Bioactivity | GSK2981278 is a potent and selective RORγ inverse agonist. GSK2981278 inhibits activation of the il17 promoter and interferes RORγ-DNA binding[1]. | ||||||||||||
Target | RORγ | ||||||||||||
Invitro | GSK2981278 markedly and potently inhibits IL-17A and IL-22 protein secretion in a concentration dependent manner (IC50 = 3.2 nM) during 5 days of culture under Th17 skewing conditions[1]. GSK2981278 (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 pM; 5 day) potently and selectively inhibits IL-17 and IL-22 levels. Culture in the presence of ≥3 nM GSK2981278 led to a near-complete inhibition of IL-17A protein secretion[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | GSK2981278 (1% in ointment; topically; for three days) reduces skin redness and scaling, as well as decreased hyperplasia, as evidenced by a 23% reduction in epidermal thickness. GSK2981278 attenuates inflammation in a mouse model of psoriasis[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
