BMS-986251 is antagonistic against additional nuclear receptors (PXR: EC50>5 μM; LXRα: EC50>7.5 μM; LXRβ: EC50>7.5 μM) as well as members of the ROR family (RORα GAL4: EC50>10 μM; RORβ GAL4: EC50>10 μM). None of the CYPs are inhibited by BMS-986251[1].
In a RORγt GAL4 reporter assay (Jurkat cell line), BMS-986251 exhibited potent inverse agonist activity with an EC₅₀ of 12 ± 6 nM [1]. In an IL-17 human whole blood assay, BMS-986251 inhibited IL-17 production with an EC₅₀ of 24 ± 6 nM [1]. In a mouse Th17 reporter assay, BMS-986251 showed an EC₅₀ of 11 ± 2 nM, correlating well with human values [1]. BMS-986251 demonstrated high selectivity for RORγt over other ROR family members, with EC₅₀ values >10,000 nM for both RORα and RORβ in GAL4 reporter assays [1]. It also showed selectivity against other nuclear receptors, with EC₅₀ values >5000 nM for PXR, >7500 nM for LXRα, and >7500 nM for LXRβ [1]. In Caco-2 permeability assays, BMS-986251 demonstrated good permeability with an A-B transport rate of 240 nm/s and an efflux ratio of 0.5, indicating low active efflux [1]. BMS-986251 did not inhibit the tested cytochrome P450 enzymes, with IC₅₀ values >20 μM for CYP 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 (BFC substrate) [1]. The compound exhibited excellent stability in liver microsomes from human, mouse, and rat, with half-life >120 minutes across all three species [1]. |
| ln Vivo |
Ear thickness is decreased by BMS-986251 (5–45 mg/kg; oral; twice daily until day 9)[1]. Orally administered once daily, BMS-986251 (0.13, 0.79, 4.76 mg/kg) exhibits a dose-dependent decrease in the amount of IL-17F generated in naïve C57BL/6 female mice (7-9 weeks)[1]. For IV usage in mice, BMS-986251 (2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg) has a T1/2 of 7.7 hours, a CL of 2.7 mL/min·kg, and a Vss of 1.9 L/kg[1].
IL-2/IL-23 Stimulated Mouse Pharmacodynamic Model: In female C57BL/6 mice, oral administration of BMS-986251 (0.13, 0.79, and 4.76 mg/kg, once daily) resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of IL-17F production in serum. The vehicle was 5% NMP, 76% PEG400, and 19% TPGS [1]. Mouse Acanthosis Model (Psoriasis Model): In C57BL/6 female mice, IL-23 was injected into the right ear every other day for 9 days to induce acanthosis. Oral administration of BMS-986251 (twice daily) significantly reduced ear thickness compared to the vehicle control, demonstrating robust efficacy comparable to a human anti-IL-23 positive control [1]. Imiquimod (IMQ)-Induced Mouse Model: BMS-986251 was evaluated in the IMQ-induced mouse model of skin inflammation, where it demonstrated robust efficacy (data shown in Figure 5) [1]. |
| Enzyme Assay |
RORγt GAL4 Reporter Assay: This assay was used to evaluate the inverse agonist activity of compounds against RORγt in a Jurkat cell line. Cells were transfected with a construct containing the GAL4 DNA-binding domain fused to the RORγt ligand-binding domain and a luciferase reporter gene. After 24 hours, compounds were added, and luciferase activity was measured after an additional 18-hour incubation to determine EC₅₀ values [1].
|
| Cell Assay |
IL-17 Human Whole Blood Assay: Human whole blood was collected and stimulated with appropriate activators to induce IL-17 production. Compounds were added at various concentrations, and after incubation, IL-17 levels were measured to determine the EC₅₀ for inhibition [1].
