OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics of small molecule inhibitor SYHA1809 in Beagle dogs. METHODS LC-MS/MS method was adopted. Beagle dogs were randomly divided into single intravenous administration group (3.75 mg/kg), single low-dose intragastric administration group (3.75 mg/kg), single medium-dose intragastric administration group (7.5 mg/kg), single high-dose intragastric administration group (15 mg/kg) and multiple intragastric administration group (7.5 mg/kg, once a day, for 7 consecutive days), with 6 dogs in each group, half male and half female. The plasma samples of Beagle dogs were collected in each group according to the set time point, and underwent LC-MS/MS quantitative analysis after preprocessing. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using Phoenix WinNonlin 8.0 software using obtained data. RESULTS After intravenous injection, CL of SYHA1809 in Beagle dogs was (2.70±0.48) mL/(min·kg), steady-state distribution volume was 0.757 L/kg, and t1/2 was (3.35±1.36) h; after single intragastric administration of low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose of SYHA1809, average tmax was (0.53±0.02) h, and the blood drug concentration increased with the increase of dose; after single intragastric administration of 3.75 mg/kg SYHA1809, the absolute bioavailability was 83.5%; within the dose range of 3.75-15 mg/kg, the increase in cmax and AUC of SYHA1809 was positively correlated with the dose; after intragastric administration of 7.5 mg/kg SYHA1809 for 7 consecutive days, the pharmacokinetic parameters of SYHA1809 were comparable to those of a single intragastric administration of the same dose, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS SYHA1809 is absorbed rapidly in Beagle dogs, shows the dose-dependent blood concentration, high bioavailability, no obvious accumulation after multiple intragastric administration, and good pharmacokinetic behavior.

Malignant tumor is a serious and difficult disease threatening human health, which has a high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in improving the therapeutic effect of malignant tumors and alleviating adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi deficiency and blood stasis are important pathogeneses in the development of malignant tumors, and the method of supplementing Qi and activating blood is an effective strategy for treating malignant tumors. Astragali Radix, sweet in taste and warm in nature, has effects of tonifying Qi and rising Yang, strengthening the exterior and reducing sweat, promoting fluid and nourishing blood. Curcumae Rhizoma, acrid and bitter in taste and warm in nature, has the effects of promoting Qi and breaking blood stasis, eliminating mass, and relieving pain. Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma, as the classic herb pair of invigorating Qi and activating blood, has a clear effect on inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma contains astragalus polysaccharide, astragaloside, calycosin, formononetin, curcumin, β-elemene, curcumenol, curcumenone, curcumendione, gemacrone, and other anti-tumor active ingredients. It can significantly inhibit the occurrence and development of liver cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, and other cancers and has the advantages of superposition effect, synergistic complementarity, and increased dissolution compared with single herb and monomer of Chinese traditional herbs and has been widely valued in the field of TCM anti-cancer. Its anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, promotion of tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy, anti-invasion and metastasis, regulation of immune function, and enhancement of anti-tumor drug sensitivity. By combining Chinese and foreign literature, the compatibility effect and anti-tumor mechanism of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma were summarized, and then scientific compatibility of these two herbs was expounded, in order to provide a useful reference for clinical application and future research of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).
