CX-4945 was tested against 285 kinases in Millipore Kinase Profiler, and in vitro kinase assays. In the latter, only 7/238 kinases were inhibited by >90% at 50 nM.
In cell validation
Potency assay (cells):
CX-4945 dose-dependently inhibited substrate phosphorylation in BT-474, BxPC-C and HUVEC cells. CX-4945 inhibited phosphorylation of AKT at S129.
Target engagement assay (cells):
Indirect: inhibition of substrate phosphorylation
