Defactinib hydrochloride (C09-1126-252)

Defactinib hydrochloride (VS-6063 hydrochloride; PF 04554878 hydrochloride) is a novel FAK inhibitor, which inhibits FAK phosphorylation at the Tyr397 site in a time- and dose-dependent manner.In VitroDefactinib (VS-6063) inhibits FAK phosphorylation at the Tyr397 site in a time- and dose-dependent manner. RPPA data shows that Defactinib reduces levels of AKT and YB-1 in taxane-resistant cell lines. The expression of pFAK (Tyr397) is statistically significantly inhibited by Defactinib in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines. Defactinib inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) expression within 3 hours, with a gradual return of expression by 48 hours. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.In VivoDefactinib (VS-6063) doses of 25 mg/kg twice a day or greater statistically significantly inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) at 3 hours, with return of expression noted by 24 hours. Therefore, administration of Defactinib at 25 mg/kg twice a day is selected as the dosing schedule for subsequent therapy experiments. For therapy experiments, female nude mice bearing HeyA8 tumors in the peritoneal cavity are randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 per group): 1) vehicle orally twice daily and phosphate-buffered saline intraperitoneally weekly (control); 2) Defactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily; 3) PTX intraperitoneally weekly; and 4) both VDefactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily and PTX intraperitoneally weekly. There is an 87.4% reduction in tumor weight by PTX monotherapy in the HeyA8 model, and combination therapy resulted in the greatest tumor weight reduction, with a 97.9% reduction (P=0.05 compared with PTX). In the SKOV3ip1 model, a 92.7% tumor weight reduction is observed in the combination group compared with PTX (P<0.001) . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.Form:SolidIC50& Target:FAK. Specifications and Purity: 98%. Molecular Formula: C20H22ClF3N8O3S. Molecular Weight: 547. PubChem CID: 25117347.
