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
