Synonyms: 3-fluoro-GSK2606414 | compound 38 [PMID: 22827572] [1] | GSK PERK Inhibitor
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: GSK2606414 is an analogue identified by a medicinal chemistry study to find novel, potent and selective protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) inhibitors [1]. The official HGNC endorsed name for PERK is eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (with gene symbol EIF2AK3). GSK2606414 is highly selective and is orally available.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
GSK2606414 is reported to rescue early stage neurological defects in a mouse model of prion disease [3], likely by targeting the unfolded protein response (which is a common mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases [4]) . GSK2606414 has many low potency off-targets (see Table 5 [1]) with IC50 values > 1μM. Off-targets with IC50s in the 150-1000nM range include c-KIT, Aurora kinase B, protein tyrosine kinase 6 (BRK), MAP3K10, MER proto-oncogene, myosin light chain kinase 2 (MYLK2), inhibitor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells, kinase epsilon (IKBKe), neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 3 (TrkC) and MAP3K11 [1]. GSK2606414 broadly inhibits cytochrome P450s in human liver microsomes, with submicromolar inhibition of CYP2C8 (IC50 = 0.89 μM) indicating unfavourable pharmacokinetics [2]. |
