GW 280264X

GW 280264X is an inhibitor of disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17/TNF-α converting enzyme (ADAM17/TACE) and ADAM10 (IC₅₀s = 8 and 11.5 nM, respectively).¹ It inhibits TNF-α-induced cleavage of endomucin in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when used at a concentration of 10 µM.² GW 280264X (1 and 10 µM) inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) ectodomain shedding induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in HEK-ACE2 cells.³ It reduces ACE2 shedding and prevents severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in HK-2 cells.⁴
