Characterization of covalent binding of tyrosine kinase inhibitors to plasma proteins
Abstract
Eight covalent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were investigated to determine the characteristics of their covalent binding to plasma proteins. The data revealed that their covalent binding to plasma proteins is of species difference. In addition to the reports on neratinib and pyrotinib, osimertinib, alflutinib, AST5902, and ibrutinib were confirmed to covalently bind to the Lys-190 of human serum albumin (HSA). Molecular docking was used to simulate the binding mode of TKIs to HSA. The results exhibited the non-covalent interactions between covalent TKIs and HSA, which stabilize the TKIs-HSA complex and explain the selectivity of covalent binding. The t 1/2 values of TKIs that are covalently bound to HSA or human plasma proteins were studied in vitro, and the features highly correlated with the t 1/2 were determined by quantitative calculations and linear modeling. Reversibility of the covalent binding and the factors affecting the process of reversibility were evaluated. In conclusion, acrylamide moiety of covalent TKIs can covalently bind to lysine residue of HSA, most of which were determined to be Lys-190. The covalent binding is of species difference, especially between animal and human. Except for osimertinib, covalent binding between TKIs and HSA are reversible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
