Abstract 5393: Evaluation of compounds developed against the TAM family kinases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The TAM family receptor tyrosine kinases, consisting of Tyro3, Axl and Mer, are implicated in a diverse range of cellular processes such as cell survival, proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and inflammatory response. Despite the debates over their role as a driver in carcinogenesis owing to some recent findings, their link to human cancer is strongly supported by direct correlation of the level of expression/activity with tumor grade and prognosis. In particular, Axl was found to underlie metastasis as an essential regulator of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and also to confer acquired resistance to the TKI-mediated targeted therapies by up-regulation of associated kinases. Currently, none of FDA-approved kinase drugs were developed for the TAM family kinases. In our effort to develop such small-molecule inhibitors targeting the TAM kinases for oncology indications, we uncovered a series of novel potent compounds with low nM potency against Axl and Tyro3. Effect of these compounds in human cancer cell lines of different tissue origins was mediated mainly through the Axl-dependent signaling pathways. Detailed analysis of signaling proteins downstream of Axl revealed different mechanisms of action for these compounds. In addition to suppression of cell proliferation, these compounds inhibited anchorage-independent colony formation, cell migration and invasion. Four compounds were selected to be evaluated in pharmacokinetic studies in mice and the results indicated that these compounds possess reasonable PK properties with high exposure, reasonably long half-life, and good bioavailability. The results of the efficacy studies in suppressing tumor growth in a xenograft and an orthotropic mouse models will be discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
