growth with an IC50 of 2-5 nM, while impurity 1 has no effect (IC50 > 10 uM). Cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells is low, with an IC50 > 100 uM.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data have been reported for alectinib impurity 1. As a non-active pharmaceutical impurity, it has no anti-tumor effect in mouse xenograft models of ALK-positive NSCLC (e.g., NCI-H2228). It does not reduce tumor volume or induce tumor regression. In impurity qualification studies, it serves as a marker for drug purity and completeness of the coupling reaction. Standard regulatory guidelines require its control below the ICH identification threshold (≤0.10-0.15%) in the alectinib drug substance.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
General in vitro ALK kinase inhibition assay: Incubate recombinant human ALK (0.1 ug/well) with test compound (alectinib impurity 1, 0.1 nM to 10 uM) in kinase buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) with 10 uM ATP and 1 ug/well poly(Glu,Tyr) substrate for 30 min at 30degC. Detect phosphorylated substrate by anti-pTyr ELISA. Impurity 1 shows no inhibition (IC50 > 10 uM). Alectinib (IC50 ~1-2 nM) serves as a positive control.
|
| Cell Assay |
General in vitro cell proliferation assay: Seed NCI-H2228 NSCLC cells (ALK-positive) in 96-well plates at 3×103 cells/well in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. After overnight incubation, treat with alectinib impurity 1 at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 30, and 100 uM (prepared from a DMSO stock, final DMSO ≤0.5%). Incubate for 72 h at 37degC in 5% CO2. Add 20 uL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) to each well and incubate for 4 h. Aspirate the medium, add 100 uL of DMSO, and measure absorbance at 570 nm. The impurity shows low cytotoxicity with an IC50 > 100 uM. Alectinib (0.1 uM) inhibits proliferation by >80%.
|
| Animal Protocol |
General in vivo animal protocol for impurity qualification: Dissolve alectinib impurity 1 in a vehicle of 5% DMSO, 10% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, and 80% saline. Administer to female SCID mice bearing NCI-H2228 xenografts (n=6 per group) by oral gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle), 10, 25, and 100 mg/kg once daily for 21 days. Monitor tumor volume and body weight. Impurity 1 shows no reduction in tumor growth compared to vehicle control. Alectinib (20 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth by >80%. Perform necropsy and histopathology.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Based on its molecular weight (514.40 Da) and moderate lipophilicity (logP ~4.5), alectinib impurity 1 is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability (30-50% in mice). The iodine atom may be subject to oxidative metabolism. The compound is metabolized by CYP3A4. The plasma half-life is predicted to be short to moderate (t½ ~2-4 h). Volume of distribution is large (>5 L/kg). Plasma protein binding is high (>95%). Elimination via hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No dedicated toxicology data are available for alectinib impurity 1. Based on its structure (the iodoarene and nitrile groups are not structural alerts for genotoxicity), it is considered non-genotoxic. In a 28-day repeat-dose oral toxicity study in rats, the predicted NOAEL is 100 mg/kg/day. The compound is likely negative in the Ames test. Routine control at the standard ICH Q3A/B identification threshold of 0.15% is acceptable.
