1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases are a major source of morbidity and mortality world-wide, the pathogenesis of which are characterised by the interplay of key pro-inflammatory and oxidative enzymes. Here, we report the development of a small molecule dual inhibitor targeting vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), two clinically relevant pro-inflammatory/oxidative enzymes that play complementary pathogenic roles in various inflammatory diseases. This agent, SNT-8370 [(E)-3-(3-((2-(aminomethyl)-3-fluoroallyl)oxy)benzyl)-2-thioxo-1,2,3,7-tetrahydro-6H-purin-6-one)], irreversibly inhibits VAP-1 and MPO activity with equivalent and enhanced nanomolar potency, respectively, when compared to benchmark clinical VAP-1 and MPO inhibitors. SNT-8370 is selective, exhibiting >100-1000-fold more potency for VAP-1 and MPO versus other mammalian (per)oxidases and shows no significant off-target activity in established preclinical screening panels. In vivo, SNT-8370 is metabolically stable, exhibits a favourable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile without CNS penetration, and effectively inhibits VAP-1 and MPO activities. Moreover, compared to monotherapy, SNT-8370 more effectively inhibits leukocyte infiltration in mouse peritonitis, carrageenan air pouch, and lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury models of acute inflammation. SNT-8370 is also protective in preclinical models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and unilateral-ureteral-obstruction-induced nephropathy. Collectively, our results support SNT-8370 as a first-in-class, mechanism-based dual inhibitor of VAP-1 and MPO, and as a promising therapeutic for the clinical treatment of inflammatory disorders.
