CAY10748 is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING; IC50= 0.3794 μM in a competition binding assay).1It activates STING in STING-expressing, but not STING knockout, THP-1 cells (EC50s = 0.287 and >100 μM, respectively, in a reporter assay). It induces phosphorylation of STING at the serine in position 366, as well as phosphorylation of TBK1 and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), indicating activation of the STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway. CAY10748 increases the secretion of IFN-β and the levels of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), and IL-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also reduces tumor growth in a CT26 murine colon cancer model when administered at a dose of 0.15, but not 1.5, mg/kg. 1.Xi, Q., Wang, M., Jia, W., et al.Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of amidobenzimidazole derivatives as stimulator of interferon genes (STING) receptor agonistsJ.

STING agonist C11 is an agonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway.1 It induces secretion of type I IFN from THF and MM6 cells when used at a concentration of 50 μM. STING agonist C11 induces phosphorylation of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and increases expression of IFIT1 and viperin, but not IL-1β, IL-6, or IL-8 in THF cells in a STING-dependent manner. It reduces viral titers of chikungunya, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, o'nyong-nyong, Mayaro, and Ross River viruses grown in THF cells (EC90s = 16.44, 16.7, 18.84, 25.19, and 22.57 μM, respectively), an effect that is dependent on the presence of STING and the IFN-α β receptor (IFNAR).References1.

TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 is a 6-aminopyrazolopyrimidine derivative and a potent, selective TBK1 and IKKε inhibitor with IC50 values of 13 nM and 59 nM, respectively. TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 shows 100- to 1000-fold less activity against other protein kinases including PDK1, PI3K family members and mTOR[1]. TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II; 96 hours; A549 andHCC44 cells) treatmentdisplays selective toxicity in TBK1-dependent cancer cell lines (IC50 of ~ 4.2 μM for H441 cells and IC50 of ~0.4 μM for A549 cells)[1].TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II; 0-2 μM; 30 minutes; HCC44 cells) treatment inhibits the AKT activity[1].TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 (Compound II) inhibits LPS-induced expression of IFNβ (IC50 =62 nM), and the IFNβ target genes IP10 (IC50 =78 nM) and Mx1 (IC50=20 nM). TBK1 IKKε-IN-4 effectively blocksTLR3-dependent IRF3 nuclear translocation in cells with an IC50 under 100 nM, but does not impair TNFR1-dependent p65 NFκB nuclear translocation with doses as high as 20 μM[1].
