JTP-27536 inhibited IgE production in mouse and human B cells with IC50 values of 2.5 and 2.1 μM, respectively, and the inhibition was stronger than that on IgG1 and IgM production (IC50 > 10 μM). JTP-27536 also inhibited IL-5 production in mouse splenocytes and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with IC50 values of 3.3 and 1.3 μM, respectively, without affecting mouse interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, or human IL-4 production. In contrast, prednisolone not only inhibited mouse IgE production but also mouse IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-10 and human IL-4 and IL-5 production in vitro. The effect of suplatast tosilate, a Th2 cytokine inhibitor, on antibody and cytokine production was less potent than that of JTP-27536. In vivo animal experiments using dinitrophenylated ascaris-sensitized mice and 2,4,6-trinitro-1-chrolobenzene-induced chronic dermatitis mice showed that JTP-27536 was more potent than suplatast tosilate and comparable with prednisolone in inhibiting ear swelling, antigen-specific IgE and IL-5 production, and cell infiltrations into the inflamed tissue. These results indicate that JTP-27536 is an inhibitor of Igs, in particular IgE, and of IL-5, which has antiallergic properties in mouse dermatitis model, and suggest that an inhibitor of Igs and IL-5 like JTP-27536 may be useful as a drug for the treatment of allergic diseases.
