Negative in Ames, in vitro human lymphocyte cytogenetic and in vivo rat micronucleus assays
“Selinexor was not mutagenic in vitro in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in both the in vitro cytogenetic assay in human lymphocytes or in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay.”

Reproductive & developmental
Rat EFD: reduced fetal weight and delayed or incomplete ossification at >=0.75 mg/kg/day
“Adverse developmental outcomes occurred at ≥ 0.75 mg/kg/day and included alterations to growth (e.g., fetal weights in the 0.75 and 2 mg/kg/day groups were 13.5% and 32.4% lower than controls) and structural abnormalities (such as incomplete or delayed ossification of sternebra(e) and/or vertebral arches, and/or unossified and bent ribs).”

Safety pharmacology
hERG IC50 20.6 μM (HEK293 patch clamp)
“Selinexor was evaluated for its ability to inhibit the hERG channel (IC50 = 20.6 μM) using whole cell patch clamp in stably-transfected HEK293 cells (Study: KS-0055).”

hERG / QT
hERG IC50 20.6 µM; >250x human free Cmax at 80 mg; no ECG effects in monkeys
“The IC50 for the inhibitory effect of selinexor on hERG potassium current was 20.6 µM (Hill coefficient=1.1). The Applicant estimated >250 times safety margins based on the human free unbound Cmax following an 80 mg dose”
Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
