Probe Selectivity in Vitro:
hERG: Electrophysiology; Whole cell voltage clamp technique permits investigation of the physiological role and pharmacological modulation of ion channels, transporters and receptors that link to ion channels. IC50 hERG=7.45 uM. P450 CYP3A4: Fluorescence/FLINT - Antagonism, pIC50 - Vivid Green Substrate Using Multidrop Combi Liquid Dispense, IC50 P450 CYP3A4=5 uM.
Human and rat whole blood assays: MDP (muramyl dipeptide, NOD2 specific activating ligand) stimulated TNFalpha release measured in whole blood.
HEK cells: MDP stimulated IL-8 release measured in HEK cells overexpressing NOD2.

Indirect
Potency assay, off target (cells):
Cellular selectivity of GSK583 was evaluated in primary human monocytes. In the presence of 1 μM GSK583, NOD1- or NOD2-mediated cytokine production was completely inhibited (RIPK2-dependent pathways). In contrast, only weak inhibition was observed upon stimulation with ligands that selectively activate various TLR or cytokine receptors (RIPK2-independent pathways). The targeted receptors were stimulated with the following ligands: NOD1 (300 μg/mL, ieDAP), NOD2 (1 μg/mL, MDP), TLR2 (10 ng/mL Pam2Csk4), TLR4 (10 ng/mL, ultrapure LPS), TLR7 (10 μg/mL, gardiquimod), IL-1R (10 ng/mL, IL-1β), and TNFR (100 ng/mL, TNFα). Release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, either TNFα (NOD2, TLR2, TLR4, IL1R) or IL-8 (NOD1, TLR7, TNFR) weas measured by immunoassay.
