Jul 28, 2022

Bugatinib (INN, trade name Ambrey) is an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) -positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Mechanism of action

Bugitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits a variety of kinases including ALK, ROS1, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), FLT-3, EGFR deletion and point mutation in vitro at clinically accessible concentrations. In vitro and in vivo, bugitinib inhibited ALK autophosphorylation and ALK-mediated phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins STAT3, AKT, ERK1/2, and S6. Bugitinib also inhibited the proliferation of EML4-ALK and NPM-ALK fusion protein cell lines in vitro and inhibited the growth of EML4-ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer xenografts in a dose-dependent manner.

Adverse reactions (side effects)

The most common adverse reactions (incidence > 25%) with bugitinib were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rash, cough, dyspnea, hypertension, fatigue, muscle pain, headache.

Interact with each other

The combination of bugitinib with a potent or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases the plasma concentration of bugitinib and may increase the incidence of adverse effects. Concomitant administration of bugitinib with a potent or moderate CYP3A inducer may reduce the plasma concentration of bugitinib, which May 17/25 reduce the efficacy of bugitinib.

Bugitinib can reduce the concentration of sensitive CYP3A substrate.
