In Ba/F3 cells overexpressing the constitutively active Tel-TRKC fusion, GNF-5837 shows potent anti-Trk activity and potent antiproliferation activity with IC50 of 0.042 μM.
In vivo
In both male Balb/c mice and Sprague–Dawley rats, GNF-5837 has the low drug clearance, and moderate biovailability. In mice bearing Rie xenografts expressing TrkA and NGF, GNF-5837 (100 mg/kg/d p.o.) significantly inhibits tumor growth.
