Description

Pyridone 6 displays potent inhibitory activity against JAK1 (IC50 = 15 nM for murine JAK1), JAK2 (IC50 = 1 nM), JAK3 (Ki = 5 nM), and Tyk2 (IC50 = 1 nM). JAK1 (Janus kinase 1), JAK2 and JAK3 belong to the family of non-receptor janus tyrosine kinases, which regulate a spectrum of cellular functions downstream of activated cytokine receptors in the lympho-hematopoietic system. Immunological stimuli, such as interferons and cytokines, induce recruitment of STAT transcription factors to cytokine receptor-associated JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3. Pyridone 6 inhibited osteoclast differentiation in mouse bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cultures stimulated by the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) ligand (RANKL) and co-cultures of bone marrow cells and osteoblasts. Pyridone 6 suppressed the expression of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1 in BMMs. It also inhibited the bone resorptive activity of mature osteoclasts that was accompanied by disruption of actin rings. Pyridone 6 also suppressed I-kappaB degradation and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in mature osteoclasts, suggesting that these are the key molecules that pyridone 6 targets in the inhibition of osteoclast function.
