CAS#: 1337532-29-2

Description: GSK2656157 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of PERK enzyme activity with an IC50 of 0.9 nM. It is highly selective for PERK with IC50 values >100 nM against a panel of 300 kinases. GSK2656157 inhibits PERK activity in cells with an IC50 in the range of 10-30 nM as shown by inhibition of stress-induced PERK autophosphorylation, eIF2α substrate phosphorylation, together with corresponding decreases in ATF4 and CHOP proteins in multiple cell lines. Oral administration of GSK2656157 to mice shows a dose- and time-dependent pharmacodynamic response in pancreas as measured by PERK auto-phosphorylation.

More Info: Twice daily dosing of GSK2656157 results in dose dependent inhibition of multiple human tumor xenografts growth in mice. Altered amino acid metabolism, decreased blood vessel density and vascular perfusion are potential mechanisms for the observed anti-tumor effect. However, despite its anti-tumor activity, given the on-target pharmacological effects of PERK inhibition on pancreatic function, development of any PERK inhibitor in human subjects would need to be cautiously pursued in cancer patients.    

Biological target: GSK2656157 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) with an IC50 of 0.9 nM.
In vitro activity: When GyrB.PERK-expressing cells were treated with increasing concentrations of GSK2656157 in the presence of coumermycin, PERK inhibitor decreased eIF2α phosphorylation in a concentration-dependent manner (Fig. 1C). When GyrB.PKR cells were used, treatment with GSK2656157 did not have a similar robust effect on the inhibition of eIF2α phosphorylation, as in GyrB.PERK-expressing cells (Fig. 1D). These data indicated that GSK2656157 is a potent and rather specific PERK inhibitor in cells ectopically expressing a conditionally active form of the eIF2α kinase.

In vivo activity: STING phosphorylation in NeuN-positive cells was increased in the pericontusional cortex neurons of TBI mice compared with sham (Fig. 1B and Fig. 1-1C, D); however, phospho-STING expression was dramatically decreased after treatment with GSK2656157 following TBI (Fig. 1B and Fig. 1-1C,D). Similar to phospho-STING, phospho-TBK1 and phospho-IRF3 were also increased after TBI in the CX compared with sham (Fig. 1C,D, and Fig. 1-1E–H). TBI-mediated increase in phospho-TBK1 and phospho-IRF3 was considerably decreased by 3 d of GSK2656157 treatment following TBI (Fig. 1C,D, and Fig. 1-1E–H).
