Description
A potent, selective, orally bioavailable IRAK-4 inhibitor that potently inhibits human and rat IRAK-4 activity with subnanomolar order, >30-fold selectivity over IRAK-1; inhibited IL-1beta- or TLR ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-6 production in human lung alveolar epithelial cells, fibroblast-like synoviocytes, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells; significantly reduces urinary protein excretion and preventd the development of glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis without affecting the blood pressure in mice model of chronic kidney disease
