Study of the Selectivity of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF1R) Inhibitors

Abstract: Abstract:The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) is a drug target for oncology, and many studies are ongoing to identify compounds that inhibit its tyrosine kinase activity. IGF1R is highly homologous to the insulin receptor (IR) and IGF1R inhibition might be beneficial for patients, while IR inhibition may lead to limiting toxicity. Therefore selectivity for IGF1R over IR is the aim for drug design in this context. A few compounds that selectively inhibit IGF1R over IR in cells have been identified,… Show more

“…Interestingly, compounds T1 and T3 exhibited a substantially stronger (5-10-fold) inhibition of InsR versus IGF1R in our experiments. This selectivity was similar or higher than that of almost all the known small molecule inhibitors of IGF1R demonstrated in a valid biochemical assay [ 23 ], apparently reflecting a very high degree of similarity between the receptors at their catalytic sites and in their close vicinity. The single concentration data on the inhibition of the more distantly related tyrosine kinases Met, BTK, and Syk ( Table 2 ) suggests no inhibition (compounds L1, T3) or weak inhibition for some of these kinases, with estimated IC 50 values in excess of 50 μM.…”
