E6446 dihydrochloride
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
E6446 dihydrochloride is a potent and orally acitve TLR7 and TLR9 antagonist, used in the research of deleterious inflammatory responses. E6446 dihydrochloride is also a potent SCD1 inhibitor (KD: 4.61 μM), significantly inhibiting adipogenic differentiation and hepatic lipogenesis through SCD1-ATF3 signaling. E6446 dihydrochloride also improves liver pathology in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and may be useful in the study of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Biological Activity
|
TLR7 |
TLR9 |
E6446 dihydrochloride is a potent and orally acitve TLR7 and TLR9 inhibitor. E6446 potently suppresses DNA stimulation of HEK:TLR9 cells, with an IC50 value of 10 nM, but is significantly less effective at suppressing LPS endotoxin stimulation of HEK:TLR4 cells or R848 stimulation of HEK:TLR7 cells. E6446 potently inhibits IL-6 production induced by CpG2216 but is ineffective against induction by the TLR3 ligand poly inosine-cytosine. The ability of E6446 to inhibit TLR7 is ligand dependent, E6446 is a potent inhibitor of IL-6 induction by RNA but a relatively poor inhibitor of IL-6 induction by the small molecule imidazoquinoline ligand R-848. E6446 suppress TLR9-DNA interaction in vitro, with an IC50 in the 1 to 10 μM range[1]. E6446 (0.01-0.03 μM) specifically inhibits TLR9 activation with CpG ODN 2006, and blocks TLR7/8 activated by the imidazoquinoline compound R848 at 2-8 μM. E6446 reduces 50% of TLR4 activation at 30 μM, and shows IC50s of 0.01 μM and 0.23 μM in HEK-TLR9 cells stimulated with oligo 2006 and in human PBMCs stimulated with oligo 2216, respectively[2].

Protocol
E6446 is assayed for the suppression of BALB/c mouse spleen interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in response to stimulation by oligonucleotide CpG1668. E6446 is added to dissociated splenocytes (5 × 105 per well in complete RPMI/10% fetal bovine serum in a 96-well plate) before addition of TLR agonists. Cells are stimulated for 72 hours, and supernatants are removed for ELISA analysis of IL-6. Mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) are generated by culturing BALB/c marrow cells in RPMI containing 100 ng/mL Flt3 ligand for 7 days. Cells (1 × 105) in 50 μL are assayed for IL-6 production after overnight or 24-hour stimulation with various TLR ligands. For studies using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, Ficoll-separated mononuclear cells are isolated from healthy volunteer donors, washed, and plated with stimulatory oligonucleotide CpG2216 in complete RPMI for 72 hours. Interferon in supernatant is quantified by ELISA[1].

Mice[1]
MRL/lpr mice are dosed orally five times a week with 20 or 60 mg/kg E6446 or 60 mg/kg hydroxychloroquine beginning at 5 weeks of age. Cytoxan is administered at 50 mg/kg i.p. every 10 days. A serum sample is taken immediately before the beginning of treatment to monitor changes in autoreactive antibodies. Subsequently, serum samples are collected approximately monthly and analyzed for anti-dsDNA by ELISA after 1:500 dilution. Body weights and urine samples are taken at the same interval, and proteinuria is assessed by ChemStrips. Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are assessed using commercially available HEp2 slide kits, with serum diluted to 1:100 in kit buffer. ANA scores are read blinded[1].
