VKT-17-P4-23 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable DksA inhibitor. DksA is a highly conserved transcriptional regulator in Gram-negative bacteria, with a Kd of 124 μM. Through the DksA-regulated, SPI-2-dependent survival pathway, VKT-17-P4-23 exhibits antibacterial activity against both planktonic and intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella, and also effectively combats persistent bacteria that are difficult to eliminate. VKT-17-P4-23 can be used in studies of Salmonella infection.

Description

VKT-17-P4-23 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable DksA inhibitor. DksA is a highly conserved transcriptional regulator in Gram-negative bacteria, with a Kd of 124 μM. Through the DksA-regulated, SPI-2-dependent survival pathway, VKT-17-P4-23 exhibits antibacterial activity against both planktonic and intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella, and also effectively combats persistent bacteria that are difficult to eliminate. VKT-17-P4-23 can be used in studies of Salmonella infection[1].

In Vitro

VKT-17-P4-23 (16 μg/mL; 20 h) inhibits growth of S. Typhimurium ATCC strain 14028s in EG minimal medium with an MIC of 16 μg/mL[1].
VKT-17-P4-23 (≥4 μg/mL; 20 h) inhibits growth of intracellular S. Typhimurium in J774 macrophage-like cells in a dose-dependent manner, with significant activity at concentrations ≥4 μg/mL[1].
VKT-17-P4-23 (16 μg/mL; 20 h) significantly reduces survival of in vitro-selected persistent S. Typhimurium cells exposed to DNA synthesis inhibitors[1].

In Vivo

VKT-17-P4-23 (1-10 mg/kg; i.v., i.p., p.o.; single dose) exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties in healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, with measurable tissue distribution including passage across the blood-brain barrier, and an intravenous half-life of 2.68 hours[1].
VKT-17-P4-23 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; every 12 hours; 12 hours pre-infection plus 3 total post-infection doses) significantly reduces Salmonella burden in systemic murine infection, eliminates liver histopathological lesions, and normalizes plasma liver enzyme levels[1].
VKT-17-P4-23 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; every 12 hours; 12 hours pre-infection plus 3 total post-infection doses) significantly reduces Salmonella burden in both gastrointestinal and systemic tissues during oral murine salmonellosis[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
