Title: Anti-rheumatic property and physiological safety of KMU-11342 in in vitro and in vivo models. Author: Baek HS, Hong VS, Kang H, Lee SJ, Lee JY, Kang H, Jeong S, Jung H, Park JW, Kwon TK, Son CN, Kim SH, Lee J, Kim KS, Kim S. Journal: Inflamm Res; 2024 Aug; 73(8):1371-1391. PubMed ID: 38879731. Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by joint destruction due to synovial hypertrophy and the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Despite substantial progress in RA treatment, challenges persist, including suboptimal treatment responses and adverse effects associated with current therapies. This study investigates the anti-rheumatic capabilities of the newly identified multi-protein kinase inhibitor, KMU-11342, aiming to develop innovative agents targeting RA. In this study, we synthesized the novel multi-protein kinase inhibitor KMU-11342, based on indolin-2-one. We assessed its cardiac electrophysiological safety using the Langendorff system in rat hearts and evaluated its toxicity in zebrafish in vivo. Additionally, we examined the anti-rheumatic effects of KMU-11342 on human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS), THP-1 cells, and osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells. KMU-11342 demonstrated the ability to inhibit LPS-induced chemokine inhibition and the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, p-IKKα/β, p-NF-κB p65, and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in RA-FLS. It effectively suppressed the upregulation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1 cleavage. Furthermore, KMU-11342 hindered the activation of osteoclast differentiation factors such as RANKL-induced TRAP, cathepsin K, NFATc-1, and c-Fos in RAW264.7 cells. KMU-11342 mitigates LPS-mediated inflammatory responses in THP-1 cells by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Notably, KMU-11342 exhibited minimal cytotoxicity in vivo and electrophysiological cardiotoxicity ex vivo. Consequently, KMU-11342 holds promise for development as a therapeutic agent in RA treatment.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
