Tyrphostin induced growth inhibition: correlation with effect on p210bcr-abl autokinase activity in K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia.
We have examined a series of tyrosine kinase inhibitors structurally related to erbstatin (tyrphostins) for inhibition of p210bcr-abl autokinase activity in vitro and for growth inhibition of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)K562 cells. Of the tyrphostins with IC50 for growth < 50 microM, AG814, AG946, AG952, AG896, AG953, AG956 and AG957 (structurally related to lavendustin A and piceatannol) completely inhibited p210bcr-abl kinase activity in an immune complex kinase assay. Another group of tyrphostins (AG807, AG568, AG763, AG1076, AG490, AG1318, AG556, AG1319, AG555 and AG1111) inhibits growth of K562 cells but not p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity. Of the compounds which inhibit growth and p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity, AG957 inhibits DNA synthesis as early as 2 h (60% inhibition at 20 microM of AG957), a time and concentration of drug where RNA and protein synthesis were not affected. AG957 inhibits p210bcr-abl tyrosine phosphorylation in living cells by 1 h without an inhibition of total protein phosphorylation. Growth inhibition by AG957 was reversible after 4 h of exposure, but irreversible after 24 h. AG957 can be considered as an important lead structure for the development of anti-bcr-abl tyrosine kinase antagonists. These data also raise the possibility that bcr-abl kinase activity is directly linked to maintenance of DNA synthesis in Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) CML cells.

Tyrphostin-induced inhibition of p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity induces K562 to differentiate.
We report on the potency of two Tyrphostin tyrosine kinase blockers, AG 1112 and AG 568, to inhibit p210bcr-abl tyrosine kinase activity in K562 cells, concomitant with the induction of erythroid differentiation. AG 568 and especially AG 1112 represent a specific group of nontoxic protein tyrosine kinase blockers among more than 1,400 tested. These compounds possess therapeutic potential for purging Philadelphia chromosome-positive cells in preparation for autologous bone marrow transplantation in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

[Anticancer agents targeting oncogene products].
Accumulating evidence indicates that the activation of cellular oncogenes is a cause of some human cancers. ErbB-1, erbB-2 and abl oncogenes encoding tyrosine kinases, ras oncogenes encoding GTP binding proteins and myc oncogenes whose functions are not well understood are some examples. Therefore, agents which inhibit the activity of these oncogene products may provide new means to overcome certain human tumors. Herbimycin A and tyrphostins have been found and developed as inhibitors of tyrosine kinases and the effectiveness of these agents against tumors of Ph1-positive leukemia (CML, ALL) or squamous cell carcinomas has been reported. Although specific inhibitors of ras or myc oncogene products have not yet been described, recent studies on the processing of Ras proteins toward the cell membrane provide a strategy to search for inhibitors of ras functions.
