[Effect of TEB-415, a Derivative of Imatinib, on Multiple Myeloma].

To investigate the growth inhibitory effect of Imatinib derivative TEB-415 on various multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, such as U226, H929, RPMI8226, MM1R and MM1S.TEB-415, a derivative of Imatinib was synthesized by modifying the chemical structure of Imatinib. MM cell lines (U226, H929, RPMI8226, MM1R and MM1S) were treated with TEB-415, Imatini and Bortezomib of various concentrations. Cells were grown for 72 hours and the growth rate was measured by CCK-8 method, cell morphology was observed and the IC50 was calculated.TEB-415 could inhibit H929 and RPMI8226 growth significantly. When the concentration of TEB-415 was <0.1 nmol/L, >50% H929 cells died. The IC50 of Imatinib was 0.123 mol/L while the IC50 of Bortezomib was 0.03 nmol/L. In RPMI8226 cell line, when the concentration of TEB-415 was 11.9 mol/L, more than 50% of cells died. In contrast, when RPMI8266 were treated with Imatinib of the concentration of 12.8 mol/L, cells grew normally.In comparison to Imatinib, TEB-415, a derivative of Imatinib, can kill H929 MM cells much effectively, its effecacy is only inferior to Bortezomib. RPMI8226, an MM cell line is insensitive to Imatinib, but still sensitive to TEB-415 and its growth can be inhibited by TEB-415.
