CC-115 (hydrochloride)

Description

CC-115 hydrochloride is a potent and dual DNA-PK and mTOR kinase inhibitor with IC50s of 13 nM and 21 nM, respectively. CC-115 blocks both mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling.

CC-115 inhibits PC-3 cells proliferation with an IC50 of 138 nM. In a kinase selectivity assessment against a panel of 250 protein kinases at 3 μM, only one kinase other than mTOR kinase is identified with more than 50% inhibition (cFMS 57%, IC50=2.0 μM). Of the PI3K related kinases (PIKKs) tested, CC-115 proves to be equipotent against DNA PK (IC50=15 nM) and demonstrates 40 to >1000 fold selectivity against the remaining PIKKs tested; PI3K-alpha (IC50=0.85 μM), ATR (50% inhibition at 30 μM) and ATM (IC50>30 μM). The IC50 values for CC-115 are >10 μM against a panel of CYP enzymes and >33 μM for the hERG (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) ion channel. When screened in a single point assay at 10 μM against a Cerep receptor and enzyme panel only one target is inhibited >50% (PDE3, IC50=0.63 μM)[1].

CC-115 hydrochloride shows good in vivo PK profiles across multiple species with 53%, 76% and ~100% oral bioavailability in mouse, rat and dog, respectively. CC-115 is tested at lower doses of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg bid or 1 mg/kg qd, with observed corresponding tumor volume reductions of 46%, 57%, 66% and 57% respectively. CC-115 sustains inhibition though 24 hours. At the 1 mg/kg dose CC-115 shows significant inhibition at 1 and 3 hours, CC-115 demonstrating inhibition through 10 hours. CC-115 is evaluated using both once (qd) and twice (bid) daily dosing schedules[1].
