Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

URMC-099 is an orally bioavailable, brain penetrant mixed lineage kinase (MLK) inhibitor with IC50 of 19 nM, 42 nM, 14 nM, and 150 nM, for MLK1, MLK2, MLK3, and DLK, respectively. MLK3 activation is associated with many of the pathologic hallmarks of HAND and therefore represents a prime target for adjunctive therapy based on small-molecule kinase inhibition. In vitro, URMC-099 treatment reduced inflammatory cytokine production by HIV-1 Tat-exposed microglia and prevented destruction and phagocytosis of cultured neuronal axons by these cells.

More Info
Biological target:
URMC-099 is an orally bioavailable and potent mixed lineage kinase type 3 (MLK3) (IC50=14 nM) inhibitor with excellent blood-brain barrier penetration properties.
In vitro activity:
URMC-099 (300 nM) blocked increases in JUN ( expression as well as phosphorylation at serine residues 63 and 73 (Fig. 3C,D; n = 3 cultures per condition, p = 0.015 for P Ser 73 JUN in 099- vs vehicle-treated cultures at 8 h and p = 0.003 at 12 h, one-way ANOVA with Sidak post hoc testw,x), consistent with reduced JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) activity downstream of MLK inhibition. Treatment with CLFB1134 (a highly-specific MLK3 inhibitor with a different chemical scaffold) failed to provide protection or trophic support to NGF (nerve growth factor)-deprived neurons, which underwent neuritic beading and degeneration of cell bodies to an extent that precluded quantification of pyknotic versus healthy nuclei, suggesting that the neuroprotective effects of broad-spectrum MLK inhibition in vitro, like in vivo, are not reproduced by an inhibitor that is highly selective for MLK3. Thus, subsequent experiments focused on further characterizing the effects of URMC-099 in EAE (autoimmune encephalomyelitis) hippocampus.

In vivo activity:
At 24 h post-surgery, hippocampal microgliosis was observed in vehicle-treated mice receiving orthopedic surgery relative to sham-treated controls using stereological analyses of F4/80+ cells (P = 0.0003; Fig. 1a, b). In contrast, URMC-099-treated mice exhibited a significant reduction (P = 0.0003) in the density of F4/80+ cells in the hippocampus relative to the sham-treated controls (Fig. 1b), indicating that our treatment paradigm effectively inhibited surgery-induced hippocampal microgliosis. BBB integrity was examined also using IgG immunostaining. There was significantly less IgG leakage in URMC-099-treated mice receiving surgery and sham-treated controls when compared to vehicle-treated mice receiving surgery (P values ≤ 0.044; Fig. 1c). Hence, URMC-099 was efficacious in preventing both microgliosis and leakage at the BBB. Reference: J Neuroinflammation. 2019; 16: 193. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6816182/
