Apilimod inhibits IFN-γ production induced by either IFN-γ/SAC or SAC in human PBMCs, with an IC50 of approximately 20 nM. Apilimod show some inhibition against IFN-γ/SAC-induced TNF-α and ConA-induced IL-5 from human PBMCs at high concentrations, but no suppressive effect against IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, and IL-18 in all cultures tested. The p35 and p40 promoter-driven luciferase activities are significantly induced after stimulation with IFN-γ/LPS or IFN-γ/SAC, and are completely suppressed by 100 nM Apilimod[1].

M-CSF-stimulated macropinocytosis induces phosphorylation of the WNK1 kinase region in bone marrow myeloid progenitors. Mouse myeloid progenitors were isolated from the bone marrow and stimulated with M-CSF in the presence of vehicle, WNK463, or indicated macropinocytosis inhibitors EIPA, Apilimod (10 μM), and LY294002. Cells were harvested after 1 h, then assayed for WNK1 phosphorylation.

Protocolo
Cervical lymph node cells obtained from immunized mice on day 18 (2×105 cells/well) arecultured in 0.2 mL RPMI 1640 containing 10 mM HEPES, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acid, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1×10-5 M 2-mercaptoethanol, 10% FCS, and 10 μg/mL IRBP1-20. For cytokine assay, supernatants are collected after 72 hours and analysed for IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 by quantitative capture ELISA using quantikine ELISA kits and mouse IL-17 ELISA Ready-SET-Go kits. Cell proliferation is evaluated using a cell proliferation assay.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In most experiments, 5 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg Apilimod or vehicle only (0.5% carboxyl methyl cellulose) is orally administered once a day for six days a week from day 0 to day 14 after immunization. In the effector phase experiments, 20 mg/kg Apilimod or vehicle is orally administered once a day, from day 9 to day 14 after immunization.
