In vitro
ABL001 is a potent, selective BCR-ABL inhibitor that maintains activity across most mutations, including T315I, with a distinct, allosteric mechanism of action. ABL001 binds at a regulatory site typically occupied by a myristoyl group in wild-type ABL and inhibits ABL kinase activity through a mechanism distinct from catalytic site inhibitors. It binds to a pocket on the BCR-ABL kinase domain that is normally occupied by the myristoylated N-terminus of ABL1. Upon fusion with BCR, this myristoylated N-terminus that serves to autoregulate ABL1 activity is lost. ABL001 functionally mimics the role of the myristoylated N-terminus by occupying its vacant binding site and restores the negative regulation of the kinase activity. ABL001 selectively inhibits the growth of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Ph+ ALL cells with potencies ranging from 1-10 nM range while BCR-ABL-negative cell lines remained unaffected at concentrations 1000-fold higher. NMR and biophysical studies confirm that ABL001 binds potently (dissociation constant (Kd)\u2009=\u20090.5-0.8\u2009nM) and selectively to the myristoyl pocket of ABL1 and induces the inactive C-terminal helix conformation. ABL001 lacks activity against more than 60 kinases, including SRC and is similarly inactive against G-protein-coupled receptors, ion channels, nuclear receptors and transporters. Thus, ABL001 has high selectivity.
In vivo
In the KCL-22 mouse xenograft model, ABL001 displays potent anti-tumor activity with complete tumor regression observed and a clear dose-dependent correlation with pSTAT5 inhibition. ABL001 has moderate oral absorption, volume of distribution and half-life across all species. It as a single agent induces clinical anti-tumour activity and is well tolerated to date in a heavily pre-treated subgroup of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. As for the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of ABL001, The CL (clearance) are 12, 16 and 6 mL/min/kg in mice, rats and dogs after a sigle iv dose of 1mg/kg, 2mg/kg and 1mg/kg, respectively. In mouse and dog, the T1/2term are 1.1 and 3.7 h after a single i.v. dose at 1 mg/kg. In Rat, theT1/2term is 2.7 h after a single i.v. dose at 2 mg/kg. The oral bioavailability of ABL001 in mouse and rat are 35% and 27% respectively when dosed at 30 mg/kg p.o. While in dogs the oral BA of ABL001 is 111% (15 mg/kg, p.o).
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aromatic anilides. These are aromatic compounds containing an anilide group in which the carboxamide group is substituted with an aromatic group. They have the general structure RNC(=O)R', where R= benzene, and R = aryl group.
