Acalabrutinib Usage And Synthesis

Description

Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a selective second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor with an IC50 of 3 nM, which prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway. ACP-196 has improved target specificity over ibrutinib with 323-, 94-, 19- and 9-fold selectivity over the other TEC kinase family members (ITK, TXK, BMX, and TEC, respectively) and no activity against EGFR.

Uses

Acalabrutinib, is an experimental anti-cancer drug and a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. This kinase transmits signals from B-cell Receptor (BCR), and thus any genetic BTK mutation causes B-Cell immunodeficiency. Therefore, BTK inhibitors targeting B-cell signaling has shown great promise for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Definition

ChEBI: Acalabrutinib is a member of the class of imidazopyrazines that is imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine substituted by 4-(pyridin-2-ylcarbamoyl)phenyl, (2S)-1-(but-2-ynoyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl, and amino groups at positions 1, 3 and 8, respectively. It is an irreversible second-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy. It has a role as an EC 2.7.10.2 (non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a secondary carboxamide, a member of benzamides, a member of pyridines, an aromatic amine, a pyrrolidinecarboxamide, an imidazopyrazine, a ynone and a tertiary carboxamide.

in vitro

In the in vitro signaling assay on primary human CLL cells, acalabrutinib inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream targets of ERK, IKB, and AKT. Acalabrutinib demonstrates higher selectivity for BTK with IC50 determinations on nine kinases with a cysteine residue in the same position as BTK. Importantly, unlike ibrutinib, acalabrutinib does not inhibit EGFR, ITK, or TEC. acalabrutinib has no effect on EGFR phosphorylation on tyrosine residues Y1068 and Y1173. Compared with ibrutinib, acalabrutinib has much higher IC50(>1000 nM) or virtually no inhibition on kinase activities of ITK, EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB4, JAK3, BLK, FGR, FYN, HCK, LCK, LYN, SRC, and YES1.

in vivo

Oral administration of ACP-196 in mice results in dose-dependent inhibition of anti-IgM-induced CD86 expression in CD19+ splenocytes with an ED50 of 0.34 mg/kg compared to 0.91 mg/kg for ibrutinib. A similar model is used to compare the duration of Btk inhibition after a single oral dose of 25 mg/kg. ACP-196 inhibits CD86 expression >90% at 3h postdose.
