Larotrectinib (LOXO-101) is an ATP-competitive oral inhibitor of the tropomyosin-related kinase (TRK) family of receptor kinases (TRKA, B, and C), with low nanomolar 50% inhibitory concentrations against all three isoforms, and 1,000-fold or greater selectivity relative to other kinases[1][2]. Measurement of proliferation following treatment with Larotrectinib (LOXO-101) demonstrates a dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation in all three cell lines. The IC50 is less than 100 nM for CUTO-3.29 and less than 10 nM for KM12 and MO-91 consistent with the known potency of this drug for the TRK kinase family[3].

Protocol
Mice[4]
Athymic nude mice are used throughout the study. 5×105 KM12 cells are injected subcutaneously into the dorsal flank area of the mice. Tumor volume is monitored by direct measurement with calipers and calculated by the formula: length × (width2)/2. Following the establishment of tumor and when the tumor size is between 150-200 mm2, mice are randomly selected to receive diluent, 60 mg/kg/dose or 200 mg/kg/dose of Larotrectinib (LOXO-101). Larotrectinib (LOXO-101) is administered by oral gavage once daily for 14 days. After the last dose, tissue and blood are collected at 3, 6 and 24 hours post-treatment[4].
