KM11060

KM11060 is a corrector of the F508 deletion (F508del)-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) trafficking defect. KM11060 can be used for the research of F508del-CFTR processing defect and development of cystic fibrosis therapeutics^[1]. In Vitro: Small-molecule correctors such as KM11060 may serve as useful pharmacological tools in studies of the F508del-CFTR processing defect and in the development of cystic fibrosis therapeutics. KM11060 rescues F508del-CFTR trafficking in cultured cells and native epithelial tissues. KM11060 partially corrects F508del-CFTR processing and increases surface expression to 75% of that observed in cells incubated at low temperature. Up to 50% of the F508del-CFTR in cells treated with KM11060 was complex-glycosylated, indicating passage through the Golgi. KM11060 as a promising compound for further development of CF therapeutics. [1] In Vivo: In LPS-induced acute lung inflammation, blockade of PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1) or P-selectin, antagonism of PAF by WEB2086, or correction of mutated CFTR trafficking by KM11060 could significantly increase plasma lipoxin A4 levels in F508del relevant to wildtype mice.
