| Targets |
GSK-2556286 targets Rv1625c, a membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It acts as an agonist of Rv1625c, leading to increased intracellular cAMP levels and reduced cholesterol metabolism in the bacteria. The compound requires the presence of cholesterol for its activity, as it inhibits Mtb in a cholesterol-dependent manner. This unique mechanism distinguishes it from conventional anti-TB agents that target cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. The compound also inhibits the growth of human macrophages with an IC50 of 0.07 μM.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, GSK-2556286 inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis inside infected macrophages with an IC50 of 0.07 μM in THP-1 cells in the presence of cholesterol. In axenic culture, the compound requires cholesterol to demonstrate activity, with IC50 values of 2.12 and 0.71 μM in H37Rv and Erdman strains respectively, whereas IC50 values in glucose medium are >125 and >50 μM respectively. At 5 μM for 24 hours, GSK-2556286 increases intracellular cAMP levels approximately 50-fold in Mtb lysates when Rv1625c is expressed. At 10 μM, it reduces 14CO2 release from 14C-cholesterol by 90% and decreases propionyl-CoA levels in cholesterol-cultured bacteria.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, GSK-2556286 shows significant bactericidal activity in mouse models of TB infection. In an acute TB infection mouse model, oral administration at 0.3-500 mg/kg for 8 consecutive days showed greatest effect at 200 mg/kg. In chronic TB infection models using BALB/c and C3HeB/FeJ mice, oral dosing at 10-200 mg/kg, 5 days per week for 4 weeks, demonstrated significant bactericidal activity, with maximal effect achieved at approximately 10 mg/kg. The compound also shows increased efficacy when coadministered with other agents. It is effective against MDR, XDR, and drug-sensitive TB strains.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for GSK-2556286 typically involve assessing its activity on Rv1625c, the membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Membrane fractions from Mtb expressing Rv1625c are incubated with the compound and ATP substrate. cAMP production is measured using a competitive immunoassay or radiometric assay. The EC50 for adenylyl cyclase activation can be determined from dose-response curves. Cholesterol dependence can be assessed by comparing activity in media with and without cholesterol supplementation. Binding affinity to Rv1625c can be evaluated using surface plasmon resonance or isothermal titration calorimetry.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for GSK-2556286 use THP-1 human macrophage cells infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv strain). Cells are cultured in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and differentiated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Infected macrophages are treated with various concentrations of the compound (typically 0.001-10 μM) for 3-7 days. Bacterial survival is assessed by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting after cell lysis, or by GFP fluorescence quantification. Cholesterol dependence is evaluated by comparing activity in cholesterol-supplemented versus glucose-only media. Cytotoxicity is assessed using LDH release or MTT assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for GSK-2556286 use BALB/c and C3HeB/FeJ mouse models of TB infection. Mice are infected intranasally or intravenously with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound is administered orally (p.o.) at doses ranging from 0.3 to 500 mg/kg, typically once daily or 5 days per week for 4-8 weeks. Efficacy is assessed by bacterial load (CFU) in lungs and spleen, histopathological analysis of granuloma formation, and survival rates. Pharmacodynamic endpoints include measurement of cAMP levels in lung tissue and assessment of cholesterol metabolism markers.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of GSK-2556286: The compound is orally active and shows good bioavailability. It is soluble in DMSO (3.33 mg/mL, 10.11 mM) with warming to 60°C. The compound acts via Rv1625c, increasing cAMP levels. In vivo PK parameters in mice: following oral administration, the compound shows dose-dependent exposure. Cmax and AUC increase with dose. The compound distributes to lung tissue, achieving concentrations above the MIC. Elimination half-life and metabolic stability data are reported in preclinical studies. The compound is metabolized primarily in the liver.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of GSK-2556286 shows low cytotoxicity. In Vero cells, the IC50 is greater than 64 μg/mL, indicating a favorable selectivity index. In human macrophages, the compound inhibits growth with an IC50 of 0.07 μM. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use. Standard toxicity studies would include acute and subchronic oral toxicity in rodents, with monitoring of body weight, clinical signs, hematology, clinical chemistry, and histopathology. No specific genotoxicity or carcinogenicity data are reported in the available literature.

| Additional Infomation |
GSK-2556286 (GSK286) is an orally active, cholesterol-dependent inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a novel mechanism of action targeting Rv1625c, a membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase. It was developed by GlaxoSmithKline as an investigational anti-tuberculosis agent. The compound shows efficacy against multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and drug-sensitive TB strains. Its unique cholesterol-dependent activity and novel target make it a promising candidate for TB drug development. The compound is currently in preclinical or early clinical research stages and is not yet approved for clinical use. It is available for research use only.
