| In Vitro | In vitro activity: RN486 not only potently and selectively inhibits the Btk enzyme, but also displays functional activities in human cell-based assays in multiple cell types, blocking Fcε receptor cross-linking-induced degranulation in mast cells (IC50 = 2.9 nM), Fcγ receptor engagement-mediated tumor necrosis factor α production in monocytes (IC50 = 7.0 nM), and B cell antigen receptor-induced expression of an activation marker, CD69, in B cells in whole blood (IC50 = 21.0 nM). RN486 is able to block the signaling of BCR as demonstrated by a marked inhibition of phosphorylation of both Btk and PLCγ2 in B cells. RN486 displays a selective B cell inhibitory profile in BioMAP Systems.
Kinase Assay: RN486 is a novel, potent and selective BTK inhibitor with IC50 of 4 nM. RN486 not only potently and selectively inhibited the Btk enzyme, but also displayed functional activities in human cell-based assays in multiple cell types, blocking Fcε receptor cross-linking-induced degranulation in mast cells (IC(50) = 2.9 nM), Fcγ receptor engagement-mediated tumor necrosis factor α production in monocytes (IC(50) = 7.0 nM), and B cell antigen receptor-induced expression of an activation marker, CD69, in B cells in whole blood (IC(50) = 21.0 nM).
Cell Assay: In a co-culture system consisting of human primary synovial FLS and activated human platelets, convulxin stimulation resulted in elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and IL-8, an effect which was dose-dependently blocked by RN486. |
