GSK 525762A

Описание

The bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family of proteins, including BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4, affect inflammatory gene expression by controlling the assembly of histone acetylation-dependent chromatin complexes. I-BET762 is a synthetic compound which interacts with BET proteins with high-affinity (K_d = 32.5-42.5 nM). It blocks binding of BET proteins with acetylated histones, disrupting the formation of chromatin complexes involved in the expression of specific inflammatory genes in activated macrophages. Through these actions, I-BET762 provides protection against bacteria-induced sepsis and lipopolysaccharide-triggered endotoxic shock.

Использование

GSK 525762A, is a BET Bromodomain Inhibitor, which is now in clinical development. BET bromodomains have emerged as promising drug targets for treatment of cancers, inflammatory diseases, and other medical conditions.

Биохимия/физиол Действия

I-BET762 possesses anti-inflammatory property by controlling the pro-inflammatory gene expression. I-BET762 hinders the MYC (proto-oncogene) expression in cellular models. This action of I-BET762 might serve as an effective therapy in treating prostate cancer.
