What is U0126-EtOH?

The Uses of U0126-EtOH

A chemically synthesized and highly selective inhibitor of both MEK1 and MEK2 with IC50s of 70 nM and 60 nM, respectively.

Definition

ChEBI: U0126.EtOH is an addition compound obtained by combining equimolar amounts of (2Z,3Z)-bis{amino[(2-aminophenyl)sulfanyl]methylidene}butanedinitrile (U0126) and ethanol. An inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase that also exhibits anti-cancer properties. It has a role as an EC 2.7.11.24 (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor, an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent, an antioxidant, an osteogenesis regulator and a vasoconstrictor agent. It contains an U0126.

Biological Activity

u0126-etoh is a selective inhibitor of mek1 and mek2 with ic50 values of 70 nm and 60 nm, resepctively [1].u0126 was screened out as an anti-inflammatory agent that inhibited ap-1 transcription with ic50 value of 1μm and had no interactions with gres. u0126 binds mek1/2 in a unique site. this inhibition of mek1/2 is noncompetitive with erk and atp. u0126 showed no effects on other mapkks. in ht22 cells, u0126 treatment significantly inhibited the cell injury caused by oxidative glutamate toxicity and remarkably blocked the phosphorylation of erk1/2. besides that, u0126 exerted no neuroprotection against other stimuli such as tnfα and actinomycin d. u0126 treatment also protected the primary cultured cortical neurons from oxidative glutamate toxicity and hypoxia/reoxygenation [1, 2].
