Merck, A0233-5MG, AS605240

Application
AS605240 has been used:
as a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor to study its effect on Rab5-positive early endosome (EE) vesicles.
as a (PI3K) inhibitor to treat splenocytes for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induction.
as a class 1A PI3K inhibitor to treat CD4+ T cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions
AS605240 inhibits human recombinant phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) γ, α, β, and δ by competing with adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It plays a role in protecting injury following ischemic stroke. AS605240 also inhibits the activation of astrocytes under the influence of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R). It reduces collagen deposition and prevents lung inflammation. AS605240 also inhibits the increase of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression instigated by bleomycin. It is effective in preventing pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and T lymphocytes infiltration into lungs.
AS605240 is a potent and selective PI3Kγ inhibitor.
