Chemical Structure

Biological activities

AG-490 is a specific janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor. AG-490 inhibits JAK2 with an IC50 of 10 µM.[1] AG-490 blocks the constitutive activation of Stat3sm. AG-490, at concentrations at and above 50 µM, inhibits the spontaneous growth of MF cells with an IC50 of 75 µM. AG-490, at lower concentrations, inhibits the IL-2-mediated up-regulation of MF cell growth with an IC50 of 20 µM. [2] AG-490 potently inhibits the autokinase activity of JAK3 and tyrosine phosphorylation and DNA binding of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5a and 5b (STAT5a/b). AG-490 also inhibits IL-2-mediated proliferative growth in human T cells with an IC50 of 25 µM. AG-490 prevents tetanus toxoid antigen-specific T cell proliferation and expansion. [3] AG-490 inhibits IL-5-induced chemokinesis and β1-integrin adhesiveness of eosinophils in vitro. In vivo, administration of AG-490 prevents antigen-induced eosinophil infiltration in the airways of sensitized mice in a dose-dependent manner. [4] Treatment of mice with AG-490 (dose, 5 mg/kg i.p. simultaneously with zymosan) decreases the number of cells and the level of NO in the peritoneal lavage. Aadministration of AG-490 in zymosan-induced nonseptic shock significantly improves the rate of survival and leads to less exerted signs of multiple organ failure. [5]

Protocols
