GSK2256294A (GSK 2256294) (Synonyms: GSK 2256294)

GSK2256294A is a potent, reversible, tight binding inhibitor of isolated recombinant human sEH (soluble epoxide hydrolase) (IC50 = 27 pM; t1/2 = 121 min) and displays potent inhibition against the rat (IC50 = 61 pM) and murine (IC50 = 189 pM) orthologs of sEH.IC50 value: 27 pMTarget: sEHin vitro: GSK2256294A also displays potent cellular inhibition (IC50 = 0.66 nM) of sEH in an assay developed using a cell line transfected with the human sEH enzyme. [1]in vivo: A novel, potent, selective inhibitor of recombinant human, rat and mouse sEH, GSK2256294A, exhibits potent cell-based activity, a concentration-dependent inhibition of the conversion of 14,15-EET to 14,15-DHET in human, rat and mouse whole blood, and a dose-dependent increase in the LTX/LTX diol ratio in rat plasma following oral administration. Mice receiving 10 days of cigarette smoke exposure concomitant with oral administration of GSK2256294A exhibits significant, dose-dependent reductions in pulmonary leukocytes and keratinocyte chemoattractant levels. Mice receiving oral administration of GSK2256294A following 10 days of cigarette smoke exposure exhibited significant reductions in pulmonary leukocytes compared to vehicle-treated mice.
