Biochem/physiol Actions

AS1517499 is a potent STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 21 nM against IL-4-dependent reporter activity) that selectively prevents anti-CD3- & IL-4-induced T-helper cell 2 (Th2) differentiation of mouse spleen T cells (IC₅₀ = 2.3 nM), without affecting anti-CD3- & IL-12-induced Th1 differentiation. AS1517499 in vivo effecicacy is demonstrated in various animal models of immunological disorders, including the autoimmune Graves’; disease, antigen-induced bronchial hypercontractility (10 mg/kg i.p.). AS1517499 treatment (10 mg/kg/day i.p.) following early gliomagenesis blockage by a CSF-1R inhibitor is also shown to greatly prolong the survival rate when compared with CSF-1R inhibition alone in a murine model of PDGF-driven glioma (PDG).

AS1517499 moderately inhibits the expression of RhoA (ras homolog family member A). Overexpression of RhoA protein is associated with allergic bronchial asthma.
