GW590735 is a potent and selective agonist of PPARα with an EC50 value of 4 nM for the expression a GAL4-responsive reporter gene and at least 500-fold selectivity versus PPARγ and PPARδ. GW590735 significantly increased HDL cholesterol, decreased LDL and VLDL cholesterol, and significantly reduced triglycerides. Maximal increases in HDL cholesterol were 37%, 53%, and 84% with fenofibrate, torcetrapib, and GW590735, respectively.
BMS-986251 is a potent and specific RORγt inverse agonist that exerts its action via oral administration. It shows an EC 50 of 12 nM for RORγt GAL4. In human whole blood assay, BMS-986251 effectively inhibits IL-17 with an EC 50 of 24 nM. Furthermore, BMS-986251 exhibits strong therapeutic effects in mouse acanthosis and Imiquimod-induced models, which are commonly used preclinical models for psoriasis.
