BLZ945, also named as 4-[2((1R,2R)-2-Hydroxycyclohexylamino)-benzothiazol-6-yloxyl]-pyridine- 2-carboxylic acid methylamide , is a small molecule inhibitor of CSF-1R kinase with IC50 value of 1.2 nM. [2]
CSF-1R is the receptor for macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) which mediates the biological effects of this cytokine. The main biological effects of CSF-1R signaling are differentiation, proliferation, migration and survival of precursor macrophages and osteoclasts from the monocytic lineage [1]. 
BLZ945 has the potential to treat an array of diseases associated with normal and deregulated function of precursor macrophages and osteoclasts from the monocytic lineage. [14C]BLZ945 metabolites were kinetically and structurally characterized from an in vitro across species comparison study using human hepatocytes and microsomes. Both compounds BLZ945 and M9 have significant anti-proliferative activity against the M-CSF dependent cell line MNFS-60 with EC50 of 71 and 140 mM, respectively. The biotransformation of BLZ945 in human liver micro-omes and recombinant cytochromes occurred predominantly via oxidative routes with also a secondary reductive pathway. [2]
BLZ945 decreased the growth of malignant cells in the mouse mammary tumor virus-driven polyomavirus middle T antigen (MMTV-PyMT) model of mammary carcinogenesis. BLZ945 prevented tumor progression in the keratin 14-expressing human papillomavirus type 16 (K14-HPV-16) transgenic model of cervical carcinogenesis. [3]
