Uses
S18-000003 is a potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-gamma-t (RORγt), with an IC50 of <30 nM towards human RORγt in competitive binding assays. S18-000003 shows selectivity for RORγt over other ROR family members (IC50>10 μM). S18-000003 can be used for the research of psoriasis with low risk of thymic aberrations[1][2].
in vivo
S18-000003 (30-100 mg/kg; p.o.) inhibits IL-17 production in the skin of IL-23-treated mice in a dose-dependent manner[1].
S18-000003 (0.1-8%; 100mL; topically administration once daily for 14 days) ameliorates psoriasis-like lesions in TPA-induced K14.Stat3C transgenic mice, and has little impact on the thymus[2].
S18-000003 (0.5 mg/kg; i.v.) exhibits the half-life (3.2 h), AUC (1930 ng h/mL), CLtot (4.33 mL/min/kg) and Vdss in rats[1].
S18-000003 (1 mg/kg; p.o.) exhibits the oral bioavailability (54.5%), Cmax (185 ng/mL), AUC (2110 ng h/mL) and Tmax (4 h) in rats[1].
