体外活性：AZD6738 是一种口服的基于吗啉代嘧啶的选择性 ATR（共济失调毛细血管扩张和 rad3 相关）激酶抑制剂，IC50 为 1 nM。 ATR是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶，在多种癌细胞中表达上调，在DNA修复、细胞周期进程和生存中发挥关键作用；它是由 DNA 复制相关压力期间造成的 DNA 损伤激活的。 AZD6738 具有潜在的抗肿瘤活性。通过口服途径给药后，AZD6738 通过阻断丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶 CHK1 的下游磷酸化来选择性抑制 ATR 活性，从而阻止 ATR 介导的信号传导，并导致 DNA 损伤检查点激活的抑制、DNA 损伤修复的破坏，以及诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡。在能够复制的体外模型中，开始 AZD6738 治疗后 70 小时以上，γH2AX 信号持续存在。复制叉停滞可能会破坏 DNA 双链断裂的形成和共济失调毛细血管扩张突变 (ATM) 激酶的激活。作为跨癌细胞系组的单一药物，AZD6738 具有活性。在缺乏 ATM 通路的细胞系中，AZD6738 的敏感性增强。激酶测定：AZD6738 是 ATR 激酶活性的有效抑制剂，对分离的酶的 IC50 为 0.001 μM，对细胞中 ATR 激酶依赖性 CHK1 磷酸化的 IC50 为 0.074 μM。细胞测定：AZD6738 以 30 mM 溶解在 DMSO 中，并在 DMSO 中稀释至所需的工作浓度。对于 AZD6738 剂量反应实验，所有条件和对照的培养基中最终 DMSO 浓度为 0.1%，对于 AZD6738 + 化疗活力实验为 0.05%，对于涉及 0.3 μM 和 1.0 μM 剂量 AZD6738 的所有实验为 0.025%。

在 ATM 缺乏但 ATM 不充分的体内模型中，单独使用 AZD6738 治疗可在等效的耐受剂量下显着抑制肿瘤的活性。电离辐射 (IR) 是一种 DNA 损伤诱导剂。当AZD6738和IR一起使用时，观察到消退或抗肿瘤生长抑制活性。在肿瘤组织中，AZD6738 与持续的 γH2AX 染色增加相关。在正常肠道组织或骨髓中，AZD6738 治疗仅短暂增加 γH2AX 染色。

AZD6738 是 ATR 激酶活性的有效抑制剂，对分离酶的 IC50 为 0.001 μM，对依赖 ATR 激酶的细胞中 CHK1 磷酸化的 IC50 为 0.074 μM。 ATR和ATM是DNA损伤信号激酶，可磷酸化数千种底物。ATR激酶活性在受损的复制叉和切除的DNA双链断裂（DSBs）处增加。在DSBs处ATM激酶活性增加。ATM已被广泛研究，因为不表达ATM蛋白的共济失调毛细血管扩张症患者是确定的最具放射敏感性的患者。由于ATM不是必需的蛋白质，人们普遍认为ATM激酶抑制剂在临床上会有很好的耐受性。ATR已经被广泛研究，但由于发现ATR是一种必需蛋白，并且人们普遍认为ATR激酶抑制剂在临床上是有毒的，因此进展变得复杂。

Ceralasertib (AZD6738) 溶解至 30 mM 浓度后，在 DMSO 中稀释至适当的工作浓度。对于 Ceralasertib (AZD6738) 剂量反应实验，所有条件和对照的培养基中最终 DMSO 浓度为 0.1%；对于 Ceralasertib (AZD6738) + 化疗活力实验，为 0.05%；对于所有涉及 0.3 μM 和 1.0 μM 剂量的 Ceralasertib (AZD6738) 的实验，该比例为 0.025%[1]。

Mice: Ceralasertib (AZD6738) is diluted 1:5 in propylene glycol after being dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 25 mg/mL or 50 mg/mL. Ceralasertib (AZD6738) is given orally as a gavage for 14 days at a dose of 25 mg/kg (H23) or 50 mg/kg (H460). 10 mL/kg is the dosage volume.[1].

Female athymic nude (Foxn1nu) mice, 6–7 weeks old, were purchased from Harlan Laboratories. H23 (3 × 106 cells) or H460 (7 × 105 cells) were injected subcutaneously into the right hind flank in a volume of 100 μL (equal parts 1x PBS and Matrigel). Cells were tested for mycoplasma prior to inoculation in mice. Mice began receiving treatment once tumors reached approximately 220 mm3 (± 15%) for H23 or 180 mm3 (± 15%) for H460. Tumor volume was calculated as (L × W2)/2. AZD6738 was administered by oral gavage (qd × 14) at 25 mg/kg (H23) or 50 mg/kg (H460). Cisplatin was administered intraperitoneally (q7d × 2) at 3 mg/kg. The dosing volume was 10 mL/kg. Growth curves depict mean (± SEM) tumor volume over time. Mean tumor growth inhibition was calculated as TGI = (1–(Tf–T0)/(Cf–C0))*100, where Tf and T0 represent final and initial mean tumor volumes in the treatment arm, respectively, and Cf and C0 represent final and initial mean tumor volumes in the vehicle control arm, respectively. Mean tumor regression was calculated as % Regression = ((T0–Tf)/T0)*100. For H460 xenografts, the experimental endpoint was defined as the day on which any single tumor within the treatment arm reached 2000 mm3. Tumor growth delay is defined as the difference in the number of days to reach the endpoint for a given treatment arm compared to vehicle control.[1]

