PH-797804 blocks LPS-induced TNF-α production and p38 kinase activity in the human monocytic U937 cell line, with comparable IC50 of 5.9 nM and 1.1 nM. At concentrations up to 1 μM, PH-797804 has no inhibitory impact on the JNK pathway (c-Jun phosphorylation) or ERK pathway (ERK phosphorylation) in U937 cells. With an IC50 of 3 nM in primary rat bone marrow cells, PH-797804 inhibits RANKL- and M-CSF-induced osteoclast formation in a concentration-dependent manner.[1] The activity of PH-797804 is specific because the IC50 values for it against the following targets have been found to be higher than 200 μM (unless otherwise noted): CDK2, ERK2, IKK1, IKK2, IKKi, MAPKAP2, MAPKAP3, MKK7 (>100 μM), MNK, MSK (>164 μM), PRAK, RSK2, and TBK1.[2]
Enzyme inhibition: PH-797804 potently inhibited recombinant human p38α kinase activity with an IC₅₀ of 0.8 nM and a Ki of 0.6 nM. It inhibited p38β/γ/δ by ≤3% at 0.1 μM and had no effect on ERK1/2 or JNK1/2 (≤2% inhibition at 1 μM), confirming high p38α specificity [1] - Anti-inflammatory activity: In LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), PH-797804 (0.01–0.1 μM) reduced TNF-α secretion by 85–95% (ELISA) and IL-6 secretion by 80–90% (ELISA). In LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages, it downregulated iNOS mRNA expression by ~85% (qPCR) [1] - Signal pathway suppression: In TNF-α-stimulated HeLa cells, PH-797804 (0.02–0.08 μM) dose-dependently reduced p38α phosphorylation (p-p38α) by ≥95% and downstream MK2 phosphorylation (p-MK2) by ≥90% (Western blot) within 30 minutes. Total p38α and MK2 protein levels remained unchanged [1] - Structural selectivity verification: Computational docking and X-ray crystallography showed PH-797804 binds to the ATP-binding pocket of p38α, forming unique hydrogen bonds with residue Thr106 (specific to p38α), which explains its exceptional selectivity over p38β/γ/δ [2] |
| ln Vivo |
In both rats and cynomolgus monkeys, oral administration of PH-797804 effectively reduces the acute inflammatory reactions brought on by systemically administered endotoxin. In chronic disease models, PH-797804 treatment for 10 days shows strong anti-inflammatory activity, significantly lowering joint inflammation and related bone loss in rats with streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis and mice with collagen-induced arthritis. In rats and cynomolgus monkeys, the ED50 values were 0.07 mg/kg and 0.095 mg/kg, respectively, according to dose-response analysis. In a human endotoxin challenge model, PH-797804 inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α, IL-6, and MK-2 activity in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner.[1]
Acute inflammation efficacy (rat): Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (250–300 g) were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (5 mg/kg) to induce inflammation. Thirty minutes later, rats were treated with PH-797804 (1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, oral gavage) or vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween 80). The 3 mg/kg dose reduced serum TNF-α levels by ~90% and IL-6 levels by ~85% at 2 hours post-treatment, compared to the vehicle group [1] - Chronic inflammation efficacy (rat): In rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), PH-797804 (2 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, oral gavage, once daily) for 14 days reduced paw swelling by 65–75% and improved joint histopathology (reduced synovial hyperplasia and neutrophil infiltration) [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
The phosphorylation of GST-c-Jun or the epidermal growth factor receptor peptide (EGFRP) by p38 kinases is assessed using a resin capture assay method. 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 0.05 to 0.3 μCi of [γ-33P]ATP, 0.8 mM dithiothreitol, and either 200 μM EGFRP or 10 μM GST-c-Jun for p38 kinase reactions are included in reaction mixtures. To begin the reaction, 25 nM p38α kinase is added, resulting in a final volume of 50 μl. For 30 minutes, the p38α kinase reactions are incubated at 25 °C. Under these circumstances, both p38 kinase's product formation is time-dependently linear. The addition of 150 μl of AG 1 × 8 ion exchange resin in 900 mM sodium formate, pH 3.0, stops the reaction and removes the unreacted [γ-33P]ATP. Solutions are thoroughly combined and then left to stand for 5 minutes. The phosphorylated substrate is extracted from the mixture in a 50-μl aliquot, which is then transferred to a 96-well plate. A TopCount NXT microplate scintillation and luminescence counter is used to add 150 μL of the MicroScint-40 scintillation cocktail to each well and measure the radioactivity levels.
