Though the Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate has improved the treatment of Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia, resistance is often reported in patients with advanced-stage disease. Although several Src inhibitors are more effective than imatinib and simultaneously inhibit Lyn, whose overexpression is associated with imatinib-resistance, these inhibitors are less specific than imatinib. We have identified a specific dual Abl-Lyn inhibitor, NS-187 (elsewhere described as CNS-9), which is 25-55 times more potent than imatinib in vitro. NS-187 is also at least 10 times as effective as imatinib in suppressing the growth of Bcr-Abl-bearing tumors, and markedly extends the survival of mice bearing such tumors. The inhibitory effect of NS-187 extends to 12 of 13 Bcr-Abl proteins with mutations in their kinase domain, but not to T315I. NS-187 also inhibits Lyn without affecting the phosphorylation of Src, Blk or Yes. These results suggest that NS-187 may be a potentially valuable novel agent to combat imatinib-resistant Ph+ leukemia.
