PF-06380101

PF-06380101 (Aur0101), an auristatin microtubule inhibitor, is a cytotoxic Dolastatin 10 analogue. PF-06380101 (Aur0101) shows excellent potencies in tumor cell proliferation assays and differential ADME properties when compared to other synthetic auristatin analogues that are used in the preparation of ADCs. In Vivo: After an IV dose of 20a at 20 μg/kg to Wistar Han rats, PF-06380101 exhibited a mean systemic clearance (Cl) of 70 mL/min/kg and a volume of distribution (Vss) of 14.70 L/kg, resulting in a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of approximately 6 h. PF-06380101 preferentially distributes into human plasma relative to whole blood and that PF-06380101 is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate. PF-06380101 is anticipated to be of low risk to perpetrate pharmacokinetic drug interactions with compounds for which CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and/or CYP3A4/5-mediated metabolism constitutes the primary mechanism of clearance. The utility of the new auristatin analogues as ADC payloads including the development of the lead analogue 20a (PF-06380101) will be reported in due course.
