Biological activities

VX-765 is an orally-absorbed pro-drug of VRT-043198. VX-765 is a potent and selective inhibitor of interleukin converting enzyme (ICE)/caspase-1 sub-family caspases.[1] VX-765 is currently under development for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.[2] VX-765 is converted rapidly to VRT-043198 under the action of plasma and liver esterases. VRT-043198 potently inhibits ICE/caspase-1 and caspase-4 with Ki values of 0.8 nM and less than 0.6 nM, respectively. VRT-043198 inhibits IL-1β release from both PBMCs and whole blood with IC50s of 0.67 and 1.9 µM, respectively. VRT-043198 inhibits the release of IL-1β and IL-18 from human monocytes in vitro. In vivo in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, VX-765 induces a dose-dependent, significant reduction in the inflammation scores. Importantly, 100 mg/kg VX-765 is as efficacious as 5 mg/kg prednisolone.[1]

Protocols

In vivo, VX-765 is prepared as a DMSO stock solution and diluted to appropriate concentrations in medium.[2]
