[CAS NO. 914295-16-2]  Fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate

R788 is a prodrug of the spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor R406. R788 is a competitive inhibitor for ATP binding with a Ki of 30 nM. R788 dose-dependently inhibits anti-IgE-mediated CHMC degranulation with an EC50 of 56 nM. R788 also inhibits the anti-IgE-induced production and release of LTC4 and cytokines and chemokines, including TNFα, IL-8, and GM-CSF. Inhibition of Syk by R788 results in inhibition of all phosphorylation events downstream of Syk signaling. Next to FcϵRI signaling in CHMC, R788 most potently inhibits the signaling of IL-4 and IL-2 receptors. R788 specifically inhibits FcγR signaling in human mast cells, macrophages, and neutrophils. R788 can inhibit local inflammatory injury mediated by immune complexes. R788 induces apoptosis of the majority of examined DLBCL cell lines. In R788-sensitive DLBCL cell lines, R788 specifically inhibits both tonic- and ligand-induced BCR signaling (autophosphorylation of SYK525/526 and SYK-dependent phosphorylation of the B-cell linker protein [BLNK]).
