Abstract:

Aberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) activation is found across a diverse spectrum of malignancies, especially those lacking effective treatments. SOMCL-085 is a novel FGFR-dominant multi-target kinase inhibitor. Here, we explored the FGFR-targeting anticancer activity of SOMCL-085 both in vitro and in vivo. Among a panel of 20 tyrosine kinases screened, SOMCL-085 potently inhibited FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3 kinase activity, with IC50 values of 1.8, 1.9 and 6.9 nmol/L, respectively. This compound simultaneously inhibited the angiogenesis kinases VEGFR and PDGFR, but without obvious inhibitory effect on other 12 tyrosine kinases. In 3 representative human cancer cell lines with different mechanisms of FGFR activation tested, SOMCL-085 (20-500 nmol/L) dose-dependently inhibited FGFR1-3 phosphorylation and the phosphorylation of their key downstream effectors PLCγ and Erk. In 7 FGFR aberrant human cancer cell lines, regardless of the mechanistic complexity of FGFR over-activation, SOMCL-085 potently inhibited FGFR-driven cell proliferation by arresting cells at the G1/S phase. In the FGFR1-amplified lung cancer cell line H1581 xenograft mice and FGFR2-amplified gastric cancer cell line SNU16 xenograft mice, oral administration of SOMCL-085 (25, 50 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 21 days substantially suppressed tumor growth without affecting their body-weight. These results suggest that SOMCL-085 is a potent multi-target FGFR inhibitor that inhibits the FGFR-dependent neoplastic phenotypes of human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
