BDW568

BDW568, a prodrug of BDW-OH, serves as a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist. This compound effectively induces STING transcriptional activity, evidenced by a reporter assay in THP-1 cells, with an EC50 value of 7.6 µM. Furthermore, at a concentration of 50 µM, BDW568 prompts phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) within THP-1 cells, showcasing its biochemical activity in cellular signaling pathways.
