DCC-2036

Biological Activity

DCC-2036, known as the lead "switch-control" inhibitor, potently inhibits both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated ABL1 by inducing a type II inactive conformation, and retains efficacy against the majority of clinically relevant CML-resistance mutants, including T315I. DCC-2036 inhibits BCR-ABL1 (T315I)-expressing cell lines, prolongs survival in mouse models of T315I mutant CML and B-lymphoblastic leukemia, and inhibits primary patient leukemia cells expressing T315I in vitro and in vivo, supporting its clinical development in TKI-resistant Ph (+) leukemia.

Protocol

Cell Experiment
Cell lines	Ba/F3 cells or primary Ph+ leukemia cells
Preparation method	Cell Proliferation Assays Ba/F3 cells (3×103 cells/well) or primary Ph+ leukemia cells (5×104 cells/well) were plated in triplicate in 96-well plates containing test compounds. After 72h, viable cells were quantified by resazurin (O’Brien et al., 2000) or MTT (Roumiantsev et al., 2002) assay as described. Results represent an average of at least three independent experiments.
Concentrations	0.1~10 mM
Incubation time	72 h

Animal Experiment
Animal models	Allograft and retroviral BM transduction/transplantation mouse models of BCR-ABL1-induced leukemia
Formulation	0.5% CMC/1% Tween-80
Dosages	100 mg/kg once daily
Administration	oral gavage

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (Value based on data from FDA Draft Guidelines)

Species	Mouse	Rat	Rabbit	Guinea pig	Hamster	Dog
Weight (kg)	0.02	0.15	1.8	0.4	0.08	10
Body Surface Area (m2)	0.007	0.025	0.15	0.05	0.02	0.5
Km factor	3	6	12	8	5	20

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by	Animal B Km
	Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of resveratrol used for a mouse (22.4 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 22.4 mg/kg by the K_m factor for a mouse and then divide by the K_m factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for resveratrol of 11.2 mg/kg.
