jnj 527

Edicotinib (JNJ-527) is a blood-brain-penetrating, orally active, selective CSF-1R inhibitor (IC50 value is 3.2 nM), with less inhibitory effects on KIT (IC50 value is 20 nM) and FLT3 (IC50 value is 190 nM). Edicotinib (JNJ-527) can block microglial proliferation and attenuate neurodegeneration, and can be used to study Alzheimer's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Edicotinib, also known as JNJ-40346527, is a small molecule and orally available inhibitor of colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R; FMS) with potential antineoplastic activity. FMS tyrosine kinase inhibitor JNJ-40346527 blocks the receptor-ligand interaction between FMS and its ligand CSF1, thereby preventing autophosphorylation of FMS. As a result, unphosphorylated FMS cannot activate FMS-mediated signaling pathways, thus potentially inhibiting cell proliferation in FMS-overexpressed tumor cells.
