De novoGBM tumorigenesis is initiated in LSL-FIG-ROS1;Cdkn2a−/−;LSL-Luc mice through intracranial stereotactic injections of Adeno-Cre as described previously. Tumor development is monitored using BLI as described below. Once tumors reach a given size (107 p-1·s-1·cm-2·sr-1), animals are randomLy enrolled into vehicle control or 3-, 7-, or 14-d treatment with the indicated doses of Lorlatinib. Drug is administered through s.c. implanted Alzet osmotic pumps. After treatment, mice are killed, GBM tumors are microdissected, and tissues are flash-frozen in liquid N2. The remaining brains are processed for histology. In rats, PF-06463922 displays low plasma clearance, a moderate volume of distribution, a reasonable half-life, low propensity for p-glycoprotein 1-mediated efflux and a bioavailability of 100%. In vivo, PF-06463922 shows cytoreductive antitumor efficacy in the NIH3T3 xenograft models expressing human CD74-ROS1 and Fig-ROS1 via inhibition in ROS1 phosphorylation and the downstream signaling molecules, as well as inhibition of the cell cycle protein Cyclin D1 in tumors. In vivo, PF-06463922 also demonstrates marked antitumor activity in mice bearing tumor xenografts expressing EML4-ALK, EML4-ALK-L1196M, EML4-ALK-G1269A, EML4-ALK-G1202R or NPM-ALK.

Microfluidic mobility shift assay is used to measure kinase activity in recombinant human wild-type and mutant ALK kinase domain proteins (amino acids 1093–1411), which are produced in-house via baculoviral expression and autophosphorylation with MgATP. The reactions contained 3 μM 5-FAM-KKSRGDYMTMQIG-CONH2), 5 mM MgCl2, 1.3 nM wild-type ALK or 0.5 nM mutant ALK (suitable to produce 15-20% phosphorylation of peptide substrate after 1 hour of reaction), and the Kmlevel of ATP in 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.1. The results of kinetic and crystallographic investigations demonstrate that the inhibitors are ATP-competitive. Fitting the conversion (%) to a competitive inhibition equation yields the Kivalues. The procedure for assaying ROS1 enzyme is the same as that for ALK, with the exception that 0.25 nM recombinant human ROS1 catalytic domain (amino acids 1883-2347) is used. A 206-kinase panel is utilized to assess the selectivity of kinase inhibitors.

In 96-well plates, cells are sown in growth medium with 10% FBS, and they are incubated at 37°C for the entire night. The cells are incubated at 37°C for 72 hours after serial dilutions of Lorlatinib or suitable controls are added to the assigned wells the following day. To ascertain the relative cell numbers, a CellTiter-Glo assay is conducted. A four-parameter analytical method is used to fit a concentration-response curve and determine IC50 values.

In LSL-FIG-ROS1;Cdkn2a−/−;LSL-Luc mice, de novoGBM tumorigenesis is induced by intracranial stereotactic injections of Adeno-Cre, as previously reported. BLI is used to track the development of tumors as will be discussed below. Animals are randomly assigned to either vehicle control or 3-, 7-, or 14-day treatments with the prescribed doses of lerlatinib once tumors reach a specific size (107 p -1·s -1·cm -2·sr -1). The medication is delivered via s.c. implanted Alzet osmotic pumps. Following therapy, GBM tumors are microdissected, tissues are flash-frozen in liquid N2, and mice are killed. For histology, the remaining brains are processed.

Although crizotinib demonstrates robust efficacy in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small-cell lung carcinoma patients, progression during treatment eventually develops. Resistant patient samples revealed a variety of point mutations in the kinase domain of ALK, including the L1196M gatekeeper mutation. In addition, some patients progress due to cancer metastasis in the brain. Using structure-based drug design, lipophilic efficiency, and physical-property-based optimization, highly potent macrocyclic ALK inhibitors were prepared with good absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), low propensity for p-glycoprotein 1-mediated efflux, and good passive permeability. These structurally unusual macrocyclic inhibitors were potent against wild-type ALK and clinically reported ALK kinase domain mutations. Significant synthetic challenges were overcome, utilizing novel transformations to enable the use of these macrocycles in drug discovery paradigms. This work led to the discovery of 8k (PF-06463922), combining broad-spectrum potency, central nervous system ADME, and a high degree of kinase selectivity.[1]

The oncogenic ROS1 gene fusion (Fig-ROS1) was first identified in glioblastoma cells over two decades ago. Recently, ROS1 gene rearrangements were further discovered in a variety of human cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, angiosarcoma, and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, providing additional evidence for ROS1 as an attractive cancer target. The 1st generation Met/ALK/ROS1 inhibitor XALKORI ® (crizotinib) has demonstrated promising clinical response in ROS1 fusion positive NSCLC. But similar to what was seen with acquired ALK secondary resistant mutations in XALKORI refractory patients, a ROS1 kinase domain mutant–ROS1G2032R has been identified in a ROS1 positive NSCLC patient who developed resistance to XALKORI. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop agents that can overcome this type of resistance. PF-06463922 is a novel, orally available, ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of ROS1/ALK with exquisite potency against ROS1 kinase. PF-06463922 inhibited the catalytic activity of recombinant ROS1 with a mean Ki of < 0.005 nM, and inhibited ROS1 autophosphorylation at IC50 values ranging from 0.1 nM to 1 nM cross a panel of cell lines harboring oncogenic ROS1 fusion variants including CD74-ROS1, SLC34A2-ROS1 and Fig-ROS1. PF-06463922 also inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis at sub- to low-nanomolar concentrations in the HCC78 human NSCLC cells harboring SLC34A2-ROS1 fusions and the BaF3-CD74-ROS1 cells expressing human CD74-ROS1. In the BaF3 cells engineered to express the XALKORI resistant CD74-ROS1G2032R mutant, PF-06463922 demonstrated nanomolar potency against either ROS1G2032R cellular activity or cell proliferation. In vivo, PF-06463922 demonstrated marked cytoreductive antitumor efficacy at low nanomolar concentration in the NIH3T3 xenograft models expressing human CD74-ROS1 and Fig-ROS1. The antitumor efficacy of PF-06463922 was dose dependent and strongly correlated to inhibition in ROS1 phosphorylation and the downstream signaling molecules pSHP1, pSHP2 and pErk1/2, as well as inhibition of the cell cycle protein Cyclin D1 in tumors. To our knowledge, PF-06463922 is the first reported ROS1 inhibitor that is capable of blocking the resistant ROS1G2032R mutant at predicted pharmacologically relevant concentrations. Our data indicate that PF-06463922 has great potential for treating ROS1 fusion positive cancers including those from patients who relapsed from XALKORI therapy due to acquired ROS1G2032Rmutation.[2]
