MS4078 effectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation. MS4078 (10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 1 μM; 3 days) concentration-dependently inhibits proliferation of SU-DHL-1 cells with an IC50 of 33±1 nM. In comparison with SU-DHL-1 cells, the proliferation of NCI-H2228 cells is less sensitive to MS4078(10, 10, 10, 10, 1, 10 μM; 3 days).
MS4078 potently reduces the ALK fusion protein levels and inhibits the ALK auto-phosphorylation and down-steam STAT3 phosphorylation in both SU-DHL-1 and NCI-H2228 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In SU-DHL-1 cells, MS4078 reduces the NPM-ALK protein levels with impressive DC50 (50% degradation) value of 11±2 nM after 16-hour treatment. Over 90% of inhibition of both ALK Y1507 and STAT3 Y705 phosphorylation is achieved at the 100 nM concentration. In NCI-H2228 cells, MS4078 reduces the EML4-ALK protein levels with similar DC50 value of 59 ± 16 nM after 16-hour treatment. At the 100 nM concentration, NCI-H2228 cells reduces more than 90% of EML4-ALK protein levels.
