Biochem/physiol Actions
RPI-1 is a competitive, potent ATP-dependent Ret kinase inhibitor. Recently it was discover that the compound also inhibits c-Met. Increased tumorigenicity, motility, and invasiveness have been described as biological consequences of HGF/Met deregulation in tumor cells, thus not surprisingly RPI-1 treatment of H460 cells resulted in a strong reduction of both colony number and size (IC50 = 24.5 + 0.5 microM). Compound is also active at mouse NSCLC H460 xenograft tumor and metastasis model. Mechanistically RPI-1 inhibits Met phosphorylation at Tyr1234/Tyr1235, known to activate the intrinsic kinase activity. It appears that " Ret/ptc1 cross talks with Met at transcriptional and signaling levels and promotes ?-catenin transcriptional activity to drive thyrocyte neoplastic transformation". It appears that we do not have anything specific in Ret area. Handbook lists RPI-1 as Ret inhibitor. |
