Targets

ACKR1
Comments:  ACKR1 may play a role in the temporal regulation of asthma pathophysiology and symptoms.
MMP2
Comments:  MMP2 and MMP9 can promote the egress of inflammatory cells into airway lumen, suggesting a protective anti-inflammatory role in asthma. MMP2/MMP9 gelatinolytic activity is elevated in the sputum of asthmatic patients
MMP8
Comments:  MMP8 plays a protective role in asthma by promoting the clearance of recruited neutrophils.
MMP9
Comments:  MMP2 and MMP9 can promote the egress of inflammatory cells into airway lumen, suggesting a protective anti-inflammatory role in asthma. MMP2/MMP9 gelatinolytic activity is elevated in the sputum of asthmatic patients.
MMP12
Comments:  a common serine variant of the MMP12 gene in human (rs652438) causes more aggressive extracellular matrix degradation and is positively associated with disease severity. Thus MMP12 is a drug target for novel asthma therapeutics.
ADAM33
Comments:  ADAM33 is implicated in the pathology of asthma.
epidermal growth factor receptor
Role:  Although EGFR signalling is an important pathway in bronchial epithelial repair, its dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma (Holgate, 2000). Over-expression of EGFR and its ligands by airway epithelial cells have been seen in patients with asthma in relation to disease severity (Amishima et al., 1998; Enomoto et al., 2009). There is also evidence that the asthmatic airway epithelium challenged with EGF can enhance the production of pro-survival and pro-migratory factors for neutrophils that may contribute to airway mucosal inflammation in severe asthma (Uddin et al., 2013).

Clinical Use: GSK2245035 has completed Phase 2 clinical trials in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis. Results from early clinical evaluation in trials for allergic rhinitis, NCT01480271 (Phase 1) and NCT01607372 (Phase 2), are reported in [83], and results from NCT02446613 reported in [22]. | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: In vivo findings disclosed in WO2010018133 report that GSK2245035 (Example 22) induces IFNα production, with mean serum levels reaching 21029 pg/ml (none detected in control mice) [10]. Early clinical trial results show clear target engagement at a dose of 20ng (as detected by local and peripheral increase of IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10) and an accceptable safety profile doses acheiving a local TLR7-mediated immune response [83]. Doses above 100ng were associated with undesireable cytokine release syndrome-related symptoms.

Direct binding assays have not been performed for this compound, rather its engagement with TLR7 has been assessed in functional assays measuring ligand-induced increases in downstream cytokine production/release [9]. An EC50 of ~4.5nM for IFNα production in PBMCs is reported [9]. | View biological activity

MK-0359
Immuno Disease Comments: Completed Phase 2 clinical evaluation in asthma- see NCT00482898
Clinical Use: MK-0359 exhibited clinical efficacy in a Phase 2 study in asthma patients (NCT00482898), but caused gastrointestinal adverse effects [50]. It has completed Phase 2 studies in rheumatoid arthritis (NCT00482417) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (NCT00482235). | View clinical data
Bioactivity Comments: MK-0359 is active in vitro and in vivo [40]. It blocks LPS-induced TNF-α formation in whole blood assays with a potency similar to that exhibited by . Evidence suggest that majority of the anti-inflammatory effect of PDE4 inhibition is through PDE4B and PDE4D isozymes, and that PDE4D, as the major isoform in the brain responsible for emesis [68], is associated with the adverse gastrointestinal (GI) events associated with PDE4 inhibition. MK-0359 inhibits the hydrolysis of cAMP by PDE4A, 4B and 4D with similar potencies, which accounts for the adverse GI effects observed in clinical trial [50]. | View biological activity

benralizumab 21
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved drug for severe eosinophilic asthma.
Clinical Use: In November 2017, the US FDA approved benralizumab as an add-on maintenance treatment for patients with severe eosinophilic phenotype asthma (aged 12 years and older). EMA marketing approval is pending a final decision, with their Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) having recommended marketing authorisation on 9th November 2017 [24]. Results from Phase 3 clinical trial NCT01914757 are published in [28]. Analysis of trial outcomes show that not all asthma patients will respond to benralizumab, but that in patients with high eosinophil counts (> 300 cells per μL) annual exacerbation rates were significantly reduced. These suggest that targeting the biologic to specific patient populations will provide most clinical benefit.

IL-6 27,57,85,89
Immuno Disease Comments: IL-6 is an important regulator of immune responses and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Genome-wide association studies have revealed that genes specific to IL-6 signalling are associated with an increased asthma risk (Ferreira et al., 2011). Increased levels of IL-6 have been reported in the serum of patients with asthma (Yokoyama et al., 1995). Sputum concentrations of IL-6 show an inverse relationship with lung function in asthmatics (Morjaria et al., 2011). Elevated lung epithelial IL-6 levels have been detected in asthmatic patients with increasing disease severity and are probably a characteristic of the pathobiological processes in mucosal airway inflammation in severe asthma (Uddin et al., 2013).
