Uses
Potent, cell permeable and ATP-competitive inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI(3)Kγ). Exhibits selectivity over other PI(3)K isoforms.
Definition
ChEBI: (5Z)-5-(quinoxalin-6-ylmethylidene)-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione is a quinoxaline derivative that is quinoxaline in which the hydrogen at position 6 is replaced by a (2,4-dioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-5-ylidene)methyl group. It is a potent inhibitor of the PI3Kgamma, with an IC50 of 8 nM and inhibits the progression of joint inflammation and damage in both lymphocyte-independent and dependent mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis. It has a role as an EC 2.7.1.137 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent and an antirheumatic drug. It is a quinoxaline derivative and a member of thiazolidinediones.
Biological Activity
Potent and selective inhibitor of PI 3-kinase γ (PI3K γ ) (IC 50 = 8 nM). Displays 30-fold selectivity over PI3K δ and PI3K β and 7.5-fold selectivity over PI3K α . Suppresses the progression of joint inflammation and damage in both lymphocyte-independent and lymphocyte-dependent mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis. Orally active and ATP-competitive.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AS605240 inhibits human recombinant phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) γ, α, β, and δ by competing with adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It plays a role in protecting injury following ischemic stroke. AS605240 also inhibits the activation of astrocytes under the influence of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R). It reduces collagen deposition and prevents lung inflammation. AS605240 also inhibits the increase of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression instigated by bleomycin. It is effective in preventing pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and T lymphocytes infiltration into lungs.
