In vitro
SB 216763 displays similar potency for GSK-3beta with 96% inhibition at 10 uM while exhibiting minimal activity against 24 other protein kinases including PKBalpha and PDK1 with IC50 of >10 uM. SB 216763 at 3 uM also completely prevents death of chicken dorsal root ganglion sensory neurones induced by LY-294002 regardless of NGF.
In vivo
Administration of SB 216763 at 20 mg/kg significantly prevents lung inflammation and the subsequent fibrosis in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis model in mice by significantly blocking the production of inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 and TNF-alpha by macrophages, and significantly improves the survival of BLM-treated mice.
