Description
JTE-607 (188791-09-5) inhibits inflammatory cytokine production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC’s) without causing immunosuppression: IC50’s = 11 nM (TNF-α), 5.9 nM (IL-1β), 8.8 nM (IL-6), 7.3 nM (IL-8), and 9.1 nM (IL-10).1?It displayed efficacy in a mouse model of septic shock.2?JTE-607 also showed inhibitory activity against acute myelogenous leukemia cell lines.3,4?Recently, the mechanism of action of JTE-607 (a pro-drug, with the active species being the free acid) has been found to be inhibition of pre-messenger RNA endonuclease Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor 3 (CPSF3).5,6?This prevents release of newly synthesized mRNA’s resulting in read-through transcription and the formation of DNA-RNA hybrid R-loop structures. Transcripts down-regulated by JTE-607 were related to DNA damage-based phenotype.
Uses
JTE 607 Dihydrochloride is a cytokine release inhibitor.
Definition
ChEBI: JTE-607 dihydrochloride is the dihydrochloride salt of JTE-607. It is a cytokine inhibitor which suppresses the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL-1beta), IL-6, IL-8, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). It acts as a pro-drug which is cleaved by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) to its active free acid form, which then binds to cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 3 (CPSF3). It has a role as an anti-inflammatory agent, an antineoplastic agent, an apoptosis inducer, a prodrug, a cardioprotective agent and a CPSF3 inhibitor. It contains a JTE-607(2+).
