Biological Activity

Description Apilimod is a potent and orally-available inhibitor of the cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) with the potential to treat certain autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Apilimod (STA-5326) inhibits IL-12 with IC50 of 1 nM, 1 nM and 2 nM, in IFN-γ/SAC-stimulated human PBMCs, human monocytes and mouse PBMCs, respectively. Apilimod (STA-5326) is also a cell permeable small molecule that specifically inhibits PIKfyve with IC50 of 14 nM.
Targets
IL-12 [1]
( in IFN-γ/SAC-stimulated human PBMCs)		 IL-12 [1]
(in human monocytes)		 IL-12 [1]
(in mouse PBMCs)		 PIKfyve [1]
1 nM 1 nM 2 nM 14 nM
In vitro

Apilimod selectively inhibits TLR-induced cytokine expression. It selectively inhibits the production of IL12p40, whereas it has little effect on IL8 production in THP-1 cells[1].

Apilimod reduces not only PtdIns(3,5)P2 production but also that of PtdIns5P in intact cells[2].
In vivo

Apilimod is a first-in-class PIKfyve kinase inhibitor for treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
