Abstract Purpose: The mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor (c-Met) receptor, also known as hepatocyte growth receptor (HGFR), controls morphogenesis, a process that is physiologically required for embryonic development and tissue repair. Aberrant c-Met activation associated with variety of human malignancies including cancers the lung, kidney, stomach, liver, brain. In this study, we investigated properties two novel compounds developed to selectively inhibit in antitumor therapeutic...
Tepotinib is an oral, potent, highly selective MET inhibitor. This first-in-man phase I trial investigated the MTD of tepotinib to determine recommended II dose (RP2D).Patients received orally according one three escalation regimens (R) on a 21-day cycle: R1, 30-400 mg once daily for 14 days; R2, 30-315 3 times/week; or R3, 300-1,400 daily. After two cycles, treatment could continue in patients with stable disease until progression unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was incidence...
The mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) is a receptor tyrosine kinase with hepatocyte growth (HGF) as its only high-affinity ligand. Aberrant activation of c-Met associated many human malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated the in vivo antitumor and antimetastatic efficacy inhibitor MSC2156119J (EMD 1214063) patient-derived tumor explants. BALB/c nude mice were inoculated MHCC97H cells or fragments 10 primary liver cancer explants selected...
Proteasomes are broadly expressed key components of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway containing catalytically active subunits (β1, β2, and β5). LMP7 (β5i) is a subunit immunoproteasome, an inducible isoform that predominantly in hematopoietic cells. Clinically effective pan-proteasome inhibitors for treatment multiple myeloma (MM) nonselectively target other constitutive proteasome immunoproteasome with comparable potency, which can limit therapeutic applicability these...
Abstract Large multifunctional peptidase 7 (LMP7/β5i/PSMB8) is a proteolytic subunit of the immunoproteasome, which predominantly expressed in normal and malignant hematolymphoid cells, including multiple myeloma, contributes to degradation ubiquitinated proteins. Described herein for first time preclinical profile M3258; an orally bioavailable, potent, reversible highly selective LMP7 inhibitor. M3258 demonstrated strong antitumor efficacy myeloma xenograft models, novel model human bone...
