Description
ALW-II-41-27 is a Eph receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. pharmacologic inhibition of EPHA2 by the small-molecule inhibitor ALW-II-41-27 decreased both survival and proliferation of erlotinib-resistant tumor cells and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. ALW-II-41-27 was also effective in decreasing viability of cells with acquired resistance to the third-generation EGFR TKI AZD9291. Collectively, these data define a role for EPHA2 in the maintenance of cell survival of TKI-resistant, EGFR-mutant lung cancer and indicate that EPHA2 may serve as a useful therapeutic target in TKI-resistant tumors.

In Vitro Activity
The development of a novel therapeutic strategy for SCLC has become a pressing issue. It was found that expression of Eph receptor A2 (EphA2) is upregulated in three of 13 SCLC cell lines and five of 76 SCLC tumor samples. Genetic inhibition using siRNA of EphA2 significantly suppressed the cellular proliferation via induction of cell cycle arrest in SBC-5 cells. Furthermore, small molecule inhibitors of EphA2 (ALW-II-41-27 and dasatinib) also exclusively inhibited proliferation of EphA2-positive SCLC cells by the same mechanism. Collectively, EphA2 could be a promising candidate as a therapeutic target for SCLC.

In Vivo Activity
In the present study, it was shown that ALW-II-41-27 decreased gastrointestinal motility and abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scores, markedly reduced the levels of oxidative stress markers [4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), protein carbonyl, and 8-hydroxy-2-de-axyguanine (8-OHdG)] and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17, and ICAM-1), and remarkably increased the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) in serum and colon of Trichinella spiralis-infected mice. Moreover, ALW-II-41-27 was effective in suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation in LPS-treated NCM460 colonic cells. Treatment of ALW-II-41-27 reversed the activation of NF-κB and inactivation of Nrf2 in LPS-treated NCM460 cells. Importantly, these protective effects of ALW-II-41-27 were partially inhibited by EphA2 KO and abolished by EphA2 overexpression. In conclusion, EphA2 may represent a promising therapeutic target for patients with PI-IBS and ALW-II-41-27 might function as a novel therapeutic agent for PI-IBS.