ATR and ATM are DNA damage signaling kinases that phosphorylate several thousand substrates. ATR kinase activity is increased at damaged replication forks and resected DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). ATM kinase activity is increased at DSBs. ATM has been widely studied since ataxia telangiectasia individuals who express no ATM protein are the most radiosensitive patients identified. Since ATM is not an essential protein, it is widely believed that ATM kinase inhibitors will be well-tolerated in the clinic. ATR has been widely studied, but advances have been complicated by the finding that ATR is an essential protein and it is widely believed that ATR kinase inhibitors will be toxic in the clinic. We describe AZD6738, an orally active and bioavailable ATR kinase inhibitor. AZD6738 induces cell death and senescence in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. AZD6738 potentiates the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and gemcitabine in NSCLC cell lines with intact ATM kinase signaling, and potently synergizes with cisplatin in ATM-deficient NSCLC cells. In contrast to expectations, daily administration of AZD6738 and ATR kinase inhibition for 14 consecutive days is tolerated in mice and enhances the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin in xenograft models. Remarkably, the combination of cisplatin and AZD6738 resolves ATM-deficient lung cancer xenografts.[1]

Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) proteins are sensors of DNA damage, which induces homologous recombination (HR)-dependent repair. ATR is a master regulator of DNA damage repair (DDR), signaling to control DNA replication, DNA repair and apoptosis. Therefore, the ATR pathway might be an attractive target for developing new drugs. This study was designed to investigate the antitumor effects of the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738 and its underlying mechanism in human breast cancer cells. Growth inhibitory effects of AZD6738 against human breast cancer cell lines were studied using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium, MTT) assay. Cell cycle analysis, Western blotting, immunofluorescence and comet assays were also performed to elucidate underlying mechanisms of AZD6738 action. Anti-proliferative and DDR inhibitory effects of AZD6738 were demonstrated in human breast cancer cell lines. Among 13 cell lines, the IC50 values of nine cell lines were less than 1 μmol/L using MTT assay. Two cell lines, SK-BR-3 and BT-474, were chosen for further evaluation focused on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer cells. Sensitive SK-BR-3 but not the less sensitive BT-474 breast cancer cells showed increased level of apoptosis and S phase arrest and reduced expression levels of phosphorylated check-point kinase 1 (CHK1) and other repair markers. Decreased functional CHK1 expression induced DNA damage accumulation due to HR inactivation. AZD6738 showed synergistic activity with cisplatin. Understanding the antitumor activity and mechanisms of AZD6738 in HER2-positive breast cancer cells creates the possibility for future clinical trials targeting DDR in HER2-positive breast cancer treatment.[2]

Background: DNA damage response (DDR) defects, particularly TP53 and biallelic ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) aberrations, are associated with genomic instability, clonal evolution, and chemoresistance in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Therapies capable of providing long-term disease control in CLL patients with DDR defects are lacking. Using AZD6738, a novel ATR inhibitor, we investigated ATR pathway inhibition as a synthetically lethal strategy for targeting CLL cells with these defects. Methods: The effect of AZD6738 was assessed by western blotting and immunofluorescence of key DDR proteins. Cytotoxicity was assessed by CellTiter-Gloluminescence assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and by propidium iodide exclusion. Primary CLL cells with biallelic TP53 or ATM inactivation were xenotransplanted into NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rγ mice. After treatment with AZD6738 or vehicle, tumour load was measured by flow cytometric analysis of infiltrated spleens, and subclonal composition by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation for 17p(TP53) or 11q(ATM) deletion. Findings: AZD6738 provided potent and specific inhibition of ATR signalling with compensatory activation of ATM/p53 pathway in cycling CLL cells in the presence of genotoxic stress. In p53 or ATM defective cells, AZD6738 treatment resulted in replication fork stalls and accumulation of unrepaired DNA damage, as evidenced by γH2AX and 53BP1 foci formation, which was carried through into mitosis, resulting in cell death by mitotic catastrophe. AZD6738 displayed selective cytotoxicity towards ATM or p53 deficient CLL cells, and was highly synergistic in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy. This finding was confirmed in primary xenograft models of DDR-defective CLL, where treatment with AZD6738 resulted in decreased tumour load and selective reduction of CLL subclones with ATM or TP53 alterations. Interpretation: We have provided mechanistic insight and demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo efficacy of a novel therapeutic approach that specifically targets p53-null or ATM-null CLL cells. Such an approach can potentially help to avert clonal evolution, a major cause of therapeutic resistance and disease relapse.[3]

Understanding the therapeutic effect of drug dose and scheduling is critical to inform the design and implementation of clinical trials. The increasing complexity of both mono, and particularly combination therapies presents a substantial challenge in the clinical stages of drug development for oncology. Using a systems pharmacology approach, we have extended an existing PK-PD model of tumor growth with a mechanistic model of the cell cycle, enabling simulation of mono and combination treatment with the ATR inhibitor AZD6738 and ionizing radiation. Using AZD6738, we have developed multi-parametric cell based assays measuring DNA damage and cell cycle transition, providing quantitative data suitable for model calibration. Our in vitro calibrated cell cycle model is predictive of tumor growth observed in in vivo mouse xenograft studies. The model is being used for phase I clinical trial designs for AZD6738, with the aim of improving patient care through quantitative dose and scheduling prediction.[4]
