FN-1501  (Synonyms: LT-171-861)

The activity of the CDKs and FLT3 are assayed in reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/mL BSA, 0.1 mM Na₃VO₄, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO) at room temperature at a final ATP concentration of 10 mM. Then FLT3, dissolved in 100% DMSO at the indicated doses, are delivered into the kinase reaction mixture by acoustic technology and incubated for 20 min at room temperature. After 10 μM [γ-³³P] ATP (specific activity 10 Ci/μL) is added to initiate the reaction, the reactions are carried out at 25°C for 120 min. The kinase activities are detected by the filterbinding method. IC₅₀ values and curve fits are obtained by Prism^[1].

The human AML cell line MV4-11 is cultured in IMDM media with 10% FBS and supplemented with 2% l-glutamine and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The MV4-11 cell line is maintained in culture media at 37°C with 5% CO₂. The effects of FN-1501 on MV4-11 proliferation are performed. Cells are cultured in 96-well culture plates (10 000 cells/well). FN-1501 at various concentrations is added to the plates. Cell proliferation is determined after treatment with FN-1501 for 72 h. Cell viability is measured using the CellTiter-Glo assay, and luminescence is measured in a multilabel reader. Data are normalized to control groups (DMSO) and represented as the means of three independent measurements with standard errors of <20%. IC₅₀ values are calculated using Prism 5.0^[1].

Mice^[1]
Six-week-old female nu/nu mice are housed in a specific pathogen-free facility. Prior to implantation, cells are harvested during exponential growth. Five million MV4-11 cells in PBS are formulated as a 1:1 mixture with a Matrigel and injected into the subcutaneous space on the right flank of each nu/nu mouse. Daily intravenous injections are initiated when MV4-11 tumors have reached sizes of 100-200 mm³. The animals are then randomized into treatment groups of 8 mice each for the efficacy studies and dosed with FN-1501 (0, 15, 30, or 40 (mg/kg)/d) or cytarabine (50 (mg/kg)/d). The compounds (FN-1501, etc.) are dissolved in a solution of PEG400 (25%), ethanol (3.7%), glucose (5%), and acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5, 7.5%). Tumor growth is measured every 3 days using Vernier calipers for the duration of the treatment. The volume is calculated as follows: tumor volume = a × b²/2, where a is the long diameter, and b is the short diameter. The percentage of tumor-growth inhibition (GI) is calculated as follows: GI = 100% × {1 - [(tumor volumefinal - tumor volumeinitial for the compound-treated group)/(tumor volumefinal - tumor volumeinitial for the vehicle-treated group)]}. The percent tumor regression (PTR) is calculated as follows: PTR = 100% × (tumor volumeinitial - tumor volumefinal)/(tumor volumeinitial)^[1].
