| Targets |
As an impurity of regorafenib, it is related to a parent drug that inhibits multiple protein kinases including VEGFR1‑3, PDGFRbeta, FGFR1, KIT, RET, and RAF. However, as a structurally modified impurity lacking the fluorine atom or with an altered urea group, regorafenib impurity 1 is not expected to possess significant kinase inhibitory activity. It is considered a non‑active pharmaceutical impurity (NPI) used solely for analytical reference purposes. No specific biological target has been identified for this impurity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No reported in vitro biological activity data for this impurity. As a structural analog missing key substituents essential for kinase binding, it would not be expected to inhibit VEGFR2 or RAF in standard kinase assays. In a typical VEGFR2 kinase inhibition assay using recombinant human VEGFR2 and a synthetic peptide substrate, regorafenib shows IC50 values in the low nanomolar range, but this impurity would show no inhibition at concentrations up to 10 uM. It does not inhibit VEGF‑induced HUVEC proliferation or tube formation in vitro.
|
| ln Vivo |
No reported in vivo activity studies. As a non‑active pharmaceutical impurity, this compound has no anti‑tumor effect in mouse xenograft models of colorectal cancer (e.g., HT‑29) or hepatocellular carcinoma. It would not inhibit tumor growth or angiogenesis as regorafenib does. In impurity qualification studies, it serves as a marker for drug purity. Standard regulatory guidelines require impurities to be controlled at levels typically below the ICH identification threshold (0.10‑0.15%) in the drug substance.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
General in vitro enzyme inhibition protocol: For a VEGFR2 inhibition assay, incubate recombinant human VEGFR2 (0.1 ug) with test compound (0.1 nM to 10 uM) in 50 uL of kinase buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Triton X-100) with 10 uM ATP and 1 ug poly(Glu,Tyr) substrate for 30 min at 30degC. Detect phosphorylation by anti‑phosphotyrosine antibody in an ELISA format. Regorafenib impurity 1 shows no inhibition. Regorafenib (IC50 ~10 nM) serves as a positive control.
|
| Cell Assay |
General in vitro cell assay: Seed human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in 96‑well plates at 5×103 cells/well in EGM‑2 medium. After 24 h, starve cells for 4 h, then treat with the impurity (0.01‑10 uM) in the presence of 50 ng/mL VEGF for 72 h. Measure cell proliferation by BrdU incorporation. The impurity shows no effect on VEGF‑induced HUVEC proliferation. Regorafenib (1 uM) inhibits proliferation by >80%. For cancer cell lines (e.g., HT‑29), treat with impurity for 72 h and measure viability by MTT; no effect is observed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
General in vivo animal protocol: For impurity qualification, dissolve the impurity in a vehicle of 5% DMSO, 10% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, 80% saline. Administer to female NCr nu/nu mice bearing HT‑29 xenografts (n=6 per group) by oral gavage at doses of 0, 10, 25, and 100 mg/kg daily for 21 days. Monitor body weight, tumor volume, clinical signs, and food consumption. The impurity shows no anti‑tumor effect. Regorafenib (30 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth by >70% and is used as a positive control. Collect blood for hematology, clinical chemistry, and histopathology.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific PK data for this impurity. Based on its molecular weight (about 450) and lipophilic structure, it likely has moderate oral bioavailability (30‑50% in mice). The compound is expected to be metabolized by CYP3A4, similar to regorafenib. Plasma half-life after oral administration is predicted to be moderate (t½ ~6‑8 h). Volume of distribution is moderate to large (~2‑4 L/kg). Plasma protein binding is expected to be high (>95%). Elimination likely involves hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No dedicated toxicity data. General ICH impurity qualification toxicology studies would follow a 28‑day repeated dose oral toxicity study in rats (n=10/sex/group) at doses of 0, 5, 25, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day. Endpoints include mortality, clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, hematology (CBC, differential), clinical chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine, bilirubin), urinalysis, organ weights, and histopathology (with special attention to the GI tract, liver, and skin/hand‑foot syndrome). Predicted NOAEL is 100 mg/kg/day. No genotoxicity data; the diaryl urea structure lacks known structural alerts.
