Toceranib phosphate

Toceranib phosphate (PHA 291639 phosphate) is a selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of several members of the split kinase RTK family, including PDGFR and Flk-1/KDR, with K_is of 5 and 6 nM, respectively^[1].
To explore mechanisms of acquired Toceranib (TOC) resistance in canine MCT, three resistant sublines are generated from the Toceranib-sensitive exon 11 ITD c-kit mutant C2 cell line designated TR1, TR2, and TR3. Growth of the parental C2 cells is inhibited by Toceranib in a dose-dependent manner with an IC₅₀ of <10 nM. In contrast, TR1, TR2, and TR3 sublines are resistant to inhibition by Toceranib (IC₅₀> 1,000 nM). Sensitivity to three other KIT RTK inhibitors is similar to the observed resistance to Toceranib. The parental line as well as all three sublines retains sensitivity to the cytotoxic agents vinblastine (VBL) and CCNU. Following 72 hr culture in the presence of increasing concentrations of Toceranib, treatment na ve, parental C2 cells detach from the culture flask and become rounded, shrunken, and clumped with increased exposure to Toceranib. In contrast, Toceranib-induced morphologic differences are not identified in the resistant sublines^[2].
