AS2863619 targets cyclin-dependent kinases 8 and 19 (CDK8 and CDK19). The compound inhibits CDK8 with an IC50 of 0.61 nM and CDK19 with an IC50 of 4.28 nM. CDK8 and CDK19 are components of the Mediator complex, which regulates RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription. By inhibiting CDK8/19, AS2863619 modulates gene expression programs that are dependent on Mediator complex function. One of the key effects of CDK8/19 inhibition is the induction of Foxp3 expression in Tconv cells, which promotes their differentiation into Tregs. The compound is a potent Foxp3 inducer with an EC50 of 32.5 nM. |

| ln Vitro |
Treatment with AS2863619 (1 μM; 22 hours; mouse CD4+ T cells) reduces serine phosphorylation of STAT5b's PSP motif to around 40% while increasing tyrosine phosphorylation in the C-terminal domain to approximately 160% of control-treated samples[1].
AS2863619 has demonstrated potent in vitro activity as a CDK8/19 inhibitor and Foxp3 inducer. The compound inhibits CDK8 with an IC50 of 0.61 nM and CDK19 with an IC50 of 4.28 nM. In Tconv cells, AS2863619 induces Foxp3 expression with an EC50 of 32.5 nM. The induction of Foxp3 leads to the transdifferentiation of Tconv cells into Tregs, which are characterized by their immunosuppressive function and expression of Treg markers such as CD25 and CTLA-4. The compound’s ability to induce Tregs makes it a promising tool for studying immune regulation and for developing therapies for autoimmune diseases and transplantation. |
| ln Vivo |
After sensitization to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), mice treated with AS2863619 (30 mg/kg; oral administration; daily; for 2 weeks) showed reduced levels of secondary response, milder infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin, and lower ratios of interferon-γ+ (IFN-γ+) cells in a skin contact hypersensitivity model when compared to vehicle-treated control mice. AS2863619-induced suppression is eliminated by treg depletion prior to the subsequent reaction being elicited. Mice treated with AS2863619 and sensitized to DNFB exhibit a particular increase in KLRG1+ Foxp3+ T cells[1].
AS2863619 has been evaluated in animal models. Oral administration of AS2863619 in a SARS-CoV-2 infected mouse model did not markedly improve early weight loss, gross lung inflammatory scores, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) viral RNA levels, or histopathological findings. However, the compound’s ability to induce Tregs suggests that it could have therapeutic applications in other disease models where immune regulation is beneficial. Further studies would be needed to evaluate the efficacy of AS2863619 in autoimmune disease models or transplantation models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The kinase inhibitory activity of AS2863619 can be assessed using in vitro kinase assays. In a typical assay, recombinant CDK8 or CDK19 kinase is incubated with a peptide substrate, ATP, and varying concentrations of AS2863619. The incorporation of phosphate into the substrate is measured, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is calculated from dose-response curves. The IC50 for CDK8 inhibition is 0.61 nM, and the IC50 for CDK19 inhibition is 4.28 nM. The selectivity of AS2863619 against a panel of other kinases can be assessed using kinase profiling services to determine its off-target effects.

| Cell Assay |
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: Mouse CD4+ T cells Tested Concentrations: 1 μM Incubation Duration: 22 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Suppressed serine phosphorylation of the PSP motif of STAT5b to ~40% while enhancing tyrosine phosphorylation in the C-terminal domain to ~160% of control-treated samples. The cellular activity of AS2863619 is assessed using primary Tconv cells or T cell lines. Cells are treated with AS2863619 at varying concentrations in the presence of TGF-β1 and IL-2, which are required for Treg differentiation. Foxp3 expression is assessed by flow cytometry using intracellular staining with anti-Foxp3 antibodies. The induction of other Treg markers, such as CD25 and CTLA-4, is also assessed by flow cytometry. The suppressive function of the induced Tregs is assessed by co-culture assays with effector T cells. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Mice with DNFB-induced contact skin hypersensitivity[1]
Doses: 30 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral administration; daily; for 2 weeks Experimental Results: The degree of the secondary response, with milder infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin and diminished ratios of interferon-γ+ (IFN-γ+) cells. AS2863619 has been evaluated in a SARS-CoV-2 infected mouse model. Mice were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated with AS2863619 by oral administration. The effects of the compound on weight loss, lung inflammation, viral RNA levels, and histopathological findings were assessed. The compound did not markedly improve these parameters in this model. Future studies may involve the use of autoimmune disease models, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) or colitis models, to assess the efficacy of AS2863619 in inducing Tregs and suppressing inflammation. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
AS2863619 is described as orally bioavailable, suggesting that it has favorable pharmacokinetic properties. The compound is a small molecule that can be administered orally. Further studies would be needed to characterize the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of AS2863619, including plasma protein binding, clearance, half-life, and tissue distribution.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicity data for AS2863619 has been published in the available literature. As a research compound, AS2863619 has not been subjected to comprehensive toxicology studies. The mechanism of action, which involves the inhibition of CDK8/19 and the induction of Tregs, could have off-target effects on the immune system or on other cellular processes that depend on Mediator complex function. Further studies would be needed to assess the safety profile of AS2863619.
