N-(CYCLOPROPYLMETHOXY)-3,4,5-TRIFLUORO-2-[(4-IODO-2-METHYLPHENYL)AMINO]-BENZAMIDE

Description

PD 198306 is an orally bioavailable and potent inhibitor of MAPK kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2; IC₅₀ = 8 nM). It is selective for MEK1/2 over ERK, c-Src, PI3Kγ, and cyclin-dependent kinases (IC₅₀s = >1 μM). PD 198306 (3-100 μM) reduces ERK1/2 phosphorylation and inhibits growth of HL-60 cells in vitro. In vivo, PD 198306 (10-30 mg/kg) reduces ERK1/2 phosphorylation and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in a dose-dependent manner in a rabbit model of osteoarthritis. It also reduces ERK1/2 activity in the lumbar spinal cord and blocks static allodynia in rat models of neuropathic pain induced by streptozotocin or chronic constriction injury.

The Uses of N-(CYCLOPROPYLMETHOXY)-3,4,5-TRIFLUORO-2-[(4-IODO-2-METHYLPHENYL)AMINO]-BENZAMIDE

PD 198306 is a cell-permeable and highly selective potent inhibitor of MEK 1/2.

What are the applications of Application

PD 198306 is a cell-permeable compound that acts as a potent and non-ATP-competitive inhibitor of MEK1/2

Definition

ChEBI: N-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-3,4,5-trifluoro-2-(4-iodo-2-methylanilino)benzamide is an aminobenzoic acid.

Biological Activity

Potent inhibitor of MEK1/2. Inhibits isolated enzyme at a concentration of 8 nM and inhibits MEK activity in synovial fibroblasts at concentrations of 30-100 nM. Highly selective for MEK; IC 50 values are > 1, > 4, > 4 and > 10 μ M for ERK, c-Src, cdks and PI 3-kinase γ respectively. Antihyperalgesic; blocks static allodynia in the streptozocin model of neuropathic pain following i.t. administration.

in vitro

pd 198306 inhibits the isolated mek at a concentration of 8 nm and inhibits mek activity in synovial fibroblasts at 30–100 nm, depending on the species. pd 198306 is highly selective for mek and has a ic50 of >4 um for c-src, >1 um for erk, >4 um for cyclin-dependent kinases and >10 um for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [1].

in vivo

rabbits treated with pd 198306 showd a significant dose-dependent reduction in the level of phospho-erk-1/2 and a lower level of mmp-1. pd 198306 can partially decrease the development of some of the structural changes in experimental rabbit model of osteoarthritis [1]. pd 198306 dose-dependently blocked static allodynia in both the streptozocin and the chronic constriction injury models of neuropathic pain. these antihyperalgesic effects correlated with a reduction in the elevated levels of active erk1 and 2 in lumbar spinal cord [2].
