[0261] 1.1 Model Preparation:
[0262] The mutant drug-resistant cells Ba/F3 LMNA-NTRK1-G595R in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested and re-suspending in serum-free culture medium to make the cell concentration at 6×10.sup.7-10×10.sup.7 cells/mL. The cell suspension was added with equal volume of Matrigel to make the final cell concentration at 3×10.sup.7-5×10.sup.7 cells/mL. The animal model was prepared by subcutaneously inoculating 0.1 mL of tumor cell suspension in the axilla of the forelimb of NuNu mice (female, 4-6 weeks, Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) in an amount of 3×10.sup.6-5×10.sup.6 cells/mouse.

Nude mice with appropriate tumor volume were selected and the mice were evenly divided into 7 groups of 3 mice (200-300 mm.sup.3) by tumor volume using a random number method.

The mixture was subjected to high-speed centrifugation at low temperature, and then the supernatant was taken for BCA protein quantification (procedure according to the BCA protein quantification kit (Qiagen, Cat. No. PA115-01)). Finally, after the protein concentration was adjusted to be uniform by lysate, loading buffer was added, and the mixture was boiled at 100° C. for 10 min.

[0274] Test Method
[0275] 1.1 Model Preparation
[0276] The cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected and re-suspending in serum-free culture medium to make the cell concentration at 6×10.sup.7-lox 10.sup.7 cells/mL. The cell suspension was added with equal volume of Matrigel to make the final cell concentration at 3×10.sup.7-5×10.sup.7 cells/mL. The animal model was established by subcutaneously inoculating 0.1 mL of tumor cell suspension in the axilla of the forelimb of NuNu mice (female, 4-6 weeks, Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) in an amount of 3×10.sup.6-5×10.sup.6 cells/mouse.
[0277] 1.2 Grouping
[0278] The maximum and the minimum tumor diameters of the xenografts in nude mice were measured using a vernier caliper, and the tumor volume (TV) was calculated according to the formula: V=½×a×b.sup.2, where a and b represent the maximum and minimum diameters of the tumor mass, respectively. Nude mice with appropriate tumor volume were selected and the mice were evenly divided into 7 groups of 6 mice (100-200 mm.sup.3) by tumor volume using a random number method.
[0279] 1.3 Observation of Indexes
[0280] Gavage administration was performed on the day of grouping according to animal weight at an administration volume of 10 mL/kg, LOXO-195 was formulated with 0.5% CMC-Na to the required administration solution, and compounds No. 4 and No. 10 were formulated with “3% DMSO+96% HP-β-CD (0.5 g/mL)+1% HCL” to the required administration solution. Tumor diameters were measured twice weekly and tumor volume was calculated. The specific indexes are as follows:
[0281] Animal weight: animals were weighed before dosing every morning and a weight loss of greater than 20% was defined as a drug toxic response (observed the day following the last administration);
[0282] Tumor volume (TV)=V=½×a×b.sup.2, where a and b represent the maximum and minimum diameters of the tumor mass, respectively (observed the day following the last administration);
[0283] Relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%): T/C (%)=TRTV/CRTV×100% (TRTV: administration group RTV, CRTV: control group RTV);
[0284] Tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI)=[1−(Ti−T0)/(Vi−V0)]×100%. (where Ti represents the mean tumor volume of a certain administration group on a certain day; TO represents the mean tumor volume of the administration group at the start of administration, Vi represents the mean tumor volume of the vehicle control group on a certain day (same day as Ti) and V0 represents the mean tumor volume of the vehicle control group at the start of administration);
[0285] Tumor inhibition rate: at the end of the test, the animals were executed by removing the cervical vertebrae. The tumor masses were peeled off and weighed, and photographed, the tumor inhibition rate was calculated according to the formula: tumor inhibition rate=(mean tumor weight of control group−mean tumor weight of administration group)/mean tumor weight of control group×100%.
