Drugs in Clinical Pipeline: GRC 27864 | Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase-1 (mPGES-1) Inhibitor | Treatment for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

GRC 27864 is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable inhibitor of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1). Prostaglandins (PGs) are an important class of lipids related both to physiological and pathological conditions. Among them, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a key mediator of inflammation, pain and fever, but it is also important for the protection of the gastrointestinal mucosa, nutriuresis, blood pressure regulation, and ovulation.

Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) catalyzes the terminal step of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) generation. mPGES-1 is strongly upregulated in inflamed tissues and overexpressed in tumors. mPGES-1 inhibitors may be safer anti-inflammatory agents overcoming the side effects of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors.

GRC 27864 is blessed with single digit nanomolar potency in the recombinant human mPGES-1 enzyme and in the A549 cellular assays. Moreover, it is shown to be selective with other prostanoid synthases and was able to effectively regulate PGE2 biosynthesis in clinically relevant inflammatory settings.
