Product Description

WHI-P180 (also known as Janex 3) is a multi-kinase inhibitor which inhibits RET, KDR and EGFR with IC50s of 5 nM, 66 nM and 4 μM, respectively. WHI-P180 is a potent in vitro and in vivo inhibitor of IgE-mediated mast cell responses. Additional preclinical research on WHI-P180 could enhance its in vivo efficacy and serve as a foundation for the development of efficient mast cell-mediated allergy reaction treatment and prevention initiatives. After being administered intravenously, intraperitoneally, or topically, WHI-P180 had an elimination half-life of less than 10 minutes in CD-1 (BALB/c) mice. WHI-P180 had a systemic clearance of 8188 mL/h/kg in BALB/c mice and 6742 mL/h/kg in CD-I mice. Interestingly, WHI-P180 inhibited IgE/antigen-induced vascular hyperpermeability in a well-characterized murine model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis when given in two consecutive nontoxic intraperitoneal bolus doses of 25 mg/kg.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
EGFR (IC50 = 4 μM); KDR (IC50 = 66 nM); RET (IC50 = 5 nM)
WHI-P180 is also a potent inhibitor of mast cell responses mediated by IgE. WHI-P180 has an elimination half-life of less than ten minutes in CD-1 (BALB/c) mice after intravenous, intraperitoneal, or po administration. In CD-I mice, the systemic clearance of WHI-P180 is 6742 mL/h/kg, whereas in BALB/c mice, it is 8188 mL/h/kg. Interestingly, in a well-established murine model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, WHI-P180 inhibits IgE/antigen-induced vascular hyperpermeability when given in two consecutive nontoxic intraperitoneal bolus doses of 25 mg/kg[3].
ln Vitro
WHI-P180 is also a potent inhibitor of mast cell responses mediated by IgE. WHI-P180 has an elimination half-life of less than ten minutes in CD-1 (BALB/c) mice after intravenous, intraperitoneal, or po administration. In CD-I mice, the systemic clearance of WHI-P180 is 6742 mL/h/kg, whereas in BALB/c mice, it is 8188 mL/h/kg. Interestingly, in a well-established murine model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, WHI-P180 inhibits IgE/antigen-induced vascular hyperpermeability when given in two consecutive nontoxic intraperitoneal bolus doses of 25 mg/kg[3].
In cellular assays using BaF3 cells engineered to be dependent on KIF5B-RET, compound 36 inhibited RET-driven cell proliferation with an IC₅₀ of 2100 nM. In parallel KDR-dependent BaF3 cells, it showed an IC₅₀ of >10000 nM, resulting in a cellular selectivity ratio of ≥5 for RET over KDR. [1]
Compound 36 was devoid of non-specific cytotoxicity in wild-type BaF3 cells (IC₅₀ >10000 nM), suggesting meaningful kinase selectivity in a cellular context. [1]
ln Vivo
WHI-P180 is also a potent inhibitor of mast cell responses mediated by IgE. In CD-1 mice (BALB/c mice), the elimination half-life of WHI-P180 is less than 10 minutes following intravenous, intraperitoneal, or po injection. For CD-I mice, the systemic clearance rate of WHI-P180 was 6742 mL/h/kg, but for BALB/c mice, it was 8188 mL/h/kg. Notably, WHI-P180, when given as two consecutive intraperitoneal nontoxic bolus doses of 25 mg/kg, decreased IgE/antigen-induced vascular permeability in a well-characterized mouse model of passive cutaneous allergy. excessive sexuality [3].
In diet-induced obese (DIO) mice with hepatic steatosis, treatment with SR9238 (30 mg/kg/day, i.p., for 30 days) substantially repressed hepatic expression of lipogenic genes (Fasn, ~60%; Srebp1c, ~80%; Scd1, ~90%). [2]
Treatment reduced hepatic lipid accumulation (visualized and quantified by Bodipy 493/503 staining). [2]
It suppressed hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (Tnfa, ~80%; Il1b, >95%) and reduced infiltration of Kupffer cells (liver macrophages, assessed by F4/80 immunohistochemistry). [2]
Treatment reduced plasma markers of hepatocellular injury: alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). [2]
Treatment significantly reduced total plasma cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels. [2]
It suppressed hepatic expression of Cyp7a1 and Hmgcr (~80%), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. [2]
No significant changes were observed in plasma glucose, insulin, triglycerides, body weight, or body fat composition in DIO mice. [2]
In brown adipose tissue of DIO mice, no significant changes in the expression of LXR target genes Fasn and Abca1 were observed after treatment, indicating liver-specific effects. [2]
In chow-fed mice treated for 7 days, SR9238 increased hepatic Il1b expression while decreasing Fasn and Srebp1c, indicating a potential initial pro-inflammatory effect that is countered in the long-term within an inflammatory disease model. [2]
Enzyme Assay
For fifteen minutes, inhibitors (WHI-P180) are pre-incubated in the plate containing five microliters of kinase and assay buffer at concentrations of thirteen pM RET and one hundred pM KDR. 5 μL of ATP and substrate added at 2×final reaction concentrations start the reaction. This is 18 μM and 2 μM for RET and 16 μM and 1 μM for KDR, respectively. At ATP Km, reactions are carried out for every target. After 20 minutes of assaying at room temperature, 10 μL of HTRF detection buffer supplemented with TK-antibody labelled with Eu3+-Cryptate (1:100 dilution) and streptavidin-XL665 (128 nM) is added to end the experiment. The FRET signal is measured after a one-hour incubation period at room temperature[1].
