Product Overview
BMS-509744 is a selective inhibitor of ITK with IC50 value of 15 nM. ITK (IL-2-inducible T cell kinase) is an enzyme and plays an important role in T cell receptor signaling. It has been reported that ITK involves in the Th2-mediated inflammatory process and thus be regarded as a promising target for Th2-mediated inflammatory/immunosuppressive diseases treatment, such as asthma, rhinitis, allergies and atopic dermatitis. BMS-509744 is a potent ITK inhibitor and is different from the reported ITK inhibitor RO5191614. When tested with human and murine cells, administration of BMS-509744 reduced TCR-induced functions by functioning on PLCgamma1 tyrosine phosphorylation, calcium mobilization, IL-2 secretion and T-cell proliferation. In wild-typr HIV1 infected cells, BMS-509744 treatment blocked its infectivity and replication by inhibiting ITK, while has no effect on Nef-defective HIV1 infected cells. In mouse model of ovalbuim-induced allergy/asthma, administration of BMS-509744 suppressed the production of IL-2 and significantly diminished lung inflammation by inhibiting ITK activity.
