[0177] Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) is an energy carrier shared by all kinds of life activities in nature, and it is the smallest unit of energy storage and transfer.

The light signal was directly proportional to the amount of ATP in the system, and ATP was positively correlated with the number of living cells. Therefore, cell proliferation can be detected by detecting ATP content with the CellTiter-Glo kit.

[0205] the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The anti-tumor efficacy of the compounds was evaluated by TGI (%) or relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%).

Relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%)=T.sub.RTV/C.sub.RTV×100% (T.sub.RTV: mean RTV of the treatment group; C.sub.RTV: mean RTV of the negative control group). The relative tumor volume (RTV) was calculated according to the results of tumor measurement, and the calculation formula was RTV=V.sub.t/V.sub.0, wherein V.sub.0 was the tumor volume measured at the time of group administration (that is, D.sub.0), V.sub.t was the tumor volume of the corresponding mouse at a certain measurement, and the data of T.sub.RTV and C.sub.RTV were taken on the same day. TGI (%)=[(1-(average tumor volume at the end of administration of a certain treatment group - average tumor volume at the beginning of administration of this treatment group))/(average tumor volume at the end of treatment in the solvent control group - average tumor volume at the beginning of treatment in the solvent control group)]×100%. The results are shown in
[0206] Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis was based on the relative tumor volume and tumor weight at the end of the trial, which was analyzed by SPSS software. The comparison between multiple groups
[0207] was analyzed by using one-way ANOVA. If the variances were homogeneous (no significant difference in F-values), Tukey's method was used for analysis. If the variances were not homogeneous (significant difference in F-values), Games-Howell method was used for test. P<0.05 was considered as a significant difference.
[0208] Experimental results: In the Ba/F3 CD74-ROS1-WT subcutaneous xenograft tumor model, the TGIs of Crizotinib (30 mg/kg) and WX-001 (10 mg/kg) at 7 days of administration were 110.40% and 112.17% respectively, and the p values were all equal to 0.004, which showed significant anti-tumor effects.
[0209] Experimental conclusion: WX-001 has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of Ba/F3 CD74-ROS1-WT nude mice transplanted tumor.
[0210] Experimental embodiment 6: Efficacy test of the compounds in mice
[0211] Experimental objective: To evaluate the anti-tumor effect of WX-001 in human-derived lung cancer LD1-0025-361019 PDX animal model.
[0212] Drug preparation: Compounds were formulated into clear solutions with 10% DMSO+10% solutol+80% water as the solvent for PO (gavage) group administration.
[0213] Tumor measurement: Diameters of tumors were measured with vernier calipers twice a week. The calculation formula of tumor volume was: V=0.5×a×b.sup.2, wherein a and b represented
[0214] the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The anti-tumor efficacy of the compounds was evaluated by TGI (%). TGI (%) reflects the tumor growth inhibition rate. TGI (%)=[(1-(average tumor volume at the end of administration of a certain treatment group-average tumor volume at the beginning of administration of this treatment group))/(average tumor volume at the end of treatment in the solvent control group - average tumor volume at the beginning of treatment in the solvent control group)]×100%. The results are shown in
[0215] Statistical analysis: All data were expressed by Mean±SEM. One-way ANOVA LSD test was used to compare whether there was a significant difference in tumor volume and tumor weight between the treatment group and the control group. All the data were analyzed by Graphpad. P<0.05 was considered as a significant difference.
[0216] Experimental results: At 21 days of administration on the human-derived lung cancer LD1-0025-361019 PDX animal model (CD74-ROS1 fusion & G2032R mutation), the tumor growth inhibition rate TGIs of Crizotinib (50 mg/kg) administration group, WX-001 high dose (20 mg/kg) administration group, WX-001 medium dose (15 mg/kg) administration group and WX-001 low dose (10 mg/kg) administration group were 35.43%, 82.38%, 70.03% and 60.83% respectively. Compared with the solvent control group, the WX-001 20 mg/kg administration group, the WX-001 15 mg/kg administration group and the WX-001 10 mg/kg administration group all showed significant inhibitory effects on tumor growth (P<0.01).
[0217] Experimental conclusion: In the human-derived lung cancer LD1-0025-361019 PDX animal model, WX-001 has a significant anti-tumor effect, and the anti-tumor effect has a dose-dependent trend (compared the high-dose group with the low-dose group p<0.05).
