Nilotinib(AMN-107)
Nilotinib (AMN-107; CAS 641571-10-0) is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor targeting the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. Derived structurally from imatinib, nilotinib inhibits both wild-type (WT p210) and mutant forms (E281K, E292K, F317L, M351T, F486S) of BCR-ABL, reducing their autophosphorylation activity with IC50 values ranging from 20 to 42 nM. It also exhibits substantial inhibitory activity against activated KIT mutants (e.g., V560del, K642E) and various KIT double mutations, and effectively suppresses PDGFRα and PDGFRβ kinases. Nilotinib is utilized extensively in research related to chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors involving kinase-driven pathologies.

Shipping Condition | Small Molecules with Blue Ice, Modified Nucleotides with Dry Ice. |
General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment: [1] | |
Cell lines |
CD34+ cells from individual patients with CML |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Reaction Conditions |
5 μM, 16 hours |
Applications |
After 16 hours in culture with nilotinib, long enough for inhibition of CrkL phosphorylation but not for induction of apoptosis, the total CD34+ cell samples studied exhibited only partial and variable inhibition (range, 49% to 0% inhibition) of CrkL phosphorylation. |
Animal experiment: [2] | |
Animal models |
C57Bl/6J mice injected with 8093 lymphoma cells |
Dosage form |
Oral administration, 75 mg/kg, daily |
Applications |
Vehicle treated mice became moribund within 3 weeks of the transplantation. They showed clear symptoms of ALL. Nilotinib-treated mice lived statistically significantly longer as compared with the vehicle-treated mice. This result clearly indicated that nilotinib was very effective in inhibiting the proliferation of the leukemic cells in vivo. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
