LDC1267 is a excellently specific TAM(Tyro3, Axl and Mer) kinase inhibitor, for Mer( IC50<5 nM), Tyro3(IC50=8 nM), and Axl(IC50=29 nM).

In mice bearing B16F10 melanoma, intraperitoneal injection of LDC1267 (20 mg/kg) exhibits high safety and is capable of inhibiting tumor metabolism and enhancing the activity of anti-metastatic NK cells.

In various cell lines, LDC1267 exhibits inhibition of cellular proliferation with an IC50 >5 μM. Moreover, in NKG2D-activated NK cells, LDC1267 can block the inhibitory effect induced by Gas6 stimulation.

Kinase binding assays: For optimization of Axl/TAM receptor inhibitors, an Axl binding assay is established (HTRF method; Kinase tracer 236). This assay is based on the binding and displacement of the Alexa Fluor 647-labelled Kinase tracer 236 to each glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged kinase used in the binding assay. Binding of the tracer to the kinase was detected by using europium (Eu)-labelled anti-GST antibodies. Simultaneous binding of both the fluorescent tracer and the Eu-labelled antibodies to the GST-tagged kinase generates a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal. Binding of inhibitor to the kinase competes for binding with the tracer, resulting in a loss of the FRET signal. For the assay, the compound is diluted in 20?mM HEPES, pH?8.0, 1?mM DTT, 10?mM MgCl2 and 0.01% Brij35. Then, the kinase of interest (5?nM final concentration), fluorescent tracer (15?nM final concentration) and LanthaScreen Eu-anti-GST antibody (2?nM final concentration) are mixed with the respective compound dilutions (from 5?nM to 10?μM) and incubated for 1?h. The FRET signal is quantified using an EnVision Multilabellreader 2104.

After incubation for 72?hours with LDC1267, CellTiterGlow reagent is used to determine the proliferation relative to the corresponding DMSO control.(Only for Reference)
