az tak1

AZ-Tak1 is a potent and a relatively selective inhibitor of TAK1 kinase activity, with an IC50 of 0.009 mM. AZ-Tak1 treatment decreased the level of p38 and ERK in mantle cell lymphoma cells, and induced apoptosis in a dose and time dependent manner, with an IC50 of 0.1–0.5 mM. Using the annexin-V and PI staining and FACS analysis, After 48 hours of incubation, AZ-Tak1 (0.1 mM) induced apoptosis in 28%, 34% and 86% of Mino, SP53, and Jeko cells, respectively, which was increased to 32%, 42%, and 86% when 0.5 mM concentration was used.

TAK1 MAP4K2 inhibitor 1 is a potent dual inhibitor of TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) and MAP4K2 [IC50s: 41.1 nM and 18.2 nM].

AZ-1 is an inducer of ABCA1 and apoE. It enhances ABCA1 activity and decreases P2X7 receptor activity. AZ-1 activates endogenous LXR signaling but shows no direct LXRα or LXRβ agonist activity.

KW 4099 is a thromboxane A2 antagonist.
