cd73-in-3

CD73-IN-3 (LY-3475070) is a potent and selective CD73 inhibitor with an IC50 of 28 nM, and its use alone or in combination with pembrolizumab is currently being tested in patients with advanced cancer.

Adenosine 5'-methylenediphosphate is an inhibitor of ecto-5'-nucleotidase, also known as CD73, with a Kivalue of 37 nM.1It inhibits cAMP accumulation induced by adenosine 5'-monophosphate , adenosine 5'-diphosphate , or adenosine 5'-triphosphate but not adenosine in VA-13 human fibroblasts when used at a concentration of 100 μM. Adenosine 5'-methylenediphosphate reduces proliferation of U138MG glioma cells, as well as inhibits the invasion and migration of MHCC97H hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in a migration assay.2,3It increases tumor infiltration of CD3+CD8+T cells and reduces tumor growth in a K1735 murine melanoma model when administered at a dose of 400 μg mouse.4 1.Bruns, R.F.Adenosine receptor activation by adenine nucleotides requires conversion of the nucleotides to adenosineNaunyn Schmiedebergs Arch.
