[CAS NO. 383150-41-2]  JTE 013

JTE-013 inhibition of S1P2 significantly inhibits microvascular permeability in an in vivo animal model. JTE-013 modulates the responses of brain endothelium by inhibiting cerebrovascular permeability, the development of intracerebral heamorrhage, and neurovascular injury in an experimental model of stroke. JTE-013 reduced mast cell activation, airway infiltration, and the serum levels of histamine and several cytokines in vitro and in vivo studies. In a murine model, JTE-013 suppresses streptozotocin-induced blood glucose increases, pancreatic b cell apoptosis, and the incidence of diabetes. In a New Zealand obese diabetic mouse model under high-fat diet conditions, it protected pancreatic b cells. Treatment with JTE-013 also reduces plasma levels of IL-1b and IL-18 (endotoxin-induced inflammatory cytokines) in ApoE−/− mice and S1P2 gene deficiency reduces atherosclerosis. The compound offers a novel means of treating inflammatory disorders, such as, atherosclerosis and sepsis.
