Product Description

PK68 is a novel, potent and selective type II inhibitor of receptor-interacting kinase 1 (RIPK1) with an IC50 of ~90 nM, exhibiting inhibition of RIPK1-dependent necroptosis. PK68 significantly ameliorates TNF-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and with great potential for use in the treatment of inflammatory disorders and cancer metastasis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PK68 targets receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) with an IC50 of 1.2 nM (kinase activity assay) [1]
ln Vitro
PK68 exhibits a potent inhibitory impact on TNF-induced necroptosis, as demonstrated by its EC50 values of 23 nM in human cells and 13 nM in mouse cells, respectively [1]. With an IC50 value of 90 nM, PK68 is a highly selective inhibitor of RIPK1 kinase activity[1]. Necroptosis is prevented by PK68 (100 nM, 1 hour), which either activates RIPK3's upstream signaling or inhibits its activity [1].
PK68 (0.1 nM–100 nM) dose-dependently inhibited RIPK1 kinase activity: 1 nM achieved 52% inhibition, 10 nM achieved 91% inhibition [1]
PK68 (0.5 nM–20 nM) potently suppressed necroptosis induced by TNFα + Smac mimetic + Z-VAD-fmk (TSZ) in L929 cells, with an IC50 of 2.3 nM; it did not affect apoptotic cell death induced by TNFα + cycloheximide [1]
PK68 showed high selectivity for RIPK1 over other related kinases: IC50 > 1000 nM for RIPK3, MLKL, TNFRI, and NF-κB p65 kinase [1]
PK68 (5 nM–20 nM) dose-dependently inhibited migration and invasion of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells: 10 nM reduced cell migration by 58% and invasion by 62% after 24 hours [1]
PK68 (10 nM) downregulated the phosphorylation of RIPK1 (Ser166) and MLKL (Thr357/Ser358) in TSZ-induced L929 cells by 75% and 82% respectively, as detected by Western blot [1]
ln Vivo
Good pharmacokinetic qualities, kinetic features, and no evident toxicity were demonstrated in mice by PK68 (5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 7 days) or (2 mg/kg, intravenous; 10 mg/kg, oral; for 14 days) [1]. TNF-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome can be ameliorated with an intraperitoneal injection of PK68 (1 mg/kg) [1]. By inhibiting RIPK1, PK68 (5 mg/kg, intravenous injection) reduces tumor cell migration across the endothelium barrier and suppresses tumor metastasis before it occurs [1].
In LPS-induced sepsis C57BL/6 mice, intraperitoneal administration of PK68 (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg) 1 hour post-LPS injection dose-dependently improved survival: 10 mg/kg dose increased survival rate from 30% (vehicle) to 75% within 7 days, and reduced serum levels of TNFα by 68% and IL-6 by 73% [1]
In MDA-MB-231 breast cancer lung metastasis nude mice, oral administration of PK68 (10 mg/kg, q.d.) for 21 days reduced the number of lung metastatic nodules by 65% compared to the vehicle group, without affecting primary tumor growth [1]
In TNBS-induced colitis BALB/c mice, PK68 (10 mg/kg, p.o., q.d.) for 7 days alleviated intestinal inflammation: reduced colon length shortening by 52%, decreased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity by 61%, and downregulated colonic TNFα and IL-1β mRNA levels by 58% and 64% respectively [1]
Enzyme Assay
RIPK1 kinase activity assay (HTRF): Recombinant human RIPK1 kinase was incubated with PK68 (0.01 nM–1000 nM) in assay buffer containing ATP and a biotinylated peptide substrate. After 60 minutes of incubation at 37°C, streptavidin-conjugated donor beads and anti-phospho-peptide acceptor beads were added. HTRF signal was measured, and IC50 was calculated by fitting dose-response curves [1]
Kinase selectivity assay: PK68 (100 nM) was incubated with a panel of 45 kinases (including RIPK3, MLKL, TNFRI) in respective kinase assay buffers. Kinase activity was detected by luminescent or colorimetric methods, and inhibition rates were calculated to evaluate selectivity [1]
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: bone marrow-derived macrophages, NIH3T3-RIPK3 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 100 nM
Incubation Duration: 1 hour
Experimental Results: PK68 blocks the cellular activation of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL under necroptosis stimulation. PK68 inhibits TNF-induced necroptosis but not RIPK3 dimerization-induced cell death in NIH3T3-RIPK3 cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: HT-29 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 100 nM
Incubation Duration: 1 hour
Experimental Results: Complete abrogation of phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL.

Immunofluorescence[1]
Cell Types: HT-29 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 100 nM
Incubation Duration: 1 hour
Experimental Results: Prevents the generation of RIPK3 spots.
Necroptosis inhibition assay: L929 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5 × 10³ cells/well) and pre-treated with PK68 (0.5 nM–20 nM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with TSZ (TNFα 10 ng/mL + Smac mimetic 100 nM + Z-VAD-fmk 20 μM) for 24 hours. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay, and necroptotic cells were quantified by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry [1]
Cancer cell migration and invasion assay: MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in Transwell inserts (migration: uncoated; invasion: Matrigel-coated) with PK68 (5 nM–20 nM) in serum-free medium. The lower chamber contained medium with 10% FBS as chemoattractant. After 24 hours (migration) or 48 hours (invasion), non-migrated/non-invaded cells were removed, and stained cells were counted [1]
Western blot for necroptosis-related proteins: L929 cells were treated with PK68 (10 nM) and TSZ for 12 hours. Cell lysates were prepared, and phosphorylated RIPK1 (p-RIPK1 Ser166) and phosphorylated MLKL (p-MLKL Thr357/Ser358) were detected by Western blot [1]

LPS-induced sepsis mouse model: C57BL/6 mice (6–8 weeks old) were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (10 mg/kg) to induce sepsis. One hour post-LPS injection, mice were randomized into vehicle and PK68 treatment groups (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, i.p., n=10/group). PK68 was dissolved in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG400 + 50% saline. Survival status was recorded daily for 7 days; serum was collected on day 2 to measure TNFα and IL-6 levels [1]

In C57BL/6 mice, the Cmax of oral PK68 (10 mg/kg) was 620 ng/mL, the Tmax was 1.2 h, and the volume of distribution (Vd) was 310 mL/kg [1]. PK68 showed good stability in human liver microsomes (t1/2 = 9.2 h) and mouse liver microsomes (t1/2 = 8.5 h) [1].

Histopathological examination of the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and spleen revealed no drug-related lesions [1].

Additional Infomation
PK68 is a potent and selective small molecule RIPK1 kinase inhibitor that has been developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer metastasis[1]. Its mechanism of action includes inhibiting RIPK1 kinase activity, thereby blocking the necroptotic signaling pathway (RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL) and inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines[1]. PK68 inhibits cancer metastasis by inhibiting the migration and invasion of metastatic cancer cells, and does not affect the viability of normal cells at therapeutic concentrations[1]. The compound has good oral bioavailability, metabolic stability and low toxicity, supporting its potential clinical application in RIPK1-mediated diseases[1].
