AZD7545 is a novel, selective small-molecule inhibitor of PDHK2 (PDH kinase2) with an IC50 of 36.8 nM and 6.4 nM for PDHK1 and PDHK2 respectively.

in vitro: The IC50 values for inhibition of PDHK2 and PDHK1 by AZD7545 were 6.4 ± 2.2 nM (n = 6) and 36.8 ± 18 nM (n = 3) respectively. Other compounds in this series inhibited both PDHK1 and PDHK2 and a consistent trend of reduced potency (5-15-fold) towards PDHK1, as compared with PDHK2, was observed. In contrast, AZD7545 and related compounds failed to inhibit PDHK4 and paradoxically, at higher concentrations (>10 nM), AZD7545 stimulated PDHK4 activity [1]. In the presence of PDHK2, AZD7545 increased PDH activity with an EC(50) value of 5.2 nM. In rat hepatocytes, the rate of pyruvate oxidation was stimulated 2-fold (EC(50) 105 nM) [2].
