| Targets |
ZK216348 targets the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a nuclear receptor that regulates gene transcription in response to glucocorticoids. As a selective GR agonist, it mimics the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids but is designed to have a more favorable side-effect profile. It also binds to progesterone and mineralocorticoid receptors, though with lower affinity.

| ln Vitro |
ZK 216348 inhibits TNF-α and IL-12 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at IC50 values of 89 nM and 52 nM, respectively [1]. In Caco-2 cells, the role of active GR in ZK 216348's anti-inflammatory response was investigated further. ZK 216348 was found to inhibit the expression of IL-8, a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is induced by TNF-α [2].
In vitro, ZK216348 acts as a nonsteroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist with an IC50 of 20.3 nM. It shows anti-inflammatory activity comparable to prednisolone. The compound's activity is assessed using receptor binding assays and functional assays measuring glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene transactivation and transrepression. |
| ln Vivo |
In NMRI mice and Wistar rats, treatment with ZK 216348 (1–30 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; 24 hours) reduced ear edema. Compared to other treatments, ZK 216348 has a much better adverse effect profile that includes elevated blood sugar, splenic degeneration, and, to a lesser degree, skin atrophy [1].
In vivo, ZK216348 has been studied for the treatment of experimental colitis. It has anti-inflammatory activity comparable to prednisolone for both systemic and topical application. The compound induces less transactivation-mediated side effects, suggesting a potentially improved safety profile compared to traditional glucocorticoids. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro receptor binding assays for ZK216348 are performed using membrane preparations expressing human glucocorticoid, progesterone, and mineralocorticoid receptors. Radioligand competition binding assays are used to measure the compound's affinity for these receptors, and IC50 values are calculated from competition curves. Functional assays measure glucocorticoid receptor-mediated transcriptional activity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ZK216348 are performed using cells expressing the glucocorticoid receptor, such as immune cells or reporter cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound, and glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene expression is measured by qRT-PCR or reporter gene assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: NMRI mice (26-28 g) and Wistar rats (140-160 g) injected with croton oil [1] Doses: 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg given Medication method: subcutaneous injection; 24-hour
Experimental Results: inhibit ear edema in mice and rats. In vivo animal experiments for ZK216348 are conducted in models of inflammatory diseases, such as experimental colitis. A typical protocol involves oral or topical administration of the compound to animals with induced colitis, followed by assessment of disease severity, histological analysis of colon tissues, and measurement of inflammatory markers. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of ZK216348 have been characterized in preclinical studies. The compound has a molecular weight of 476.45, molecular formula C24H23F3N2O5, and a purity of 99.93%. It is a nonsteroidal compound with a relative density of 1.39 g/cm3 (predicted). Further PK details are available from the manufacturer's data sheets.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of ZK216348 has been evaluated in preclinical studies. As a selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist, it is designed to induce less transactivation-mediated side effects compared to traditional glucocorticoids. Specific toxicity data, including organ-specific effects and dose-limiting toxicities, are typically assessed in standard toxicology studies to support its development as a therapeutic agent.
