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 MET inhibitor approved for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutations. Examining treatment-naive or tepotinib-resistant cells with amplification METex14 mutations identifies other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that co-exist in prior to tepotinib exposure and become more prominent upon resistance. In a small cohort of patients genetic alterations treated tepotinib, gene copy number gains RTKs were found at baseline...
Abstract Introduction M8891 is a selective and reversible inhibitor of methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2). We describe translational research to define the target pharmacokinetics (PK) associated pharmacodynamic (PD) levels, which were used support efficacious dose selection in humans. Methods In vitro vivo PK characteristics investigated animal species, data integrated using vitro–in correlation allometric methods predict clearance, volume distribution, absorption parameters parallel,...
Abstract N-terminal processing by methionine aminopeptidases (MetAP) is a crucial step in the maturation of proteins during protein biosynthesis. Small-molecule inhibitors MetAP2 have antiangiogenic and antitumoral activity. Herein, we characterize structurally novel inhibitor M8891. M8891 potent, selective, reversible small-molecule blocking growth human endothelial cells differentially inhibiting cancer cell growth. A CRISPR genome-wide screen identified tumor suppressor p53 MetAP1/MetAP2...
