SERP Comments:
KW-6356 (also known as Sipagladenant) has excellent potency against Adenosine A2A (mouse/rat/dog/marmoset/human pKi of 9.49/10.0/9.55/9.95/9.93 respectively). It shows good selectivity between Adenosine receptors (at least >100-fold). The highest affinities for off-target receptors are mouse adenosine A1 (pKi = 7.51) and human adenosine A2B (7.49). At 10 uM, KW-6356 shows only weak inhibition (<30%) against members of a panel of various receptors, transporters and ion channels with the exception of 50.1% inhibition of dopamine receptor d5. Further, KW-6356 displays insignificant inhibition of dopamine metabolising enzymes MAO-A, MAO-B and COMT.
The functional effect of KW-6356 has been reported by monitoring in cAMP levels in cells. The compound shows inverse agonism (pEC50 of 8.46) in HEK293 and time-dependence studies indicate insurmountable antagonism (Namalwa cells).
The compound is orally available and has been taken into in vivo efficacy studies for Parkinson's in marmosets and has entered clinical trials in humans as far as Phase 2b, however despite indicating positive results, Kyowa Kirin have discontinued the development of KW-6356. This is a well-characterised, highly-selective probe.
