Autotaxin (ATX) inhibitor | BI-2545
ReviewsChemical structure
Highlights
BI-2545 inhibits human ATX with an IC50 of 2.2 nM. In human whole blood BI-2545 inhibits Autotaxin with an IC50 of 29 nM and in rat whole blood with an IC50 of 96 nM.6 In vivo BI-2545 demonstrated after a single oral dose to rats at 10 mg/kg a LPA reduction of up to 90%. We also offer BI-3017 as inactive control.

Target information
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes the abundant phospholipid lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to produce lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Recent studies suggest that the ATX-LPA axis is highly implicated in a number of pathophysiological diseases including inflammation, cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
