UNC2025 (0-60 nM; 1 hour) mediates potent inhibition of Mer phosphorylation with an IC50 of 2.7 nM in 697 B-ALL cells[1]. UNC2025 (0-60 nM; 1 hour) results in decreased phosphorylation of Flt3 with an IC50 of 14 nM in Flt3-ITD positive Molm-14 acute myeloid leukemia cells[1].UNC2025 (3 nM-3 μM; 1 hour) decreases p-MEK, p-AXL, p-TYRO3 expression as a concentration manner in 32D Cells[1]. UNC2025 (14 nM-10 μM; 48 hours) inhibits MERTK signaling and colony-forming potential in a MERTK-expressing patient sample with a 20-fold difference in sensitivity of MERTK-expressing leukemia blasts relative to normal cord or marrow blood mononuclear cells[2].UNC2025 (25-300 nM; 1 hour) mediates potent and dose-dependent decreases in MERTK phosphorylation/activation in both cell lines and inhibition of MERTK correlated with decreased phosphorylation of previously reported MERTK-dependent signaling components STAT6, AKT, and ERK1/2[2].
