  • Publication number: 20190091225
    Abstract: Inappropriate activation of innate immune responses in nematode intestinal epithelial cells underlies the pathophysiology of some inflammatory disorders. Immunostimulatory xenobiotics are known to protect nematodes from bacterial infection (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Conversely, these same xenobiotics are toxic to uninfected nematodes. These xenobiotics were subjected to a forward genetic screen in uninfected nematodes to identify nematode mutants that were resistant to the deleterious effects of these xenobiotics. These resistant nematode strains contained hypomorphic mutations in each of the known components of the p38 MAP kinase cassette (tir-1, nsy-1, sek-1 and pmk-1), demonstrating that hyperstimulation of p38 MAPK innate immune responses may be responsible for the induced toxicity. A second genetic screen using dominant activators of the p38 MAPK pathway identified a single allele that had a gain-of-function (gf) mutation in nsy-1, the MAP kinase kinase kinase that acts upstream of p38 MAPK pmk-1.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a nitrogenous heterocyclic compound, intermediates, a preparation method, a composition and use thereof. The nitrogenous heterocyclic compound in the present invention is as shown in formula I. The compound has a high inhibitory activity towards ErbB2 tyrosine kinase and a relatively good inhibitory activity towards human breast cancer BT-474 and human gastric cancer cell NCI-N87 which express ErbB2 at a high level, and at the same time has a relatively weak inhibitory activity towards EGFR kinase. Namely, the compound is a highly selective small-molecule inhibitor targeted at ErbB2, and hence it has a high degree of safety, and can effectively enlarge the safety window in the process of taking the drug.
