GSK 525762A

Description

The bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family of proteins, including BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4, affect inflammatory gene expression by controlling the assembly of histone acetylation-dependent chromatin complexes. I-BET762 is a synthetic compound which interacts with BET proteins with high-affinity (K_d = 32.5-42.5 nM). It blocks binding of BET proteins with acetylated histones, disrupting the formation of chromatin complexes involved in the expression of specific inflammatory genes in activated macrophages. Through these actions, I-BET762 provides protection against bacteria-induced sepsis and lipopolysaccharide-triggered endotoxic shock.

The Uses of GSK 525762A

GSK 525762A, is a BET Bromodomain Inhibitor, which is now in clinical development. BET bromodomains have emerged as promising drug targets for treatment of cancers, inflammatory diseases, and other medical conditions.

What are the applications of Application

GSK 525762A is an inhibitor of BRD

Definition

ChEBI: 2-[(4S)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-methoxy-1-methyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepin-4-yl]-N-ethylacetamide is a benzodiazepine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

I-BET762 possesses anti-inflammatory property by controlling the pro-inflammatory gene expression. I-BET762 hinders the MYC (proto-oncogene) expression in cellular models. This action of I-BET762 might serve as an effective therapy in treating prostate cancer.
