VX-745 is a lead anti-inflammatory candidate, p38 MAPK inhibitor (IC50=10 nM) for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). p38 MAPK is a specific enzyme that regulates the production of IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNFα, chemokines and nitric oxide (NO), as part of acute and chronic inflammatory responses. In vitro, VX-745 was selective for p38 MAPK compared to a large panel of kinases (IC50≥20µM). VX-745 selectively inhibited p38α MAPK (IC50=10 nM), p38β MAPK (IC50 =220 nM) [368149], but not p38γ MAPK (IC50≥20 µM). In addition, cell data for VX-745 provided IC50 values of 56 and 52 nM for IL-1β and TNFα, respectively, and VX-745 blocked IL-6 and IL-8 production induced by IL-1 and TNFα. In a human whole blood assay, IC50 values were 152 and 177 nM for IL-1β and TNFα inhibition, respectively.

Preparation method | Incubating BMSCs (5 × 104 cells/well) or MM cells (3 × 104 cells/well) in 96-well culture plates in the presence or absence of VX-745 for 48 hours at 37 °C. Measuring DNA synthesis by [3H]-thymidine ([3H]TdR) uptake. Cells are pulsed with [3H]TdR (0.5 μCi/well [.0185 MBq]) during the last 8 hours of 48-hour cultures. Measuring 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) dye absorbance to assess growth inhibition of both MM cells and BMSCs by VX-745 . |

For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
