Why that species
Similar binding affinity to rabbit, monkey and human leukocytes; no binding to mouse, rat or guinea pig leukocytes
“MLN0002 bound with similar affinity to leukocytes from rabbits, monkeys, and humans, but not from mice, rats, or guinea pigs.”

Species: DART
Rabbit (embryo-fetal) and cynomolgus monkey (pre- and postnatal development)
“MLN0002 did not cause any adverse effect on embryofetal development in rabbits or on pre- and postnatal development in monkeys.”

Species: carcinogenicity
Not conducted (no pharmacological activity in mice and rats; ICH S6(R1))
“In accordance with ICH Guideline S6(R1), conventional carcinogenicity studies (i.e., rodent bioassays) have not been conducted with MLN0002 to assess its carcinogenic potential as it lacks pharmacological activity in mice and rats.”

Surrogate used in
Yes: murine homologue Act-1 used for in vitro carcinogenic-potential assessment in human tumor cells
“However, carcinogenic potential of Act-1 (murine homologue of MLN0002) was assessed in an in vitro study using human tumor cells that expressed”
