In patients who relapse on imatinib therapy, the Bcr-Abl kinase is reactivated, emphasizing the importance of the kinase activity of this protein to disease pathogenesis. The most common mechanism of resistance, occurring in 60% to 90% of patients who acquire imatinib resistance, involves specific mutations in the kinase domain of Bcr-Abl that interfere with imatinib binding without eliminating ATP binding or kinase activity (reviewed in refs. 7, 8). Clinically observed mutations identified within the Bcr-Abl kinase domain span a range of residual imatinib sensitivities (IC50: 900-4,400 nmol/L) and encompass several functionally distinct kinase domain regions, including the nucleotide binding P-loop, imatinib contact residues, and the activation loop (7, 9, 10).
An understanding of the mechanism of imatinib resistance has prompted the search for alternate Bcr-Abl inhibitors that are effective against clinically observed Bcr-Abl mutants. Two promising new Bcr-Abl inhibitors for treating imatinib-resistant CML are currently being evaluated in clinical trials: the selective Abl inhibitor AMN107 and the dual Src/Abl inhibitor BMS-354825 (Fig. 1A, top). AMN107 was developed by rational drug design based on the crystal structure of an Abl-imatinib complex, whereas BMS-354825 is a Src inhibitor that was found to exhibit Abl inhibitory properties.
|
Another approach to counteract imatinib resistance is to use inhibitors that bind Bcr-Abl with less stringent conformational requirements than imatinib. Imatinib selectively targets an inactive conformation of the Abl kinase domain in which the activation loop is in a nonphosphorylated, closed position that is incompatible with substrate binding (13). Specific differences between the inactive conformations of Abl and Src provide a structural basis for the initially surprising finding that Src family kinases are not imatinib targets, despite a high degree of sequence homology (11). The Abl and Src active conformations are more similar and many inhibitors that bind to the active conformation of Src are also capable of inhibiting Abl (11). BMS-354825 is a dual Src-Abl kinase inhibitor that inhibits all tested Bcr-Abl kinase domain mutants observed in relapsed patients with the exception of T315I. The drug was also highly effective in a mouse model of imatinib-resistant, Bcr-Abl–dependent disease (14).
Although some data regarding the ability of AMN107 to inhibit various imatinib-resistant mutants is available, a number of the common mutants have not been included in the published data. Further, given differences in cell lines used, variations in levels of Bcr-Abl expression, and differing assay conditions, a direct comparison of AMN107 and BMS-354825 based on published results is not possible. Given that both of these drugs are in clinical trials, knowledge of the relative sensitivity of a particular mutant could assist in determining which drug would be more appropriate for a particular patient. Therefore, in this report, we present a complete profile of AMN107 against imatinib-resistant mutants and a direct cellular and biochemical comparison between imatinib, AMN107, and BMS-354825

Cell lines. Ba/F3 transfectants (expressing full-length wild-type Bcr-Abl or Bcr-Abl with kinase domain point mutations) were generated, selected, and maintained as previously described (10). Parental Ba/F3 cells were supplemented with interleukin-3 (IL-3).
Kinase autophosphorylation assays with glutathione S-transferase–Abl kinase domains. Kinase assays using wild-type and mutant glutathione S-transferase (GST)–Abl fusion proteins (c-Abl amino acids 220-498) were done as described, with minor alterations (15). GST-Abl fusion proteins were released from glutathione-Sepharose beads before use; the concentration of ATP was 5 µmol/L. Immediately before use in kinase autophosphorylation and in vitro peptide substrate phosphorylation assays, GST-Abl kinase domain fusion proteins were treated with LAR tyrosine phosphatase according to the manufacturer's instructions (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA). After 1-hour incubation at 30°C, LAR phosphatase was inactivated by addition of sodium vanadate (1 mmol/L). Immunoblot analysis comparing untreated GST-Abl kinase to dephosphorylated GST-Abl kinase was routinely done using phosphotyrosine-specific antibody 4G10 to confirm complete (>95%) dephosphorylation of tyrosine residues and c-Abl antibody CST 2862 to confirm equal loading of GST-Abl kinase. The inhibitor concentration ranges for IC50 determinations were 0 to 5,000 nmol/L (imatinib and AMN107) or 0 to 32 nmol/L (BMS-354825). The BMS-354825 concentration range was extended to 1,000 nmol/L for mutant T315I. These same inhibitor concentrations were used for the in vitro peptide substrate phosphorylation assays. The three inhibitors were tested over these same concentration ranges against GST-Src kinase (Cell Signaling Technology, Boulder, CO) and GST-Lyn kinase (Stressgen, Victoria, BC, Canada).
