RIPK2 kinase (IC50 = 0.13 μM)
WEHI-345 targets receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2), a serine/threonine kinase that is essential for signal transduction downstream of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) receptors NOD1 and NOD2. Upon NOD stimulation, RIPK2 undergoes ubiquitination and activates NF-κB and MAPK pathways, leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. WEHI-345 inhibits RIPK2 kinase activity, thereby delaying RIPK2 ubiquitylation and NF-κB activation. It is selective for RIPK2 over RIPK1, RIPK4, and RIPK5, with Kds of 46, >10,000, >10,000, and >10,000 nM, respectively. |

| ln Vitro |
In cells, MDP-induced RIPK2 autophosphorylation activity can be inhibited by WEHI-345 (500 nM; Raw 267.4 cells) [1]. In bone marrow, MDP-induced transcription of the inflammatory mediators TNF and interleukin 6 (IL-6) is efficiently blocked by WEHI-345 (500 nM; 0 hours, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 8 hours; BMDM or THP-1 cells). ..derived macrophages (BMDM). WEHI-345 lowers the mRNA levels of NF-kB targets in THP-1 cells, including TNF, IL-8, IL-1b, and A20 [1].
WEHI-345 is a potent inhibitor of RIPK2 with an IC50 of 0.13 μM in a kinase assay. It is selective for RIPK2 over a panel of 95 kinases at a concentration of 1 μM. The compound delays RIPK2 ubiquitylation and NF-κB activation upon NOD stimulation. By inhibiting RIPK2, WEHI-345 prevents the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF. It has been shown to reduce plasma levels of TNF in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). |
| ln Vivo |
WEHI-345 (20 mg/kg; i.p.; twice daily; for 6 days; male C57BL/6 mice) treatment decreased histology scores, disease scores, inflammatory infiltrates, and the recruitment of dendritic cells to inflammatory areas. It increased body weight as well as decreased levels of cytokines and chemokines, suggesting a general improvement in wild-type C57Bl/6 mice provoked with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) [1].
WEHI-345 (3-10 mg/kg) reduces plasma levels of TNF and delays disease onset in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). This demonstrates its in vivo efficacy in a model of multiple sclerosis. The compound modulates NOD signaling events while preventing inflammatory cytokine production. Its ability to inhibit RIPK2 and reduce inflammation in vivo makes it a valuable tool for studying RIPK2-driven inflammatory diseases. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro kinase assay for WEHI-345 typically involves measuring the kinase activity of recombinant human RIPK2 using a radioactive or fluorescence-based assay. The compound is incubated with the enzyme, a peptide substrate, and ATP, and the phosphorylation level is quantified to determine the IC50. Selectivity is assessed by testing the compound against a panel of other kinases at a single concentration (e.g., 1 μM).

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: Original 267.4 Cell Tested Concentrations: 500 nM Incubation Duration: Experimental Results: Inhibition of MDP-induced RIPK2 autophosphorylation activity in cells. RT-PCR[1] Cell Types: BMDM or THP-1 Cell Tested Concentrations: 500 nM Incubation Duration: 0 hrs (hours), 2 hrs (hours), 4 hrs (hours), 8 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Blocks the transcription of MDP-induced inflammatory mediators TNF and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in BMDM. and diminished the mRNA levels of NF-kB targets in THP-1 cells. The in vitro cellular assay for WEHI-345 typically involves culturing cells that express NOD1 or NOD2, such as macrophages or epithelial cell lines. Cells are stimulated with a NOD agonist (e.g., C12-iE-DAP for NOD1 or MDP for NOD2) in the presence or absence of varying concentrations of the compound. RIPK2 ubiquitylation is assessed by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting, and NF-κB activation is measured by reporter gene assays or by assessing the phosphorylation of IκBα. Cytokine production (e.g., TNF, IL-6) is measured by ELISA. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6 male mice (8 weeks old) [1]
Doses: 20 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; twice (two times) daily; for 6 days Experimental Results: disease score, inflammatory infiltrate, histological score, and inflammation diminished dendritic cell recruitment to the site. and improved body weight and diminished cytokine and chemokine levels. In vivo animal studies for WEHI-345 typically involve the use of mouse models of inflammatory diseases. In the EAE model, mice are immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide and treated with WEHI-345 (3-10 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection. Disease onset and severity are monitored by clinical scoring, and plasma levels of TNF are measured. Histological analysis of the spinal cord is performed to assess immune cell infiltration and demyelination. |
