GNE-0877 (GNE 0877; GNE0877) is a novel, highly potent and selective leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) inhibitor with important biological activity. It inhibits LRRK2 with a Ki of 0.7 nM. GNE-0877 showed significantly enhanced LRRK2 cellular potency (3 nM) and low turnover in human liver microsomes and hepatocytes with no evidence of glucuronidation. Invitrogen kinase-selectivity profiling (188 kinases) of GNE-0877 at 0.1 μM resulted in only four kinases showing greater than 50% inhibition and suggested that GNE-0877 is a highly selective LRRK2 inhibitor. Furthermore, GNE-0877 possessed a 212-fold biochemical-selectivity index over TTK (Ki = 150 nM).

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~250 mg/mL (~736.77 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.13 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.13 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
