KL-50
Based on 1 Customer Validation
KL-50 is an orally active N3-(2-fluoroethyl) imidazotetrazine DNA alkylating agent with selectivity for MGMT-deficient cells. KL-50 introduces a 2-fluoroethyl group at the O6 position of guanine, forming O6-(2-fluoroethyl) guanine (O6FEtG) lesions and further generating DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). KL-50 induces DNA double-strand breaks, activates ATR-CHK1 and ATM-CHK2 DNA damage responses, and causes cell cycle arrest and micronucleus formation. KL-50 can be used for glioblastoma and DNA damage response research.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
KL-50 (4a) (200 μM; 2-24 h) produces time-dependent DNA interstrand crosslinks in MGMT−/MMR− LN229 cells, with DNA migration in the IR-modified comet assay significantly decreasing from 8 h and showing the greatest change at 8-24 h[1].
KL-50 (20 μM; 2-48 h) activates CHK1/CHK2-related DNA damage response in MGMT-deficient LN229 cells and induces γH2AX, 53BP1, and pRPA DNA damage foci; this response is independent of MMR status[1].
KL-50 (10-500 μM; 5 days) produces cytotoxic activity in post-TMZ, MMR-deficient GBM6R-m185 cells with a cell-death IC50 of 9.4 μM[2].
KL-50 (10-500 μM; 5 days) reduces the number of viable GBM6R-m185 cells, with a live-cell-count IC50 of 6.6 μM[2].
KL-50 (10-500 μM; 5 days) exhibits cell-death IC50 values of 27.2 μM (MMR+) and 13 μM (MMR−) in GBM6 cells, and 53.1 μM (MMR+) and 9.4 μM (MMR−) in GBM12 cells, indicating that MSH6 loss does not confer KL-50 tolerance[2].
KL-50 (10-500 μM; 5 days) exhibits live-cell-count IC50 values of 7.4 μM (MMR+) and 6.5 μM (MMR−) in GBM6 cells, and 9.7 μM (MMR+) and 8.5 μM (MMR−) in GBM12 cells[2].
KL-50 (compound 1) (30 or 200 μM) selectively inhibits the long-term survival of MGMT-deficient cells in clonogenic assays using isogenic LN229 GBM cells; at 30 μM, the surviving fractions of MGMT−/MMR+ and MGMT−/MMR− cells are 6.3 × 10−4 and 4.0 × 10−5, respectively, whereas MGMT+ cells show only approximately 60-70% cell kill at 200 μM[3].
KL-50 (91 nM-200 μM; 7 doses) exhibits MGMT expression-dependent differences in cell viability in the PRISM screen of 902 human cancer cell lines, with MGMT expression positively correlating with cell viability, and MGMT expression is the most prominent determinant of sensitivity in this screen[3].
KL-50 (200 μM; 24 h) reduces the %DNA in tail in the modified alkaline comet assay only in MGMT−/MMR± LN229 cells, supporting that KL-50 forms DNA ICLs in the MGMT-deficient background[3].
KL-50 (1 mM; 5 or 72 h) forms O6FEtdG in calf thymus DNA at both 5 h and 72 h, whereas [dG (N1)-dC (N3)]Et ICL is detected only at 72 h, supporting a mechanism in which O6FEtG forms first and is slowly converted to DNA ICL[3].
KL-50 (200, 500 μM; 8 h) does not form detectable DNA-MGMT cross-links in MGMT+ DLD1 cells, consistent with its lower cross-linking damage in the MGMT-positive background[3].
KL-50 (20 μM; 2-48 h) progressively induces G2 phase arrest from 24-48 h in MGMT−/MMR+ LN229 cells, whereas G2 phase arrest is attenuated in MGMT−/MMR− cells[1].
KL-50 (50 μM; 5 days) induces DNA double-strand break-related p-H2AX and p-p95 signals in both MMR-proficient and MSH6-KO GBM6 and GBM12 cells[2].

In Vivo
KL-50 (10 mg/kg; oral gavage; 3 consecutive weeks; starting on day 11 post-engraftment) extends the median survival of intracranial GBM6 PDX NSG mice to 57 days, compared with 32.5 and 34 days for the vehicle and 4 Gy RT groups, respectively[2].

KL-50 (10 mg/kg; oral gavage; 3 consecutive weeks; starting on day 11 post-engraftment) extends the median survival of post-TMZ, MMR-deficient GBM6R-m185 intracranial PDX NSG mice to 140 days, compared with 37 and 108 days for the vehicle and TMZ groups, respectively[2].
KL-50 (25-200 mg/kg; single dose) causes >10% body weight loss at 100 and 200 mg/kg in healthy mice, recovering to baseline after approximately 1 week; 2 of 3 mice in the 200 mg/kg group show marked intolerance, whereas blood cell counts reveal no significant toxic changes[1].
