| Description: |
CHZ868 is a type II JAK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.17 μM in EPOR JAK2 WT Ba/F3 cell. |
| In Vivo: |
CHZ868 is characterized by high passive permeability, good metabolic stability, and low water solubility, as well as by moderate blood clearance and good oral bioavailability, making it suitable for in vivo use. CHZ868 improves survival in mice with human or murine B-ALL. CHZ868 and dexamethasone synergistically induces apoptosis in JAK2-dependent B-ALLs and further improves survival compared to CHZ868 alone[2]. |
| In Vitro: |
CHZ868 is a type II JAK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.17 μM in EPOR JAK2 WT Ba/F3 cell. |
| Cell Assay: |
CHZ868 is dissolved in DMSO to make 10 mM stock solution and diluted in culture media. Cells are treated with CHZ868 (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μM) or vehicle (DMSO). After 48 hr (Ba/F3 cells) or 72 hr (MHH-CALL4 and PDX cells), CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay is added (10 μL undiluted or 25 μL of a 1:2 dilution in each well) and plates are read[2]. |
| Animal Administration: |
Mice: CHZ868 is reconstituted in 0.5% methylcellulose / 0.5% Tween-80 and administered at doses of 10 or 30 mg/kg/day by oral gavage. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and efficacy studies in the mouse model of rhEpo-induced polycythemia are carried out essentially as reported. Detection of STAT5 phosphorylation in spleen lysates by Meso Scale Discovery is performed[2]. |
