LC Labs/L-5814 Linsitinib, Free Base, >99%/L-5814/5 mg
- Linsitinib, also known as OSI-906, is a novel, potent small-molecule dual insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R)/insulin receptor (IR) kinase inhibitor.
- As of August 18, 2016, we note that another vendor, Chemietek, is offering a batch of linsitinib that is neither the pure free base nor the pure HCl salt; it has only 0.4 equivalent of HCl.
- Linsitinib inhibited IGF-1R and IR kinases with IC50 values of 35 nM and 75 nM, respectively. Linsitinib potently and selectively blocked autophosphorylation of both human IGF-1R and IR, inhibited the proliferation of a variety of tumor cell lines in vitro, and displayed robust in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in an IGF-1R-driven xenograft model when administered orally. Mulvihill, M.J., et al. \"Discovery of OSI-906: a selective and orally efficacious dual inhibitor of the IGF-1 receptor and insulin receptor.\" Future Med. Chem. 1: 1153-1171 (2009).
- Linsitinib showed superior efficacy compared with MAB391, a selective anti-IGF-1R antibody, in human tumor xenograft models in which both IGF-1R and IR were phosphorylated. Buck, E., et al. \"Compensatory insulin receptor (IR) activation on inhibition of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R): rationale for cotargeting IGF-1R and IR in cancer.\" Mol. Cancer Ther. 9: 2652-2664 (2010).
- Following a single dose of linsitinib, 18FDG-PET was shown to serve as a rapid, noninvasive pharmacodynamic biomarker of IGF-1R/IR inhibition. McKinley, E.T., et al. \"18FDG-PET predicts pharmacodynamic response to OSI-906, a dual IGF-1R/IR inhibitor, in preclinical mouse models of lung cancer.\" Clin. Cancer Res. 17: 3332-3340 (2011).
- IGF-1 was shown to be overexpressed in low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) when compared with serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOTs) and high-grade SOCs. Low-grade SOC cell lines were more sensitive to IGF-1 stimulation and IGF-1R inhibition than were high-grade lines. Therefore, the IGF-1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target in low-grade SOC. King, E.R., et al. \"The insulin-like growth factor 1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target for low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.\" Gynecol. Oncol. 123: 13-18 (2011).
- Linsitinib blocked IGF-1 signaling in LCC6 xenograft tumors in vivo. When given once a week, combined administration simultaneously of OSI-906 and doxorubicin significantly improved the anti-tumor effect of doxorubicin.

Treat. 133: 117-126 (2012).
- Therapeutic targeting of both IR and IGF-1R by linsitinib was shown to be more effective than targeting IGF-1R alone by MAB391 in abrogating resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer. Fox, E.M., et al. \"A kinome-wide screen identifies the insulin/IGF-1 receptor pathway as a mechanism of escape from hormone dependence in breast cancer.\" Cancer Res. 71: 6773-6784 (2011).
- Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was demonstrated to predict hepatocellular carcinoma cell sensitivity to linsitinib, as the epithelial phenotype was strongly associated with expression of IGF-2 and IR, and activation of IGF-1R and IR. Induction of EMT by TGFβ reduced sensitivity to linsitinib.
