In vitro

Nemtabrutinib (ARQ 531) potently inhibited BTK (IC50 = 0.85 nM), with the binding potency accompanied by long residence time (51 min). It selectively inhibits BCR signaling dependent PI3K/AKT/mTOR, Ras/Raf/Erk and Rap-GTPase-Cofilin pathways in TMD8 cells.  In GCB-DLBCL cell lines (SUDHL-4 and DOHH-2), this compound potently suppressed expression of anti-apoptotic c-Myc and BCL6 oncoproteins in a dose dependent fashion, and concomitantly induced apoptotic cleavage of PARP protein.

In vivo

Nemtabrutinib (ARQ 531) has potent anti-tumor activity, as observed in both ABC-DLBCL and GCB-DLBCL mouse xenograft models. It crosses the blood-brain barrier. In a single oral dose study of 10mg/kg in monkeys, this compound demonstrated a bioavailability of 72.4%, with a Cmax of 9 μM and a half-life greater than 24 hours.
