Product Description

Sotuletinib (formerly BLZ945; BLZ-945) is a novel, potent, selective, orally bioactive, and brain-penetrant CSF-1R (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. It exhibits 1000-fold higher selectivity against its closest receptor tyrosine kinase homologs and inhibits CSF-1R with an IC50 of 1 nM. Glioma-bearing mice demonstrate high in vivo antitumor efficaciousness of BLZ945. Sotuletinib was designated as an orphan drug by the US FDA in August 2022 in order to treat patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurological disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and results in loss of motor control.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CSF-1R (IC50 = 1 nM); c-Kit (IC50 = 3.2 μM); PDGFRβ (IC50 = 4.8 μM); Flt3 (IC50 = 9.1 μM)
ln Vitro
BLZ945 specifically reduces CSF-1R phosphorylation and inhibits CSF-1-dependent proliferation in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with an EC50 of 67nM. In order to promote tumorigenesis, BLZ945 inhibits the reciprocal effects that macrophages and glioma cells have on one another's survival, proliferation, and/or polarization.[1]
ln Vivo
BLZ945 inhibits CSF-1R to stop tumor growth and dramatically increase survival in mice with gliomas. Additionally, proneural tumor spheres and cell lines derived from patients are inhibited in vivo from growing orthotopically by BLZ945.[1] In both the mouse mammary tumor virus-driven polyomavirus middle T antigen (MMTV-PyMT) model of mammary carcinogenesis and the keratin 14-expressing human papillomavirus type 16 (K14-HPV-16) transgenic model of cervical carcinogenesis, BLZ945 (200 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits the growth of malignant cells.[2]
Enzyme Assay
BLZ945 is a potent, orally bioactive, and selective CSF-1R (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor) inhibitor with IC50 of 1 nM, it is more than 1000-fold selective against its closest receptor tyrosine kinase homologs.
Cell Assay
The MTT cell proliferation kit is used to calculate the rate of cell growth. In a nutshell, 96-well plates are used to plate cells in triplicate: 1 ×103 cells for glioma cell lines, 5 ×103 cells for BMDM and CRL-2467, and 2.5 ×103 cells for HUVEC and HBMEC cell lines. Every 48 hours, the media used in all experiments is changed. The cells are cultured with or without 8 μg/mL of CSF-1R neutralizing antibody or 6.7–6,700 nM of sotuletinib. PDGC lines are cultivated in the presence of 10,000 nM PTK787 or 10,000 nM STI571 (diluted from 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO) in order to test the sensitivity to PDGFR inhibition. ECGF supplied by the manufacturer is added to HUVEC and HBMEC cells, unless specified otherwise. With a plate reader and colorimetric analysis, the manufacturer's protocol is followed to detect the reduction of the MTT substrate. Before adding 100 μL of MTT solubilization reagent and letting it sit overnight at 37°C, 10 μL of MTT labeling reagent is added to each well and allowed to incubate for 4 hours. Utilizing a SpectraMax 340pc plate reader, the mixture is gently resuspended and absorbance is measured at 595 and 750 nm[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Volumes of tumors are measured with calipers using the following formula: volume=(width)2×length/2. 56–63 day old female mice are dosed with 200 mg/kg of sotuletinib or 20% Captisol vehicle in MMTV-PyMT mouse studies. The mice are randomized into groups according to the sizes of their tumors. Tumor volumes are measured twice a week, and the dosage is given orally via gavage once a day. Rat IgG control or 5A1 rat anti-mouse CSF1 neutralizing antibody is injected intraperitoneally every five days at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lungs in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice are serially sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin to determine pulmonary metastasis. Tumor regions are rated based on size (tumor diameter), tumor burden (total tumor area divided by total lung area), and the total number of individual metastases counted in a single-blind manner. To get the final value, these values are averaged over the whole lung depth.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
