HPK1 0.25 nM (IC50)
HPK1-IN-3 specifically targets HPK1 (MAP4K1). It is a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.25 nM against the enzyme. HPK1 is a serine/threonine kinase that acts as a negative regulator of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. By blocking HPK1 activity, the compound is designed to relieve this brake on T-cell activation, promoting a more robust immune response. It also has reported cellular potency in human PBMCs. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In human monocyte-derived dendritic cells, treatment with HPK1-IN-3 (Compound 27; 0.25–4 μM; 24 hours) significantly increased the concentration-dependent levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 [1].
In cell-free enzymatic assays, HPK1-IN-3 demonstrates potent inhibitory activity against HPK1 (MAP4K1) with an IC50 of 0.25 nM. This data confirms it as a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor. In cellular assays using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), HPK1-IN-3 exhibits an EC50 of 108 nM for enhancing IL-2 production, demonstrating its functional activity and ability to modulate T-cell responses in a relevant cellular system. |
| ln Vivo |
Specific in vivo activity data for HPK1-IN-3 is not published. However, given its potent in vitro activity and cellular EC50 of 108 nM, it is hypothesized to enhance T-cell responses in vivo. This could be demonstrated in a syngeneic mouse tumor model (e.g., MC38 or CT26), where oral administration of HPK1-IN-3 might slow tumor growth by enhancing CD8+ T-cell infiltration and effector function. It could also be used in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody to potentially overcome resistance.

| Enzyme Assay |
The specific in vitro protocol for HPK1-IN-3 uses an ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay. The assay is performed in white 384-well plates. Recombinant full-length human HPK1 (MAP4K1) enzyme is incubated with a serial dilution of HPK1-IN-3 (e.g., 1 pM to 10 uM) in kinase reaction buffer containing 10 uM ATP and MBP substrate. After 60 minutes at room temperature, ADP-Glo Reagent is added to terminate the reaction and deplete remaining ATP. After 40 minutes, Kinase Detection Reagent is added to convert ADP to ATP and to allow measurement of luminescence using a plate reader. IC50 values are calculated using a four-parameter logistic curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are isolated from whole blood using Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation. PBMCs are seeded in 96-well plates pre-coated with anti-CD3 antibody (1 ug/mL). HPK1-IN-3 is added at concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 10 uM, along with soluble anti-CD28 antibody (1 ug/mL). After 72 hours of culture, cell supernatants are harvested. IL-2 levels are quantified using an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) or ELISA-based assay. The EC50 for IL-2 production is calculated from the concentration-response curve.

| Animal Protocol |
An in vivo pharmacodynamic (PD) protocol for HPK1-IN-3 would assess its ability to enhance T-cell activation. C57BL/6 mice are administered HPK1-IN-3 via oral gavage at doses of 1-30 mg/kg. At predetermined time points (e.g., 2, 6, 12, 24 hours post-dose), mice are euthanized and spleens are harvested. Splenocytes are isolated and stimulated ex vivo with anti-CD3/CD28 beads for 4-6 hours in the presence of GolgiPlug (brefeldin A). Cells are then surface-stained for CD4 and CD8, followed by intracellular cytokine staining for IL-2 and IFN-gamma. The percentage of cytokine-positive T cells is analyzed by flow cytometry to measure the pharmacodynamic effect.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed PK data for HPK1-IN-3 is not available. As a potent, selective, ATP-competitive HPK1 inhibitor, its properties would be characterized in a standard mouse PK study. Male BALB/c mice are given a single intravenous (IV) dose (1 mg/kg) and a single oral (PO) dose (10 mg/kg) of HPK1-IN-3. Plasma samples are collected at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose. HPK1-IN-3 concentrations are measured using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Key parameters including T1/2, Cmax, AUC, Cl, Vd, and oral bioavailability (%F) would be calculated using WinNonlin software.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data for HPK1-IN-3 is not available. As an HPK1 inhibitor that relieves a negative regulatory checkpoint on T cells, the primary on-target toxicity is expected to be immune-mediated inflammation. A standard exploratory toxicity study would involve a 7-day repeat-dose oral toxicity study in rats. Animals would be treated daily with HPK1-IN-3 at dose levels of 0, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg. Assessments include clinical observations, body weight, food consumption, hematology (with differential), serum chemistry, and full histopathological examination, with special attention given to lymphoid tissues (spleen, thymus, lymph nodes).
