ZYBT1, a potent, irreversible Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor that inhibits the C481S BTK with profound efficacy against arthritis and cancer.

ABSTRACT: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a central and pivotal role in controlling the pathways involved in the pathobiology of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and other autoimmune disorders. ZYBT1 is a potent, irreversible, specific BTK inhibitor that inhibits the ibrutinib-resistant C481S BTK with nanomolar potency. ZYBT1 is found to be a promising molecule to treat both cancer and RA. In the present report we profiled the molecule for in-vitro, in-vivo activity, and pharmacokinetic properties. ZYBT1 inhibits BTK and C481S BTK with an IC₅₀ of 1 nmol/L and 14 nmol/L, respectively, inhibits the growth of various leukemic cell lines with IC₅₀ of 1 nmol/L to 15 μmol/L, blocks the phosphorylation of BTK and PLCγ2, and inhibits secretion of TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-6.
