Uses
IKK-16 is a potential novel IκB kinase 2 (IKK2) inhibitor used in the treatment of various immune/inflammatory disorders.
Definition
ChEBI: [4-[[4-(1-benzothiophen-2-yl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]phenyl]-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-piperidinyl]methanone is a N-acylpiperidine and a member of benzamides.
Biological Activity
ikk-16 (ikk inhibitor vii) is a novel inhibitor of iκb kinase (ikk) with the ic50 values of 0.04μm, 0.2μm and 0.07μm for ikk2, ikk1 and ikk complex, respectively [1].ikk-16 (ikk inhibitor vii) is a 2-benzamido-pyrimidines and selective inhibitor of iκb kinase (ikk). ikk-16 has been reported to effectively inhibit tnfα release into plasma upon lps-challenge in the rat. in addition, ikk-16 has been found to be active at thioglycollate-induced peritonitis model in the mouse. furthermore, ikk-16 has revealed to be an orally bio-available in rats and mice, and have significant in vivo activity in an acute model of cytokine release [1].
in vivo
IKK 16 also demonstrates significant in vivo activity in an acute model of cytokine release. Both routes of administration of IKK 16 (30 mg/kg, sc) or orally (30 mg/kg, p.o) at the indicated dose results in a significant inhibition of 86% (sc) and 75% (p.o.). IKK 16(10 mg/kg, sc) is also active in the thioglycollate-induced peritonitis model in the mouse. The maximal inhibition of neutrophil extravasation in this model is about 50%[1]. Treatment of septic mice with IKK 16 (1 mg/kg body weight i.v.) results in a significantly increased degree of phosphorylation (P<0.05) of serine residues on Akt and eNOS in the liver[3].
IC 50
IKK2: 40 nM (IC50); IKK1: 200 nM (IC50); IKK: 70 nM (IC50); LRRK2: 50 nM (IC50)
