GSK716
Based on 1 Customer Validation
GSK716 (A1AT modulator 1) is an orally active Z α1-antitrypsin (Z-A1AT) inhibitor with a pIC50 of 8.3. GSK716 binds a cryptic Z α1-antitrypsin pocket, stabilizes monomeric folding intermediates, blocks polymerization, and increases monomer secretion. GSK716 acts on select sensitive α1-antitrypsin variants but fails to affect resistant variants. GSK716 can be used for the research of α1-antitrypsin deficiency and α1-antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver disease.

Biological Activity
GSK716 (72 h) potently inhibits in vitro polymerisation of plasma-purified Z α1-antitrypsin with a mean pIC50 of 8.3[1].
GSK716 binds selectively to monomeric Z α1-antitrypsin with a mean pKd of 8.5, showing 50-fold lower affinity for wild-type M α1-antitrypsin and no binding to polymeric Z α1-antitrypsin[1].
GSK716 (50 µM) stabilises both Z and wild-type M α1-antitrypsin against heat-induced unfolding, as shown by increased transition midpoint temperatures in a SYPRO Orange thermal stability assay[1].
GSK716 (1:50 to 1:1 molar ratios of GSK716 to protein) corrects misfolding of Z α1-antitrypsin during rapid refolding from urea denaturation, restoring monomeric conformation at stoichiometric and higher concentrations[1].
GSK716 (50 µM) abolishes the protease inhibitory activity of Z and wild-type M α1-antitrypsin but does not interfere with the inhibitory activity of other related serpins[1].
GSK716 completely blocks intracellular polymerisation of Z α1-antitrypsin in CHO-TET-ON-Z-A1AT cells (mean pIC50 6.3) and increases its secretion (mean pEC50 6.2), while restoring ER stress sensitivity to wild-type levels[1].
GSK716 inhibits intracellular polymerisation of Z α1-antitrypsin in ZZ iPSC-derived human hepatocytes (mean pIC50 6.4), increases its secretion by approximately threefold (mean pEC50 6.5), and promotes clearance of pre-existing intracellular polymers[1].
GSK716 (10-100 μM; 48 h) potently inhibits intracellular polymerization and promotes secretion of sensitive AAT variants (including Z AAT) in Hepa 1.6 cells[2].
GSK716 (40 nM (fluorescent derivative for Z-A1AT); 2 μM (fluorescent derivative for M-A1AT); overnight at room temperature, 3 days at 4°C plus 6 hours at room temperature) binds to purified Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin with a high affinity Kd of 1.5 nM, demonstrating 200-fold faster association kinetics with Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin compared to M-alpha-1-antitrypsin[3].
GSK716 (50 μM; heated from 25°C to 95°C at 1°C/min) increases the native state stability of purified M-alpha-1-antitrypsin and Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin against heat-induced unfolding[3].
GSK716 (10 μM; 2-hour pre-incubation, followed by 4-hour heat incubation at 48-65°C) blocks heat-induced polymerisation of purified plasma-derived Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin in vitro[3].
GSK716 (0-50 μM; 4-hour denaturation, 1-hour refolding incubation) promotes the refolding of denatured purified M-alpha-1-antitrypsin and Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin into native, non-polymerised monomers[3].
GSK716 inhibits intracellular Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin polymer formation (pIC50 = 6.4) and increases Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin secretion by approximately 3-fold (pEC50 = 6.5) in iPSC-derived ZZ-alpha-1-antitrypsin hepatocytes[3].
GSK716 (10 μM) restores tunicamycin sensitivity of Z-alpha-1-antitrypsin-expressing CHO-TET-ON-Z-A1AT cells to the level of wild-type M-alpha-1-antitrypsin-expressing cells by abrogating intracellular polymer formation[3].
GSK716 binds to a cryptic site on recombinant Cys232Ser alpha-1-antitrypsin, inducing conformational changes that stabilise the protein and prevent polymerisation[3].

GSK716 (10-100 mg/kg; p.o.; three times a day; 3-20 days) dose-dependently increases circulating monomeric Z α1-antitrypsin levels by up to 8-fold in transgenic mice with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, but does not reduce established liver polymer burden within 20 days of dosing[3].
