Abstract JAK2V617F and MPLW515L/K represent recently identified mutations in
myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) that cause dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling, which is
implicated in MPD pathogenesis. We developed TG101209, an orally bioavailable small
molecule that potently inhibits JAK2 (IC 50= 6 n M), FLT3 (IC 50= 25 n M) and RET (IC 50=
17 n M) kinases, with significantly less activity against other tyrosine kinases including JAK3
(IC 50= 169 n M). TG101209 inhibited growth of Ba/F3 cells expressing JAK2V617F or …
Abstract
JAK2V617F and MPLW515L/K represent recently identified mutations in myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) that cause dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling, which is implicated in MPD pathogenesis. We developed TG101209, an orally bioavailable small molecule that potently inhibits JAK2 (IC 50= 6 n M), FLT3 (IC 50= 25 n M) and RET (IC 50= 17 n M) kinases, with significantly less activity against other tyrosine kinases including JAK3 (IC 50= 169 n M). TG101209 inhibited growth of Ba/F3 cells expressing JAK2V617F or MPLW515L mutations with an IC 50 of∼ 200 n M. In a human JAK2V617F-expressing acute myeloid leukemia cell line, TG101209-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and inhibited phosphorylation of JAK2V617F, STAT5 and STAT3. Therapeutic efficacy of TG101209 was demonstrated in a nude mouse model. Furthermore, TG101209 suppressed growth of hematopoietic colonies from primary progenitor cells harboring JAK2V617F or MPL515 mutations.