In vitro peptide substrate phosphorylation assays with glutathione S-transferase–Abl kinase domains. The effects of imatinib (0-5,000 nmol/L), AMN107 (0-5,000 nmol/L), and BMS-354825 (0-32 nmol/L) on the catalytic activity of unphosphorylated GST-Abl kinase were assessed using a synthetic, NH2-terminal biotin-linked peptide substrate (biotin-EAIYAAPFAKKK-amide; ref. 16). Assays were carried out at 30°C for 5 minutes in 25 µL of reaction mixture consisting of kinase buffer [25 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mmol/L ß-glycerophosphate, 2 mmol/L DTT, 0.1 mmol/L Na3VO4, 10 mmol/L MgCl2; Cell Signaling Technology], 50 µmol/L peptide substrate, 10 nmol/L wild-type or mutant GST-Abl kinase, and 50 µmol/L ATP/[
-32P]ATP (5,000 cpm/pmol). Reactions were terminated by addition of guanidine hydrochloride to a final concentration of 2.5 mol/L. A portion of each terminated reaction mixture was transferred to a streptavidin-coated membrane (SAM2 biotin capture membrane; Promega, Madison, WI), washed, and dried according to the manufacturer's instructions; phosphate incorporation was determined by scintillation counting. Results were corrected for background binding to the membranes as determined by omitting peptide substrate from the kinase reaction. Time course experiments to establish the linear range of enzymatic activity preceded kinase assays. Similar in vitro peptide substrate phosphorylation assays were conducted with two Src family kinases: GST-Src kinase (Cell Signaling Technology) and GST-Lyn kinase (Stressgen). For Src family kinases, SignaTECT PTK biotinylated peptide substrate 2 (Promega) was the peptide substrate; all other conditions were as described for the GST-Abl kinase assays.
Cellular proliferation assays. Ba/F3 cell lines were plated in triplicate and incubated with escalating concentrations of imatinib, AMN107, or BMS-354825 for 72 hours. Proliferation was measured using a methanethiosulfonate-based viability assay (CellTiter96 Aqueous One Solution Reagent; Promega). IC50 and IC90 values are reported as the mean of three independent experiments done in quadruplicate. The inhibitor concentration ranges for IC50 and IC90 determinations were 0 to 2,000 nmol/L (imatinib and AMN107) or 0 to 32 nmol/L (BMS-354825). The imatinib concentration range was extended to 6,400 nmol/L for mutants with IC50 >2,000 nmol/L. The BMS-354825 concentration range was extended to 200 nmol/L for mutant T315I.
Immunoblotting. Ba/F3 cell lines (1 x 106 cells) were incubated for 3 hours in media containing escalating doses of either imatinib or AMN107. Cells were collected by centrifugation and lysed in SDS sample buffer. Following SDS-PAGE, proteins were transferred to Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA) for immunoblotting. Tyrosine-phosphorylated Bcr-Abl was detected with mouse monoclonal phosphotyrosine antibody 4G10 (Supplementary Fig. S1). Bcr-Abl expression was detected using rabbit c-Abl antibody CST 2862 (Cell Signaling Technology).
Apoptosis assays. Ba/F3 cell lines (6 x 104 cells/well) were incubated in 1 mL media containing vehicle, imatinib (300 nmol/L, 1,500 nmol/L), or AMN107 (30, 300, and 1,500 nmol/L) for 72 hours. Detection of apoptosis was done using a Guava Nexin apoptosis kit (Annexin V-phycoerythrin and 7-amino-actinomycin D; Guava Technologies, Hayward, CA) and a Guava Technologies PCA instrument. Results based on three independent experiments are reported as the mean ± SE (Supplementary Fig. S2).

20-fold higher potency than imatinib (IC50: 15 versus 280 nmol/L), whereas BMS-354825 had a two-log (325-fold) increased potency relative to imatinib (IC50: 0.6 versus 280 nmol/L). Corresponding experiments with mutant Abl kinase domains revealed that the 20-fold improved potency of AMN107 compared with imatinib is also seen with the imatinib-resistant mutants (Table 1). The one exception was the Abl mutant T315I, which was completely insensitive to AMN107 (highest concentration tested: 5,000 nmol/L). To facilitate comparisons within Table 1, the IC50 data are also expressed as fold change relative to a baseline of one for wild-type Abl kinase. By viewing the data in this way, it is apparent that the overall pattern of mutant sensitivity to AMN107 closely parallels that of imatinib. Because imatinib and AMN107 are predicted to share an absolute requirement for a specific inactive Bcr-Abl conformation and to bind in very similar ways, it is logical to expect largely the same pattern of effectiveness for AMN107 as for imatinib, but with the range of effectiveness shifted to a value more than an order of magnitude lower than that of imatinib. In contrast, BMS-354825 potently inhibited wild-type Abl kinase and all mutants except T315I over a narrow range (IC50 
1.7 nmol/L). We also did a complete set of Abl kinase autophosphorylation assays with each of the inhibitors and obtained similar results to those from peptide substrate assays (Table 1). Thus, biochemical assays establish that AMN107 and BMS-354825 directly target wild-type and mutant Abl kinase domains and inhibit autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation in a concentration-dependent manner. Similar assays with the Src family kinases Src and Lyn (17, 18), which is expressed at high levels in primary CML blast crisis cells, showed that BMS-354825 is a potent inhibitor of these Src family kinases, whereas imatinib and AMN107 are inactive against these kinases (Table 1).

