CAFESTOL is a ERK inhibitor for AP-1-targeted activity against PGE2 production and the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells. Cafestol has strong inhibitory activity on PGE2 production by suppressing the NF-kB activation pathway.

Endothelin-1 (1-31) (Human) TFA, a potent vasoconstrictor and hypertensive agent, originates from the chymase-mediated selective hydrolysis of big ET-1 [1].

Laxiflorin B, a novel selective inhibitor of ERK 1/2 derived from herbal sources, exhibits antitumor activity [1].

CK2/ERK8-IN-1 (TMCB) is a dual inhibitor of casein kinase 2 (CK2) (Ki: 0.25 µM) and ERK8 (IC50s: 0.50 μM) with pro-apoptotic efficacy. CK2/ERK8-IN-1 also binds to PIM1, DYRK1A, and HIPK2 (Kis: 8.65 µM, 11.9 µM, and 15.25 µM).

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), an active component isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, suppresses the activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, and downregulates matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2, (MMP)-9 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Astragaloside IV is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.1 It dose-dependently inhibits human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) in A549 cells (IC50 = 23 μM; LC50 = 865 μM).It inhibits replication of HAdV-3 and decreases HAdV-3-induced apoptosis. It has diverse protective effects for the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. In particular, it reduces myocardial infarct size in dogs when administered prior to coronary ligation and reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts.
