Axl-IN-21
Axl-IN-21 is an orally active and selective AXL inhibitor (Kd = 2.7 nM, IC50 = 4.0 nM). Axl-IN-21 displays kinase selectivity and retains strong activity against cancer-related mul-kinases (Mer with Kd = 1.4 nM, DDR1 with IC50 = 22.2 nM, HIPK4 with Kd = 11.0 nM and LOK with Kd =10 nM). Axl-IN-21 overcomes tumor microenvironment-driven resistance by blocking CAF-derived GAS6-induced AXL/STAT3/ABCG1 signaling, restoring chemosensitivity and inhibiting drug efflux in gastric cancer (GC). Axl-IN-21 suppresses TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion in MDA-MB-231 cells. Axl-IN-21 exhibits no significant cytotoxicity in non-cancerous cells. Axl-IN-21 can be research for triple negative breast cancer and gastric cancer[1] [2] .

Axl-IN-21 (compound 9im) (0.1-0.5 μM) dose-dependently inhibits AXL phosphorylation and reverses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (restoring E cadherin and reducing N cadherin expression) in SNU668 and MKN1 gastric cancer cells, even when co cultured with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), restores chemosensitivity by blocking CAF induced AXL activation and downstream signaling, although co culture with CAFs normally reduces apoptotic markers (cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase 3) following chemotherapy including 5-Fluorouracil (5 FU) (HY-90006) and cisplatin (HY-17394)[1].
Axl-IN-21 (0.5-32 μM) exhibits lower cytotoxicity in non-cancerous cells compared to BGB324 (HY-15150) [1].
Axl-IN-21 (0.1-0.5 μM) inhibits JAK1/STAT3, PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signalling pathways and reduces the CAF)-induced enhancement of cell migration in SNU668 cells co-cultured with CAFs, even in the presence of CAF-conditioned media or direct co-culture. [1].
Axl-IN-21 (0.5-2 μM) suppresses CAF-induced AXL activation, downstream signalling, GC cell migration and chemoresistance in inhibiting AXL phosphorylation in SNU668 cocultured with CAFs and/or treated with chemotherapeutic agents[1].
Axl-IN-21 (0.1-0.5 μM) suppresses both the upregulation of ABCG1 expression and the phosphorylation of AXL, JAK1/STAT3, PI3K/AKT, and MEK/ERK in AXL-activated GC SNU668 cells treated with recombinant GAS6[1].
Axl-IN-21 decreased ABCG1 expression and increased cleaved caspase-3 positive cells, indicating enhanced apoptosis when combinate with CAFs and 5-FU[1].
Axl-IN-21 (0.03-3 μM, 6 h) has strong Axl kinase inhibition in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells[2].
Axl-IN-21 (0.04-5 μM, 96-144 h) dose-dependently inhibits TGF-β1-induced Axl activation in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells[2].
Axl-IN-21 (0.04-5 μM, 24 h) inhibits the migrating process and invasiveness in MDA-MB-231 cells[2].
