Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) BTK inhibitor

Cat.No.S8116

Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a selective second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor with an IC50 of 3 nM, which prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. This compound has improved target specificity with 323-, 94-, 19- and 9-fold selectivity over the other TEC kinase family members (ITK, TXK, BMX, and TEC, respectively) and no activity against EGFR.

3nM
In vitro

In the in vitro signaling assay on primary human CLL cells, Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream targets of ERK, IKB, and AKT. It demonstrates higher selectivity for BTK with IC50 determinations on nine kinases with a cysteine residue in the same position as BTK. This compound has no effect on EGFR phosphorylation on tyrosine residues Y1068 and Y1173. 

In vivo

A similar model is used to compare the duration of Btk inhibition after a single oral dose of 25 mg/kg of Acalabrutinib (ACP-196), which inhibits CD86 expression >90% at 3h postdose.