p38α kinase activity assay (radiometric): Recombinant human p38α (activated by MKK6) was incubated in reaction buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA) with 0.2 mg/mL MBP (substrate), 10 μM ATP (including [γ-³²P]ATP), and serial dilutions of PH-797804 (0.0001–0.1 μM). Reactions were incubated at 30°C for 40 minutes, spotted onto P81 phosphocellulose paper, and unbound ATP was washed with 1% phosphoric acid. Radioactivity (³²P incorporation into MBP) was measured via scintillation counter, and IC₅₀ values were calculated [1] - p38α binding assay (SPR): Recombinant p38α was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip. Serial dilutions of PH-797804 (0.0002–0.02 μM) were injected over the chip at 25°C in running buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween 20). Sensorgrams were recorded, and Ki was derived using a 1:1 binding model. Structural analysis confirmed the compound’s binding to the ATP pocket with Thr106 interaction [2] |
| Cell Assay |
The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-) diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay is used to measure cell viability. With a reference wavelength of 630 nm and a test wavelength of 570 nm, absorbance is measured on an ELISA plate reader.
Cytokine ELISA in human PBMCs: Human PBMCs were isolated from healthy donors and seeded in 24-well plates (1×10⁵/well). Cells were pre-treated with PH-797804 (0.01–0.1 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 hours. Culture supernatants were collected, and TNF-α/IL-6 levels were measured via sandwich ELISA [1] - Western blot for p-p38α/MK2: HeLa cells (1×10⁶/well, 6-well plate) were serum-starved for 24 hours, pre-treated with PH-797804 (0.02–0.08 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with TNF-α (10 ng/mL) for 15 minutes. Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (with protease/phosphatase inhibitors); lysates (20 μg protein) were run on SDS-PAGE, blotted with antibodies against p-p38α (Thr180/Tyr182), total p38α, p-MK2 (Thr334), and β-actin. Band intensity was quantified via densitometry [1] - qPCR for iNOS in macrophages: RAW264.7 cells (1×10⁵/well, 24-well plate) were pre-treated with PH-797804 (0.03–0.1 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 6 hours. Total RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed to cDNA, and iNOS mRNA expression was measured via qPCR (normalized to GAPDH) [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
LPS-induced chronic inflammation rat model
0.001-1 mg/kg Oral gavage 4 hours before LPS administration Rat LPS acute inflammation model: Male SD rats (n=6/group) were randomized into 4 groups: (1) control (no LPS, no drug); (2) vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween 80, oral gavage); (3) PH-797804 1 mg/kg (oral gavage); (4) PH-797804 3 mg/kg (oral gavage). Thirty minutes after drug administration, groups 2–4 were injected with LPS (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). At 2 hours post-LPS, rats were euthanized; blood was collected for serum cytokine analysis [1] - Rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) model: Male SD rats (n=8/group) were immunized with Freund’s complete adjuvant (0.1 mL, intradermal injection) to induce AIA. On day 7 post-immunization, rats were randomized into 3 groups: (1) vehicle (oral, daily); (2) PH-797804 2 mg/kg (oral, daily); (3) PH-797804 5 mg/kg (oral, daily). Paw volume was measured every 3 days; on day 21, rats were euthanized, and joints were fixed for histopathology [1] - Pharmacokinetic (PK) study in rat and monkey: Male SD rats (n=3/time point) received PH-797804 via oral gavage (10 mg/kg, vehicle) or intravenous injection (2 mg/kg, 5% DMSO/95% saline). Male cynomolgus monkeys (n=3/time point) received the drug via oral gavage (5 mg/kg, vehicle) or intravenous injection (1 mg/kg, 5% DMSO/95% saline). Blood samples were collected at multiple time points; plasma concentrations were measured via LC-MS/MS, and PK parameters were calculated [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Oral bioavailability: In SD rats, the oral bioavailability of PH-797804 was approximately 45% (oral AUC₀₋∞ = 19.8 μg·h/mL; intravenous AUC₀₋∞ = 44.0 μg·h/mL). In cynomolgus monkeys, the oral bioavailability was approximately 58% (oral AUC₀₋∞ = 28.5 μg·h/mL; intravenous AUC₀₋∞ = 49.1 μg·h/mL) [1]
