Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Axl [1]
(Cell-free assay)
14 nM
In vitro
Bemcentinib (R428) blocks the catalytic and procancerous activities of Axl. It inhibits Axl with low nanomolar activity and blocks Axl-dependent events, including Akt phosphorylation, breast cancer cell invasion, and proinflammatory cytokine production. [1] In a recent study, this compound shows a mean IC50 dose of ∼ 2.0μM for the primary CLL B cells after 24 hours of treatment and normal B-, T-, and natural killer (NK) cells show no significant amount of cell death at this dose of R428 (2.5 μM) under similar experimental conditions. [2]
In vivo
Pharmacologic investigations reveal favorable exposure after oral administration of Bemcentinib (R428), such that treated tumors display a dose-dependent reduction in expression of the cytokine granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcriptional regulator Snail. In support of an earlier study, it inhibits angiogenesis in corneal micropocket and tumor models. This compound also reduces metastatic burden and extends survival in MDA-MB-231 intracardiac and 4T1 orthotopic (median survival, >80 days compared with 52 days; P < 0.05) mouse models of breast cancer metastasis.
