IC50: 9 nM (LRRK2)

Maintaining the methoxy/fluoro arrangement at C-2′/C-5′ and varying aminoalkyl R1 substitution resultes in single-digit nanomolar LRRK2 cellular activities for GNE-7915 and compound 19. Expanded Invitrogen kinase profiling (187 kinases) at 0.1 μM for both GNE-7915 (100-fold over LRRK2 Ki) and 19 (250-fold over LRRK2 Ki) resultes in only TTK showing greater than 50% inhibition. Selectivity profiling using the DiscoverX KinomeScan55 competitive binding assay panel, which includes 392 unique kinases, is also performed for GNE-7915 at 0.1 μM. Binding of >50% probe displacement is detected for 10 kinases and of >65% for only LRRK2, TTK, and ALK, further supporting the excellent LRRK2 selectivity for GNE-7915. Cerep receptor profiling, including expanded brain panels, suggestes that GNE-7915 and 19 only inhibite 5-HT _2B with >70% inhibition at 10 μM. GNE-7915 and 19 are confirmed to be moderately potent 5-HT _2B antagonists in vitro functional assays.
