Biochem/physiol Actions Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor; anti-inflammatory. Syk plays a major role in inflammation pathways via receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins, as well as B cell signaling. It is orally active, potent (Ki 7.5 nM), and highly selective for Syk vs other kinases (Lyn, Fyn, Src, Itk, Btk; Ki′s). |
