WAY-204688 (WAY204688; WAY 204688; SIM688; SIM-688) is a novel, potent, selective and orally bioactive agonist of estrogen receptor (ER-α) and also an inhibitor of NF-κB transcriptional activity with anti-inflammatory effects. It inhibits NF-κB-luciferase (NF-κB-luc) with an IC50 of 122 ± 30 nM in HAECT-1 cells. WAY-204688 has the potential to be used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | WAY-204688 is ER-dependent; in human aortic endothelial cell lines (HAECT-1), it is only active when hER is coexpressed with NF-κB-luciferase. In vitro tests are performed to investigate WAY-204688's interactions with ERα and ERβ. WAY-204688 extracts [3H]E2 with an IC50 of 2.43 μM from the ERα ligand binding domain protein (LBD) and with an IC50 of 1.5 μM from the ERβ ligand binding domain protein (LBD)[1]. |
| ln Vivo | The effectiveness of WAY-204688 (5 mg/kg per day, po daily for 5 weeks) to inhibit the four proinflammatory genes (MHC, invariant chain (MHI), VCAM-1, RANTES, and TNF-α) is assessed in vivo. WAY-204688's impact on uterine wet weight and gene product induction is contrasted with that of 17α-ethinyl 17β-estradiol (EE at 10 μg/kg daily) using the identical paradigm. WAY-204688 is being further characterized in a number of preclinical models of inflammatory illness. WAY-204688 is effective in the adjuvant-induced arthritis model (AIA) in Lewis rats when administered at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg daily, po[1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~179.66 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.49 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 25.0 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.) |
