The Uses of 4-[3-Oxo-3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzoxazol-6-yl)propyl]piperazine-1-carboxylic acid 3,5-dichlorobenzyl ester

PF8380 is a novel autotaxin inhibitor which reduces lysophosphatidic acid levels in plasma and at the site of inflammation.

The Uses of 4-[3-Oxo-3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzoxazol-6-yl)propyl]piperazine-1-carboxylic acid 3,5-dichlorobenzyl ester

PF-8380 has been used in biological assays. It has also been used to estimate the role of intestinally-derived lysophosphatidic acid in dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis.

What are the applications of Application

PF-8380 is a substrate competitive and tight-binding inhibitor of autotaxin

General Description

An orally bioavailable piperazinylbenzoxazolone compound that acts as a substrate competitive and tight-binding inhibitor of autotaxin activity {IC₅₀ = 2.8 and 1.7 nM for recombinant human enzyme-β isoform employing FS-3 and LPC (lysophosphatidylcholine) as substrates, respectively; 1.16 and 1.15 nM for rat/murine enzyme-FS-3 and fetal fibroblast cell-LPC; 101 nM for human whole blood}. Displays desirable pharmacokinetics properties and efficiently blocks inflammation-induced LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) production both in plasma and at the site of inflammation by 95% in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis model (30 mg/kg, p.o.).

Biological Activity

pf-8380 is a specific and potent inhibitor of autotaxin (atx) with an ic50 value of 2.8 nm [1].autotaxin (atx) is a secreted enzyme having lysophospholipase d activity

Biochem/physiol Actions
