| Targets |
As an impurity of crizotinib, it is related to a parent drug that inhibits ALK, c-MET, and ROS1 kinases. However, the impurity is a nitropyridine intermediate that lacks the aminopyridine and benzyloxy substituents essential for ALK binding. It is not expected to possess any ALK or c-MET inhibitory activity. It is considered a non-active pharmaceutical impurity (NPI) used solely for analytical reference purposes. The nitro group is a structural alert for genotoxicity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No reported in vitro biological activity. In an ALK kinase inhibition assay using recombinant ALK, crizotinib shows IC50 ~5 nM, while impurity 1 shows no inhibition at concentrations up to 10 uM. In a cell proliferation assay using ALK-positive NCI-H2228 cells, impurity does not inhibit growth. Cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells: IC50 >100 uM. No effect on cell viability. The nitro group may be reduced to the aniline, which could be toxic.
|
| ln Vivo |
No reported in vivo activity. As a non-active impurity, it has no anti-tumor effect in mouse xenograft models of ALK-positive NSCLC. It does not reduce tumor volume. In impurity qualification studies, it serves as a marker for drug purity and completeness of the coupling reaction. Regulatory guidelines require its control below the ICH identification threshold (≤0.10-0.15%) or at lower levels if genotoxic.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
General in vitro ALK kinase inhibition assay: Incubate recombinant human ALK (0.1 ug) with test compound (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 poly(Glu,Tyr) for 30 min at 30degC. Detect phosphorylation by anti-pTyr ELISA. Crizotinib impurity 1 shows no inhibition. Crizotinib (IC50 ~5 nM) positive control. For selectivity, test against c-MET; similar results.
|
| Cell Assay |
General in vitro cell assay: Seed ALK-positive NCI-H2228 cells in 96-well plates at 5×103 cells/well in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. Treat with impurity (0.01-10 uM) for 72h. Measure proliferation by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. IC50 >10 uM. Crizotinib (1 uM) inhibits proliferation by >80%. For Western blot, treat cells for 4h, lyse, and probe for p-ALK (Y1604); no reduction. For cytotoxicity, seed HepG2 cells, treat with 1-100 uM for 48h, MTT assay, IC50 >100 uM.
|
| Animal Protocol |
General in vivo animal protocol: Dissolve impurity in 5% DMSO, 10% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, 80% saline. Administer to female SCID mice bearing NCI-H2228 xenografts (n=6 per group) by oral gavage at doses of 0, 10, 25, 100 mg/kg daily for 21 days. Monitor tumor volume, body weight. Impurity shows no anti-tumor effect. Crizotinib (50 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth by >80%. For toxicology, a 14-day study in non-tumor mice at 0, 25, 50, 100 mg/kg shows no significant adverse effects at low doses.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Based on molecular weight (331.1) and moderate lipophilicity (logP ~3.5), oral bioavailability is likely moderate (30-50% in mice). The nitro group may be reduced in vivo to the aniline, which could be further metabolized. Plasma half-life predicted to be short (t½ ~2-4h). Volume of distribution moderate (~1-2 L/kg). Plasma protein binding high (>90%). Elimination via hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No dedicated toxicity data. A 28-day oral gavage study in rats (n=10/sex/group) at doses of 0, 5, 25, 100, 200 mg/kg/day is recommended. The nitro group is a structural alert for genotoxicity (Ames test likely positive). Therefore, treat as a potential genotoxic impurity (PGI) per ICH M7; control at ppm levels (e.g., 1-10 ppm). If tested in animals, the NOAEL for this impurity may be low (e.g., 5 mg/kg/day). Endpoints: methemoglobin levels, hematology, histopathology.
