GSK6853

Aqueous soluble, high-affinity, BRPF1 bromodomain-targeting inhibitor with potent cellular efficacy and good pharmacokinetic properties in mice in vivo.

GSK6853 is a GSK5959 structural analog with improved aqueous solubility (140 μg/mL vs. 8 μg/mL for GSK5959 in pH 7.4 PBS), affinity toward BRPF1 bromodomain (pKd = 9.5 vs 8.0 for GSK5959), cellular efficacy (pIC50 = 7.7 vs 6.0 for GSK5959; against NanoLuc-BRPF1 bromodomain interaction with Histone H3.3-HaloTag in HEK293 cells), and selectivity, displaying little or no inhibitory potency against a panel of 48 channels/receptors/enzymes and >1600-fold reduced affinity toward other bromodomains tested (>90-fold in the case of GSK5959), including those of BRPF2 (BRD1) and BRPF3. GSK6853 displays good bioavailability when administered via intraperitoneal injection in mice in vivo (Cmax = 469 ng/mL, Tmax = 0.25 h, F = 85%; 3 mg/kg i.p.). The structural analog GSK9311 serves as a good inactive control (125- and 185-fold reduced potency in cell-free and cell-based assays, respectively).
