Comments:
GSK2656157 is selective inhibitor of PERK kinase (EIF2AK3) that binds the nucleotide pocket. In terms of selectivity in binding potency, it is at least 500-fold selective over other members of the EIF2AK family, with minimal inhibition of other off kinases when surveyed in a broad panel (300 kinases). It is potent in cells, demonstrating clear inhibition of PERK autophosporylation at 100nM or less, but can be used at concentrations up to 1uM meaningful off target effects. It is also bioavailable and can be used in multiple animal models such as the mouse, the rat, and the dog via either intravenous or oral routes. GSK2656157 should provide a valuable tool for the study of PERK in the context of various cancers or other disease contexts where inhibition of angiogenesis is desired.
