Potent BRD9 degrader. Selectively binds BRD9 and elicits near complete degradation of BRD9 at nanomolar concentrations. Inhibits growth of synovial sarcoma cells in vitro and tumor progression in a synovial sarcoma xenograft mouse model.
AS1940477 is p38 MAPK inhibitor. AS1940477 inhibited the enzymatic activity of recombinant p38α and β isoforms but showed no effect against other 100 protein kinases including p38γ and δ isoforms. In human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, AS1940477 inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or phytohemagglutinin A (PHA)-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 at low concentrations (LPS/TNFα, IC(50)=0.45n M; PHA/TNFα, IC(50)=0.40 nM). In addition, equivalent concentrations of AS1940477 that inhibited cytokine production also inhibited TNFα- and IL-1 β-induced production of IL-6, PGE(2), and MMP-3 in human synovial stromal cells. AS1940477 was also found to potently inhibit TNF production in whole blood (IC(50)=12 nM) and effectively inhibited TNFα production induced by systemically administered LPS in rats at less than 0.1mg/kg (ED(50)=0.053 mg/kg) with an anti-inflammatory effect lasting for 20h after oral administration. Overall, this stu......
AGG-523 is an aggrecanase specific inhibitor that has been shown to attenuate increases in synovial fluid ARG-aggrecan levels following surgically-induced joint instability in the rat MT model. Pharmacologic inhibition of aggrecanase activity in humans using AGG-523 may be an effective treatment for slowing cartilage degradation following joint injury.
BE-16627B is a novel metalloproteinase (MP) inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces sp. BE16627B selectively inhibited MPs such as human stromelysin and 92 kD gelatinase. After the cells were cultured with BE16627B for 5 days, BE16627B inhibited MP activity in the primary culture supernatants from synovial cells in a dose-dependent fashion without showing apparent cytotoxicity or affecting the production and secretion of MPs. Its IC50 for active collagenolysis before activation by trypsin was 25 microM.
1,2-Dinonadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DNPC), a saturated phospholipid, serves as a standard in quantifying phosphatidylcholines in human synovial fluid and has been utilized in researching lipid bilayer phase transition dynamics.
