Description of LUNA18

LUNA18 is an orally-available cyclic peptide KRAS and ERK inhibitor. LUNA18 phosphorylates ERK and AKT and decreases cell proliferation in RAS-mutated cancer cells. LUNA18 exhibits RAS signal inhibition and potent anti-cancer activities through inhibiting interaction between RAS and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) in a mouse xenograft model. LUNA18 shows significant cellular efficacy against cell lines with KRAS genetic alterations, such as colon cancer, stomach cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and pancreaticcancer.

LUNA18 (2 μmol/L, 36 h) robustly inhibits proliferation of NCI-H2122, MiaPaCa-2, NCI-H441, LS 180, GSU cell lines, which is a selective RAS inhibitor[3].LUNA18 (0-100 nM, 4 h) decreases GTP-KRAS, pERK1/2 and pAKT expression in a concentration-dependent manner in NCI-H441 cell lines[3].

LUNA18 (10 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 14 days) results in dose-dependent antitumor activity without any marked body weight loss in NCI-H441 xenograft mouse model[3].PK parameters of LUNA18[3]

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
