Background and purpose:: The ATP-gated P2X7 receptor has been shown to play a role in several inflammatory processes, making it an attractive target for anti-inflammatory drug discovery. We have recently identified a novel set of cyclic imide compounds that inhibited P2X7 receptor-mediated dye uptake in human macrophage THP-1 cells. In this study the actions and selectivity of one of these compounds, AZ11645373, were characterized. Experimental approach:: We measured membrane currents, calcium influx, and YOPRO-1 uptake from HEK cells expressing individual P2X receptors, and YOPRO1 uptake and interleukin-1? release from THP-1 cells in response to ATP and the ATP analogue benzoylbenzoyl ATP (BzATP). Key results:: AZ11645373 up to 10 ?M, had no agonist or antagonist actions on membrane currents due to P2X receptor activation at human P2X1, rat P2X2, human P2X3, rat P2X2/3, human P2X4, or human P2X5 receptors expressed in HEK cells. AZ11645373 inhibited human P2X7 receptor responses in HEK cells in a non-surmountable manner with KB values ranging from 5 - 20 nM, with mean values not significantly different between assays. KB values were not altered by removing extracellular calcium and magnesium. ATP-evoked IL-1? release from lipopolysaccharide-activated THP-1 cells was inhibited by AZ11645373, IC50 = 90 nM. AZ11645373 was > 500-fold less effective at inhibiting rat P2X7 receptor-mediated currents with less than 50% inhibition occurring at 10 ?M. Conclusions and implications:: AZ11645373 is a highly selective and potent antagonist at human but not rat P2X7 receptors and will have much practical value in studies of human cells.
