Lorlatinib (PF-6463922) is an orally available, ATP-competitive inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and C-ros oncogene 1 (Ros1), with potential antineoplastic activity.

ROS1:<0.02 nM(Ki), ALK:<0.07 nM(Ki), TYK1/LTK:2.7 nM, ALK (L1196M):0.07 nM(Ki), FER:3.3 nM

Methods: Add Lorlatinib (5, 50, 500 nM) to BaF3/CD74-ROS1 (G2032R) cells and treat for 2 hours. Detect p-ROS1, p-SHP2, p-AKT, and p-ERK levels via Western blot.
Results: In cells expressing the G2032R resistance mutation, Lorlatinib (50 nM and 500 nM) effectively inhibited downstream signaling. [1]
Methods: SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells (hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model) were treated with Lorlatinib (1, 10 μmol/L) after 4 h of hypoxia. Cells were cultured for an additional 24 h post-treatment, and cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay.
Results: 1 μM lorlatinib significantly enhanced post-injury cell survival with protective effects, while 10 μM lorlatinib exhibited cytotoxic effects on normal cells. [2]

Methods: BaF3/CD74-ROS1 (G2032R) cells were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice. Following successful implantation, Lorlatinib (30 mg/kg) was administered orally via gavage once daily for 14 consecutive days.
Results: Lorlatinib at 30 mg/kg effectively inhibited tumor growth. [1]
Methods: SD rats received intraperitoneal injections of Lorlatinib (7 mg/kg), Borneol (250 mg/kg), or saline for 7 consecutive days. Following tail vein injection of EB, brain tissue was collected to measure EB content (spectrophotometry) and evaluate blue staining intensity in histological sections.
Results: Repeated Lorlatinib administration significantly increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. [2]

Recombinant human wild-type and mutant ALK kinase domain proteins (amino acids 1093–1411) are produced in-house using baculoviral expression, preactivated via autophosphorylation with MgATP, and assayed for kinase activity using a microfluidic mobility shift assay. The reactions contained 1.3 nM wild-type ALK or 0.5 nM mutant ALK (appropriate to produce 15-20% phosphorylation of peptide substrate after 1 h of reaction), 3 μM 5-FAM-KKSRGDYMTMQIG-CONH2), 5 mM MgCl2, and the Km level of ATP in 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.1. The inhibitors are shown to be ATP-competitive from kinetic and crystallographic studies. The Ki values are calculated by fitting the conversion (%) to a competitive inhibition equation. ROS1 enzyme is assayed as described above for ALK, except using 0.25 nM recombinant human ROS1 catalytic domain (amino acids 1883-2347). Kinase inhibitor selectivity is evaluated using a 206-kinase panel.

Cells are seeded in 96-well plates in growth medium containing 10% FBS and are cultured overnight at 37°C. The following day, serial dilutions of PF-06463922 or appropriate controls are added to the designated wells, and cells are incubated at 37°C for 72 h. A CellTiter-Glo assay is performed to determine the relative cell numbers. IC50 values are calculated by concentration-response curve fitting using a four-parameter analytical method.
