PF 3644022

Uses

PF-3644022 is a potent freely reversible ATP-competitive compound that inhibits MK2 activity (Ki = 3 nM) with good selectivity when profiled against 200 human kinases. PF-3644022 is a benzothiophene inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 inhibits tumor necrosis factor α production and has oral anti-inflammatory efficacy in acute and chronic models of inflammation.

Biological Activity

pf-3644022 is a potent and selective mitogen-activated protein kinase (mapk)-activated protein kinase-2 (mk2) inhibitor (ki =3 nm). [1]pf-3644022 is the first oral mk2 inhibitor in both acute and chronic models of inflammation. pf-3644022 reversibly atp-competitive inhibits mk2 enzyme activity with good selectivity across 200 human kinases. [1]in the human u937 monocytic cell line or peripheral blood mononuclear cells, pf-3644022 potently inhibits tnf production with ic50 value of 160 nm. in lps-stimulated human whole blood, pf-3644022 blocks tnf and il-6 production with ic50 values of 1.6 and 10.3 μm, respectively. in u937 cells and blood, inhibition of tnf correlates closely with inhibition of phospho-heat shock protein 27, a target biomarker of mk2 activity. [1]in the rat lps-induced tnf model, pf-3644022 efficacy in the chronic inflammation model is strongly correlated with maintaining a cmin higher than the ec50 measured. pf-3644022 exhibits efficaciously oral activity and good pharmacokinetic parameters in both the chronic streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis model and the rat acute lps-induced tnf model.
