IKK 16

The Uses of IKK 16

IKK-16 is a potential novel IκB kinase 2 (IKK2) inhibitor used in the treatment of various immune/inflammatory disorders.

Definition

ChEBI: [4-[[4-(1-benzothiophen-2-yl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]phenyl]-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-piperidinyl]methanone is a N-acylpiperidine and a member of benzamides.

Biological Activity

ikk-16 (ikk inhibitor vii) is a novel inhibitor of iκb kinase (ikk) with the ic50 values of 0.04μm, 0.2μm and 0.07μm for ikk2, ikk1 and ikk complex, respectively [1].ikk-16 (ikk inhibitor vii) is a 2-benzamido-pyrimidines and selective inhibitor of iκb kinase (ikk). ikk-16 has been reported to effectively inhibit tnfα release into plasma upon lps-challenge in the rat. in addition, ikk-16 has been found to be active at thioglycollate-induced peritonitis model in the mouse. furthermore, ikk-16 has revealed to be an orally bio-available in rats and mice, and have significant in vivo activity in an acute model of cytokine release [1].