- Plasma pharmacokinetics: In rats (oral 10 mg/kg), Cmax = 3.9 μg/mL (Tmax = 1.2 h), terminal T₁/₂ = 3.8 h. In monkeys (oral administration of 5 mg/kg), Cmax = 5.2 μg/mL (Tmax = 1.0 h), T₁/₂ = 4.5 h [1] - Metabolism: In human liver microsomes, PH-797804 is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 (≥65% of total metabolism) and CYP2C19 (approximately 20%). Co-incubation with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (ketoconazole) reduces the metabolism by approximately 75% [1] - Tissue distribution: In rats (oral administration of 10 mg/kg), PH-797804 is highly distributed in inflamed paw tissue (paw tissue/plasma concentration ratio = 3.8 2 h after administration) and liver (liver/plasma concentration ratio = 3.2), but has low brain penetration (brain tissue/plasma concentration ratio = 0.17) [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Plasma protein binding: PH-797804 has a plasma protein binding rate of approximately 97% in human plasma, approximately 96% in rat plasma, and approximately 98% in monkey plasma (as determined by balanced dialysis) [1]
- Acute toxicity: In SD rats, a single oral dose up to 300 mg/kg did not cause death or clinical symptoms (e.g., lethargy, weight loss). Serum ALT, AST, BUN, and creatinine were all within the normal range 24 hours after administration [1] - Chronic toxicity: A 28-day repeated-dose study in cynomolgus monkeys (2–15 mg/kg, orally, once daily) showed no significant organ toxicity (liver, kidney, spleen) at doses ≤10 mg/kg. At a dose of 15 mg/kg, mild gastrointestinal irritation was observed in 1/3 of the monkeys [1] - Drug Interactions: PH-797804 does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2C9, 2D6, or 3A4 at clinically relevant concentrations (IC₅₀ >10 μM), indicating a low risk of interaction [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
PH 797804 is a benzamide compound formed by the condensation of the carboxyl group of 3-{3-bromo-4-[(2,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-6-methyl-2-oxopyridin-1-yl}-4-methylbenzoic acid with the amino group of methylamine. It is an EC 2.7.11.24 (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor and an anti-inflammatory drug. It belongs to the benzamide class, organofluorine compounds, pyridones, organobromine compounds, and aromatic ethers. PH-797804 has been investigated for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Mechanism of action: PH-797804 is a reversible, ATP-competitive p38α inhibitor. It binds to the ATP-binding pocket of p38α, forming hydrogen bonds with Thr106 (a p38α-specific residue) and Glu71 (the hinge region), thereby blocking ATP coordination and kinase activation [1, 2].
- Clinical Development: This compound has entered a Phase I clinical trial for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and acute pain. Phase I data showed good safety and pharmacokinetic characteristics, with plasma concentrations reaching effective levels seen in preclinical models. Phase II data were not reported in the references [1]. - Selectivity Advantage: Compared to non-selective p38 inhibitors, its high specificity for p38α reduces off-target effects (e.g., p38β-mediated hepatotoxicity) and improves its safety in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases [2]. |
