ABOUT
Syk inhibitor
R406 besylate (also known as Tamatinib besylate) is an R406 salt. R406 is the active metabolite of Fostamatinib. It was initially identified as a potent inhibitor of the spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). R406 binds to the ATP binding pocket of Syk and inhibits its kinase activity as an ATP-competitive inhibitor [1].
R406 has also been cited as an inhibitor of the Flt-3 and Ret tyrosine kinases [2]. Because Syk plays an important role in FcγR-mediated signal transduction and inflammatory propagation, it is considered a good target for the inhibition of various autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and lymphoma. R406 was shown to attenuate autoantibody-induced arthritis in mice [1]. and to induce significant apoptosis in cancers displaying Syk over-expression [3,4]. Interestingly, R406 selectively abrogates Syk-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation by C. albicans but not by the bacterial toxin nigericin [5].

Details
Spleen tyrosine kinase
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a tyrosine kinase that has long been associated with the adaptive immune response, in particular with signaling by B cell receptors (BCRs) and Fc receptors (FcRs). More recently, it has been linked with innate immunity [1]. Specifically, Syk participates in the innate recognition of fungal and other microbial pathogens by C-type lectins, namely Dectin-1, Dectin-2, and Mincle (Macrophage-inducible C-type lectin).
Syk activation by C-type lectins activates the caspase-recruitment domain 9–B cell lymphoma 10–mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (CARD9–BCL-10–MALT1) pathway. Syk is also required for the NLR family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation following fungal infection.
