jnk inhibitor viii

JNK Inhibitor VIII (TCS JNK 6o) is an ATP-competitive, selective inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) with IC50 values of 45 nM for JNK-1 and 160 nM for JNK-2.

AKT inhibitor VIII (AKTi-1 2) is a highly specific inhibitor of Akt1 2, with IC50 values of 58 nM and 210 nM respectively, demonstrating approximately 36-fold greater selectivity for Akt1 over Akt3.

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), also known as stromelysin-1, is a critical enzyme involved in tissue remodeling and repair through its role in degrading extracellular matrix proteins, facilitating cell migration. This enzyme has been implicated in various physiological processes including vascular remodeling associated with aneurysm formation, wound healing, the progression of atherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. MMP-3 inhibitor VIII, a cell-permeable sulfonamide-based hydroxamic acid, effectively inhibits MMP-3 by binding to its active site (Ki = 23 nM), thus blocking its enzymatic activity. Additionally, this inhibitor has been demonstrated to suppress the activity of mouse macrophage metalloelastase MME/MMP-12, with an IC50 value of 13 nM, highlighting its potential utility in research on tissue remodeling and disease processes involving MMPs.
