[CAS NO. 1952251-28-3]  TAK-659

In a cell proliferation assay, TAK-659 shows inhibition toward a SYK-dependent cell line (OCI-LY10). the sensitivity to TAK-659 is associated with mutations impacting SYK activity in B cell lymphomas, whereas TAK-659 is not cytotoxic for adherent primary or solid tumor cell lines. In cell viability assays, TAK-659 is shown to be sensitive toward FLT3-ITD dependent cell lines, MV4-11 and MOLM-13 while the WT FLT3 RS4-11 (ALL cell line) and RA1 (Burkitt's Lymphoma cell line) are not sensitive toward TAK-659. In cultured human tumor cells, TAK-659 potently inhibits the growth of hematopoietic-derived cell lines, with a concentration producing half-maximal response (EC50) ranging from 11 to 775 nM in sensitive cell systems (eg, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and AML). In a broad kinase panel, TAK-659 demonstrates a more than 50-fold selectivity for SYK and FLT-3 over 290 other protein kinases. Treatment with TAK-659 inhibits Syk activation and BCR signaling in co-cultured primary CLL cells and Burkitt's lymphoma cells. In primary CLL cells in suspension culture, TAK-659 treatment results in a dose-dependent reduction in the phosphorylation of SykTyr525, Btk, NFκB, ERK1/2 and STAT3 after BCR stimulation. Inhibition of Syk by TAK-659 induces apoptosis of CLL cells and abrogates BCR and co-culture-derived survival signals. TAK-659 inhibits chemotaxis toward BMSC, CXCL12 and CXCL13 in primary CLL cells, and abrogates microenvironment-induced chemoresistance. TAK-659 does not inhibit TCR signaling and molecular features of T cell activation in primary T cells from patients with CLL.