70 nmol/L: M244V, G250E, Q252H, F3llL, F317L, M351T, V379I, L387M, H396P, H396R), medium (IC50 200 nmol/L: Y253F, E255K, F359V), low (IC50 450 nmol/L: Y253H, E255V), and insensitive (IC50 > 2 µmol/L: T315I). This pattern is highly reminiscent of the corresponding ranking of imatinib sensitivities (Table 2) and expected given the highly related structures of these two compounds and the binding constraints they share. However, there are a few differences in the fold differences in sensitivities of the mutants to imatinib and AMN107. This is particularly noteworthy for M351T. Due to the structural differences between AMN107 and imatinib, this residue comes in close proximity to imatinib, but is less critical for coordinating binding of AMN107. BMS-354825, on the other hand, was found to be an extremely potent inhibitor of proliferation in cells expressing all mutants except T315I. As in the biochemical assays, the range of IC50 values for cells treated with BMS-354825 was narrow (0.8-11 nmol/L), in line with the proposal that the Bcr-Abl structural requirements for binding BMS-354825 are much less stringent than for imatinib family members.

In agreement with cellular proliferation and tyrosine phosphorylation assay results, AMN107 induced apoptosis at significantly lower concentrations than imatinib in cells expressing wild-type Bcr-Abl or any of the kinase domain mutants except T315I (Supplementary Fig. S2). At the highest AMN107 concentration tested (1.5 µmol/L), >90% of the cells were Annexin positive except in the cases of Y253H (65%), E255V (65%), and T315I (3%). Parental Ba/F3 cells and Ba/F3 cells expressing Bcr-Abl mutant T315I did not undergo apoptosis above vehicle-treated control levels in response to either inhibitor.
A conservative estimate for imatinib steady-state trough levels in patients treated with 400 mg imatinib per day is 1.5 µmol/L (2, 20). The pharmacokinetic profile and maximum tolerated dose for AMN107 have not been reported, and its effectiveness as a therapy for imatinib-resistant CML will depend on the concentration that can be reached in humans. Preliminary findings from the phase I/II study indicate that orally administered AMN107 at 200 mg per day is well tolerated with biological and marrow effects in some patients (21). Taking inhibition at or above the IC90 value (Table 2) as a benchmark for clinical benefit, AMN107 at a trough level of 1.5 µmol/L would be predicted to be an effective single agent therapeutic for cells expressing wild-type Bcr-Abl and all mutants tested except T315I. If a trough level of only 500 nmol/L is achievable, three mutants (Y253H, E255V, and T315I) are predicted to be substantially resistant.
BMS-354825 is 325-fold more potent than imatinib and 16-fold more potent than AMN107 against wild-type Bcr-Abl. Again, invoking inhibition at or above the IC90 value (Table 2) as an indicator of clinical benefit, BMS-354825 would be predicted to be an effective single agent therapeutic for cells expressing wild-type Bcr-Abl and all mutants tested except T315I at a trough level of 50 nmol/L. Establishing and utilizing the minimum effective concentration may be especially important in the case of dual Src/Abl inhibitors, such as BMS-354825 due to concerns pertaining to off-target effects.
In summary, the cellular and biochemical experiments directly comparing AMN107 and BMS-354825 to imatinib show that both inhibitors are more potent than imatinib against all cell lines and purified Abl kinase domains tested except T315I. The mutants, other than T315I, that were least responsive to AMN107 in all three cellular assays were Y253H and E255V (Fig. 2). Analogous to imatinib, the extent of sensitivity to AMN107 depended on the specific substitution at a given position (e.g., E255V less sensitive than E255K to AMN107).
Both AMN107 and BMS-354825 hold promise for treating patients with imatinib-resistant CML except when the disease is driven by Bcr-Abl mutant T315I. Although both inhibitors efficiently block Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase catalytic activity, they do so by binding to distinct, partially overlapping sites in the kinase domain and by placing different conformational requirements on the Abl kinase domain. If results of clinical trials and pharmacokinetic studies indicate that AMN107 and BMS-354825 are safe and effective, the feasibility of using these drugs in combination should be evaluated. In support of this approach, we recently investigated the use of imatinib in combination with BMS-354825 as a strategy for confronting drug resistance in CML.6 Specifically, treating Ba/F3 cells expressing wild-type or imatinib-resistant Bcr-Abl kinase domain mutants with various combinations of imatinib and BMS-354825 produced additive inhibitory effects. Even at imatinib concentrations above clinically achievable levels, no antagonism of the Src/Abl inhibitor was observed. A particularly appealing therapeutic option is to use a Bcr-Abl inhibitor cocktail containing these inhibitors as well as an as yet undiscovered T315I inhibitor. Advantages of combinatorial therapy are that clones resistant to one of the Bcr-Abl inhibitors may be vulnerable to another component of the cocktail (22), the potential to eliminate a wider spectrum of mutants, including those that predate therapeutic intervention (23), and eradication of a higher proportion of residual leukemic cells (8). Therefore, using Bcr-Abl inhibitor combinations to treat newly diagnosed, chronic-phase CML patients may represent the best strategy to prevent or significantly delay the onset of acquired drug resistance. In addition, these Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitors could also increase response rates and duration of response due to their increased potency.
