Use of MF63

MF63 is a selective mPGES-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.9 nM and 1.3 nM for pig mPGES-1 and human mPGES-1 enzyme, respectively. IC50 value: 0.9 nM ( pig mPGES-1); 1.3 nM (human mPGES-1)Target: mPGES-1MF63 potently inhibited the human mPGES-1 enzyme with a high degree (>1000-fold) of selectivity over other prostanoid synthases. In rodent species, MF63 strongly inhibited guinea pig mPGES-1 but not the mouse or rat enzyme. When tested in the guinea pig and a knock-in (KI) mouse expressing human mPGES-1, the compound selectively suppressed the synthesis of PGE(2), but not other prostaglandins inhibitable by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), yet retained NSAID-like efficacy at inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced pyresis, hyperalgesia, and iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritic pain.
