Table 2.

Targets and off-targets of AZD1208 and HS38. Possible (off-)targets involved in anticontractile effects observed with AZD1208 and HS38 in this study, suggested by combination and alignment of previous data for affinities and IC50 values, with applied concentrations and findings in our experiments. See main text for references reporting available affinities and inhibition data from pharmacological profiling of both compounds

AZD1208 HS38
Kd 1 IC50 2 Kd IC50 3 Inhibition (10 µM) 3 Ki
Pim-1 0.2 nM 2.6 nM 1.8 µM 1.7 µM 77% 3, ca. 60% 4 2.94 µM
Pim-2 0.88 nM 150–164 nM 6.5 µM 18 µM 36% 3, ca. 10% 4  > 100 µM
Pim-3 0.76 nM 9–17 nM 810 nM 200 nM 76% 3, ca. 85% 4 208 nM
DAPK1 420 nM 300 nM 200 nM 89% 3
DAPK2 Probably >  > 10 µM 79 nM
ZIPK/DAPK3 Probably >  > 10 µM 280 nM ca. 85% 4 260 nM
MLCK Probably >  > 10 µM 19 µM 29% 3
ROCK Probably >  > 10 µM 200 µM 9% 3
Off-targets CDK7 38 nM, MAPK15 53 nM, CAMK4 360 nM, HIPK3 480 nM, STK17B 930 nM, seven further kinases > 10 µM IRAK4 1.4 µM, DYRK2 1.8 µM IRAK4 80%, DYRK2 79% 3
Prostate tissues α1-adrenergic contractions inhibited by 500 nM, but not by 100 nM α1-adrenergic contractions only slightly and partly inhibited by 3 µM
Interlobar arteries α1-adrenergic contractions partly inhibited by 500 nM α1-adrenergic contractions partly inhibited by 3 µM
Putative (off-)targets involved in anticontractile effects 5 DAPK1, CAMK4, HIPK3 (Kd/IC50 >  > 100 nM, < 900 nM). Pim kinases: no, because no inhibition with 100 nM ZIPK, IRAK4, DYRK2 (inhibition with 3 µM expected). Pim-1, -3: no, because no inhibition by 100 nM AZD1208. DAPK1: probably no, because no inhibition in prostate, but possible target for AZD1208 in prostate, while targets of AZD1208 and HS38 must be unshared between prostate and interlobar artery