Biochemical kinase inhibition assays for RET and KDR were performed using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method. The assay was conducted in a 10 µL reaction volume in 384-well plates. For the RET assay, the buffer contained magnesium chloride, DTT, and other components. The reaction mixture was pre-incubated with the kinase (at a specified concentration) and the test compound for 15 minutes. The reaction was then initiated by adding ATP and a biotinylated substrate peptide at concentrations near the Km for each kinase (RET: 18 µM ATP, 2 µM substrate; KDR: 16 µM ATP, 1 µM substrate). After a 20-minute incubation at room temperature, the reaction was stopped by adding a detection buffer containing EDTA, a europium cryptate-labeled anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody, and streptavidin-XL665. Following a 1-hour incubation, the FRET signal was measured. IC₅₀ values were determined from dose-response curves. [1]
Cell Assay
A recombinant kinase that is activated is expressed by BaF3 cells that are dependent on IL3. Recombinant kinase activity is necessary for the survival and proliferation of the altered cells after IL3 is removed. In RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and suitable antibiotics, BaF3 cell lines that express KIF5B-RET and KDR are raised. Recombinant mouse IL-3 (10 ng/mL) is added to 10% FBS-containing RPMI-1640 medium to sustain unmodified BaF3 cells (WT). An acoustic liquid handling platform is used to dispense compounds after cells are plated into 384-well plates at a density of 1500 or 3000 per well in 30 μL culture medium in order to determine the compound IC50. The viability of the cells is assessed by adding 10 μL of CellTiter-Glo reagent and measuring luminescence after they have been incubated for 48 hours at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere[1].
Cellular potency was assessed using engineered BaF3 cell lines. These IL3-dependent cells were modified to express and depend on either an activated RET fusion (KIF5B-RET) or KDR for survival and proliferation. For the assay, cells were plated in 384-well plates. Test compounds were dispensed using an acoustic liquid handler. After incubating the cells with compounds for 48 hours at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO₂ atmosphere, cell viability was determined by adding a luminescent cell viability reagent and measuring the signal. IC₅₀ values were calculated from the dose-response curves. Non-specific cytotoxicity was evaluated similarly using the parental wild-type BaF3 cell line maintained with IL3. [1]
Animal Protocol
Mice: The measurement of mouse plasma WHI-P180 levels is done using a quantitative detection method based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The WinNonlin program is used to compute the pharmacokinetic parameters in order to fit the plasma concentration-time data to a single compartment pharmacokinetic model. The pharmacodynamic effects of WHI-P180 on vascular hyperpermeability associated with anaphylaxis are investigated using a cutaneous anaphylaxis model[3].
Pharmacokinetic studies for compound 36 were conducted in male CD-1 mice following a single intravenous or oral administration. Blood samples were collected as dried blood spots at various time points. The samples were processed through solvent extraction and a phospholipid removal plate, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis to determine drug concentration. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the concentration-time data using non-compartmental analysis. [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Compound 36 exhibits higher intrinsic clearance (CLint) in human hepatocytes than in human liver microsomes (6.2 µL/min/mg in microsomes), indicating that its metabolism involves phase II metabolism. In mice, the compound is metabolized more rapidly (microsomes: 28.2 µL/min/mg; hepatocytes: 38.1 µL/min/10⁶ cells). [1]
Compound 36 has good water solubility (>100 µM). It has moderate permeability in Caco-2 cells (Papp = 8.2 × 10⁻⁶ cm/s) with an efflux ratio of 4.9. [1]
In mice, total blood clearance is low (<10% hepatic blood flow) after intravenous administration. After oral administration, bioavailability is approximately 35%, and the oral half-life is approximately 2 hours. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In cytotoxicity assays using wild-type BaF3 cells (parental cell lines of engineered cells), compound 36 did not exhibit nonspecific toxicity at concentrations up to 10,000 nM (IC₅₀ > 10,000 nM). [1]

Additional Infomation
This study was driven by the clinical need for selective RET kinase inhibitors, as existing multi-target drugs such as vandetanib can cause dose-limiting toxicity due to off-target inhibition of kinases such as KDR. [1] Compound 36 was discovered through structure-based drug design with a starting skeleton similar to vandetanib. The key was the introduction of a phenolic hydroxyl group at the R² position and a methyl group at the R¹ position on the aniline ring. The phenolic hydroxyl group forms hydrogen bonds with Glu775 and Asp892 at the RET kinase active site, thereby increasing affinity. Although the methyl group at the R¹ position is slightly disadvantageous in RET due to its proximity to Ser891, it leads to a significant decrease in affinity for KDR (where Ser891 is replaced by the larger cysteine Cys1045), thereby increasing selectivity. [1] The initial phenolic lead compound had a high metabolic clearance rate. It was found that the introduction of a flanking methyl substituent at the R¹ position could improve the metabolic stability of hepatocytes. [1]
