Description: Tucatinib, also known as Irbinitinib, ARRY-380 and ONT-380, is a n orally bioavailable inhibitor of the human epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB-2 (also called HER2) with potential antineoplastic activity. ErbB-2 inhibitor ARRY-380 selectively binds to and inhibits the phosphorylation of ErbB-2, which may prevent the activation of ErbB-2 signal transduction pathways, resulting in growth inhibition and death of ErbB-2-expressing tumor cells. ErbB-2 is overexpressed in a variety of cancers and plays an important role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.

| Biological target: | HER2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 8 nM |
| In vitro activity: | To investigate the effects of tucatinib on leukemia cells, MTT assays were subsequently performed to determine the cytotoxicity of tucatinib on 2 leukemia cell lines. As shown in Fig. 1B and C, >80% of the HL60/ABCG2 and K562/ABCG2 ABCG2-overexpressing cell lines, and their parental cell lines, HL60 and K562, survived 0.4 µM tucatinib treatment. Therefore, 0.4 µM tucatinib was selected as the maximum working concentration for further experiments. Subsequently, whether tucatinib, at various concentrations, could increase the sensitivity of ABCG2-overexpressing leukemia drug resistant cells to mitoxantrone and topotecan was investigated. As shown in Tables I and andII,II, the ABCG2-overexpressing HL60/ABCG2 and K562/ABCG2 cell lines showed higher IC50 values to the ABCG2 substrates, mitoxantrone and topotecan compared with that in their parental cell lines, respectively. In the presence of 0.1 and 0.2 µM tucatinib, there was a significant increase in sensitivity of the cell lines to the two drugs. Tucatinib (0.4 µM) further increased the sensitivity of leukemia cells to the two drugs in both the ABCG2-overexpressing HL60/ABCG2 and K562/ABCG2 cell lines, and its efficacy was comparable to that of the known ABCG2 inhibitor, FTC (2.5 µM). Conversely, tucatinib did not significantly alter the IC50 value of cisplatin in all the leukemia cell lines, which is a non-ABCG2 substrate. Taken together, these results suggested that tucatinib may significantly sensitize ABCG2-overexpressing leukemia cells to become anti-neoplastic.

| In vivo activity: | The ability of tucatinib to prevent tumor cell growth in vivo was investigated in HER2+ breast and gastric cancer CDX xenograft models. Female immunocompromised mice implanted with BT-474 cells were treated with tucatinib and evaluated for response. Mice treated with tucatinib exhibited tumor growth delay at doses of 25 or 50 mg/kg tucatinib administered orally every day. This effect was similar to mice treated with trastuzumab monotherapy (Fig. 4A). In contrast, mean tumor volume (MTV) increased > 4-fold in mice treated with vehicle (Fig. 4A).
