CMPD101

CMPD101 is an inhibitor of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) and GRK3 (IC50s = 18 and 5.4 nM, respectively). [1] It is selective for GRK2 and GRK3 over GRK1, GRK5, GRK6, and GRK7 (IC50s = 3,100, 2,300, >30,000, and 25,000 nM, respectively), as well as Rho-associated kinase 2 (ROCK-2) and PKCα (IC50s = 1,400 and 8,100 nM, respectively). CMPD101 induces cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells expressing human β2-adrenergic receptors (EC50 = 10 µM). In isolated human prostate strips, CMPD101 (50 µM) inhibits contractions induced by electrical field stimulation, norepinephrine, phenylephrine, endothelin-1 , and U-46619 . [2]
