Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) is an inhibitor of Src that targets the peptide substrate site of Src, with GI50 of 9-60 nM in cancer cell lines. IC50 & Target: GI50: 9 nM (Src, in HuH7 cells), 13 nM (Src, in PLC/PRF/5 cells), 26 nM (Src, in Hep3B cells), 60 nM (Src, in HepG2 cells)[1] In Vitro: Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) is a Src inhibitor that is directed to the Src substrate pocket. Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) shows steep dose-response curves against Huh7 (GI50=9 nM), PLC/PRF/5 (GI50=13 nM), Hep3B (GI50=26 nM), and HepG2 (GI50=60 nM), four hepatic cell cancer (HCC) cell lines[1]. Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) is found to inhibit certain leukemia cells that are resistant to current commercially available drugs, such as those derived from chronic leukemia cells with the T3151 mutation. Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) is evaluated in engineered Src driven cell growth assays inNIH3T3/c-Src527F and SYF/c-Src527F cells and exhibits GI50 with 23 nM and 39 nM, respectively[2]. In Vivo: Orally administered Tirbanibulin (KX2-391) is shown to inhibit primary tumor growth and to suppress metastasis, in pre-clinical animal models of cancer[2]. |
