Description of GW4869

GW4869 is a noncompetitive neutral sphingomyelinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 1 uM. GW4869 (10 uM) partially inhibits TNF-induced sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis, and 20 uM of the compound is protected completely from the loss of SM. The addition of 10-20 uM GW4869 completely inhibits the initial accumulation of ceramide, whereas this effect is partially lost at later time points (24 h). The action of GW4869 occurs downstream of the drop in glutathione. GW4869 is able, in a dose-dependent manner, to significantly protect from cell death. These protective effects of gw4869 are accompanied by significant inhibition of cytochrome c release from mitochondria and caspase 9 activation, therefore localizing N-SMase activation upstream of mitochondrial dysfunction[1].

Pre-treatment with GW4869 significantly impairs the release of both exosomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) in RAW264.7 macrophages. At 12 h after LPS treatment or CLP surgery, WT mice pretreated with GW4869 display lower amounts of exosomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum than control PBS-injected mice. Accordingly, GW4869 treatment diminishes sepsis-induced cardiac inflammation, attenuates myocardial depression, and prolongs survival[2].

Protocol of GW4869

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF7 human breast cancer cells

Preparation method

GW-4869 was routinely stored at −80 °C as a 1.5 mm stock suspension in DMSO. Right before use, the suspension was solubilized by the addition of 5% methane sulfonic acid (MSA) (2.5 μl of 5% MSA in sterile double-distilled H2O were added to 50 μl of GW4869 stock suspension; therefore, the concentration of the GW-4869 stock solution at the time of the experiments was 1.43 mm). The suspension was mixed and warmed up at 37 °C until clear.

Applications

GW4869 is a noncompetitive neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1 μM.GW4869 (10 μm) partially inhibited TNF-induced sphingomyelin (SM) hydrolysis, and 20 μm of the compound was protected completely from the loss of SM. The action of GW4869 occurred downstream of the drop in glutathione, which was shown previously to occur upstream of the activation of N-SMase. GW4869 does not interfere with other key TNF-mediated signaling effects. GW4869 was able, in a dose-dependent manner, to significantly protect from cell death as measured by nuclear condensation, caspase activation, PARP degradation, and trypan blue uptake.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male wild-type C57BL/6 mice

Dosage form

GW 4869, dissolved in DMSO (0.005%), was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected at one dose of 2.5μg/g before sham or CLP surgery.

Applications

Pre-treatment with GW 4869 significantly impaired release of both exosomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) in RAW264.7 macrophages. WT mice pretreated with GW4869 displayed lower amounts of exosomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum than control PBS-injected mice. Accordingly, GW4869 treatment diminished the sepsis-induced cardiac inflammation, attenuated myocardial depression and prolonged survival.
