| Description: | Compound (Ia) was prepared according to the general methods described above. Compound (Ia) and compound A (below) were screened for anti-necrotic activity utilizing human FADD-deficient Jurkat T cells challenged with human TNF-alpha. FADD−/− Jurkat cells (Juo P, et al. Cell Growth Differ. 1999, 10(12):797-804) were seeded at the density of 5*105 cells/mL into 96 well white plates (Costar) at 100 μL/well. Compound A was identified as an inhibitor of necrosis in U.S. Pat. No. 7,491,743, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Cells were treated in duplicate with various concentrations of test compounds in the presence or absence of 10 ng/ml human TNF-alpha. (Cell Sciences). The compounds were also tested in the presence of TNF-alpha and an Smac mimetic (10 nM of SM-164 (Lu et al, Cancer Res., 2008, 68:9384). Smac mimetics are a class of compounds that inhibit IAPs and are thought to induce autocrine TNF-alpha production and cell death. |