Mouse Th17 Assay: A mouse reporter assay was used to evaluate the activity of BMS-986251 against mouse RORγt. The EC₅₀ was determined to be 11 ± 2 nM, showing good correlation with human activity [1]. Caco-2 Permeability Assay: Caco-2 cell monolayers were used to assess the permeability of BMS-986251. The compound was added to the apical side, and transport to the basolateral side was measured. The efflux ratio was calculated as the ratio of basolateral-to-apical transport over apical-to-basolateral transport [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 female mice with acanthosis[1]
Doses: 5, 15, 45 mg /kg Route of Administration: po (oral gavage) twice (two times) daily until day 9 Experimental Results: Resulted in decreased ear thickness and Dramatically reduces imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin thickening. Animal/Disease Models: Mouse or rat[1] Doses: 2 mg/kg of IV and 4 mg /kg of PO (pharmacokinetic/PK Analysis) Route of Administration: IV or PO Experimental Results: Had a T1/2 of 7.7 hrs (hours), a CL of 2.7 mL/min·kg, and a Vss of 1.9 L/kg for IV in mouse. Had a Cmax of 4.8 μM and an AUC of 37 μM·h for PO in mouse. Had a T1/2 of 11 hrs (hours), a CL of 1.3 mL/min·kg, and a Vss of 1.25 L/kg for IV in rat. Had a Cmax of 4.7 μM and an AUC of 64 μM·h for PO in rat. IL-2/IL-23 Stimulated Mouse PD Model: Female C57BL/6 mice (7-9 weeks old) were used. IL-2 (5 μg/mouse) was injected intraperitoneally at -24, 0, and 23 hours; IL-2 (10 μg/mouse) was also injected at 7 hours. IL-23 (1 μg/mouse) was injected intraperitoneally at 0, 7, and 23 hours. BMS-986251 was dosed orally once daily at 0.13, 0.79, and 4.76 mg/kg, 30 minutes prior to the 0-hour time point. The vehicle was 5% NMP, 76% PEG400, and 19% TPGS. Blood was collected at the 30-hour time point for exposure and serum IL-17F analysis [1]. Mouse Acanthosis Model: Female C57BL/6 mice were injected with recombinant humanized IL-23 into the right ear every other day for 9 days. Ear thickness was measured on day 0 (baseline) and then every other day prior to the next injection. BMS-986251 was dosed orally approximately 2 hours before the first IL-23 injection and continued twice daily until day 9. The placebo group received vehicle, and a human anti-IL-23 antibody was administered subcutaneously as a positive control [1]. Mouse PK Studies: For oral pharmacokinetic studies, Balb/c mice were dosed at 10 mg/kg PO. The vehicle was 5% NMP, 76% PEG400, and 19% TPGS. Values are means from three mice [1]. Preclinical PK Studies: For pharmacokinetic studies across species, BMS-986251 was administered intravenously and orally to mice (2 mg/kg iv, 4 mg/kg po), rats (2 mg/kg iv, 4 mg/kg po), dogs (1 mg/kg iv, 1 mg/kg po), and cynomolgus monkeys (1 mg/kg iv, 1 mg/kg po). Values are means from three or more animals [1]. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Mouse PK: In Balb/c mice dosed orally at 10 mg/kg, BMS-986251 showed Cmax of 11 ± 8 μM, AUC₂₄ₕ of 68 ± 50 μM·h, and C₂₄ₕ of 0.52 ± 0.13 μM [1].
Cross-Species PK: BMS-986251 demonstrated excellent oral bioavailability across species: ~100% in mouse (2 mg/kg iv, 4 mg/kg po), 94% in rat (2 mg/kg iv, 4 mg/kg po), ~100% in dog (1 mg/kg iv, 1 mg/kg po), and ~100% in cynomolgus monkey (1 mg/kg iv, 1 mg/kg po) [1]. Clearance: The compound exhibited low clearance in all species tested: mouse (2.7 mL/min/kg), rat (1.3 ± 0.3 mL/min/kg), dog (0.18 ± 0.04 mL/min/kg), and cynomolgus monkey (1.1 ± 0.2 mL/min/kg) [1]. Half-Life: The terminal half-life was 7.7 hours in mouse, 11 ± 0.8 hours in rat, 36 ± 3 hours in dog, and 33 ± 4 hours in cynomolgus monkey [1]. Volume of Distribution: Vss values were 1.9 L/kg in mouse, 1.2 ± 0.3 L/kg in rat, 0.5 ± 0.1 L/kg in dog, and 2.0 ± 0.4 L/kg in cynomolgus monkey [1]. Liver Microsome Stability: BMS-986251 showed excellent stability in liver microsomes with half-life >120 minutes for human, mouse, and rat [1]. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
CYP Inhibition: BMS-986251 did not inhibit recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes, with IC₅₀ values >20 μM for CYP 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 (BFC substrate) [1].
Protein Binding: The free fraction (unbound) of BMS-986251 was 1.2% in human plasma, 1.6% in mouse plasma, and 2.1% in rat plasma [1]. Nuclear Receptor Selectivity: BMS-986251 showed no significant activity against PXR (EC₅₀ >5000 nM), LXRα (EC₅₀ >7500 nM), or LXRβ (EC₅₀ >7500 nM), indicating low risk for off-target effects [1]. Additional Info: BMS-986251 is a novel tricyclic RORγt inverse agonist that was selected as a clinically viable developmental candidate based on its excellent overall profile [1]. The compound was designed based on X-ray crystal structure analysis of a previous lead compound (compound 2) in RORγt, which revealed that the cyclohexane ring came in close proximity to helix 5 of the receptor. Optimization focused on introducing substituents to improve affinity [1]. The crystal structure of BMS-986251 bound to RORγt (pdb id: 6VQF) shows its binding mode, with key interactions including the carboxylate interacting with Arg367 and Arg364, and the amide carbonyl engaging the backbone NH of Phe377 [1]. BMS-986251 is intended for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, where Th17 cells and IL-17 play a critical pathogenic role [1]. |
