CZC-25146 is a potent inhibitor of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2; IC50 = 4.76 nM for the human recombinant kinase). It also inhibits LRRK2G2019S, a mutant linked to neurotoxicity and Parkinson’s disease, with an IC50 value of 6.87 nM. CZC-25146 is selective for LRRK2 over a panel of kinases in HeLa cell lysates, Jurkat/Ramos mixed cell lysates, as well as whole mouse brain extracts (IC50s = >2 μM). It reduces LRRK2G2019S-induced cell injury in rat primary cortical neurons.
CZC-25146 is a compound that acts as an inhibitor of LRRK2, a factor in the expression of Parkinsons’s disease, and is ATP-competitive.
