DrugBank Description: | OSI-461 is a second-generation molecule belonging to a new class of drugs termed selective apoptotic anti-neoplastic drugs (SAANDs). |
CAS Number: | -- |
Molecular Weight: | |
DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney cancer, leukemia (lymphoid), and prostate cancer. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | -- |
DrugBank MoA: | OSI-461 is cGMP phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDEs) inhibitors which is designed to lead to sustained activation of the intracellular signaling protein, Protein Kinase G (PKG), and subsequent stimulation of apoptosis through the c-Jun kinase pathway. Broad spectrum inhibition of cGMP-PDEs have been shown to lead to elevation in cGMP levels and the sustained activation of PKG. This in turn directly phosphorylates MEKK1 leading to activation of the N-terminal c-Jun kinase (JNK-1) pathway, a known pro-apoptotic signaling pathway. |
Targets: | cGMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase |
Inclusion Criteria: | Therapeutic strategy associated |
