  2. MMP NF-κB Apoptosis TNF Receptor
  3. TAPI-1

TAPI-1 is a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor and NF-κB p65 inhibitor that targets ADAM17/TACE, ADAM10 and other proteins. TAPI-1 reduces the proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound TNF-α, decreases TNF-α levels, inhibits NF-κB pathway activation, and downregulates profibrotic markers. TAPI-1 reduces the proportion of proinflammatory immune cells, alleviates cardiac and airway fibrosis, and improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction. Meanwhile, TAPI-1 inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells, enhances the chemosensitivity of Cisplatin (HY-17394), induces apoptosis, and shows low toxicity to normal esophageal epithelial cells. TAPI-1 can be widely used in studies related to myocardial infarction-induced heart failure, severe traumatic tracheal stenosis, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and other conditions.

    In Vitro

    TAPI-1 (1.25-20 μM; 24-72 h) inhibits viability of TE-1 and Eca109 ESCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner without affecting viability of normal Het-1A esophageal epithelial cells[3].
    TAPI-1 (10 μM; 24 h) upregulates TRAIL mRNA in TE-1 ESCC cells but does not alter apoptosis-related gene expression in Eca109 ESCC cells; TAPI-1 (5 μM; 12 h) downregulates multiple Cisplatin (HY-17394) resistance-related genes in both TE-1 and Eca109 ESCC cells[3].
    TAPI-1 (10 μM; 72 h) does not induce apoptosis in TE-1 or Eca109 ESCC cells, but TAPI-1 (5 μM; 48 h) enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in both TE-1 and Eca109 ESCC cells[3].
    TAPI-1 (5 μM; 48 h) enhances the sensitivity of TE-1 and Eca109 ESCC cells to cisplatin, as shown by significantly reduced cisplatin IC50 values[3].
    TAPI-1 (10 μM; 12 h) suppresses NF-κB signaling in TE-1 and Eca109 ESCC cells by reducing NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation[3].

    TAPI-1 delivered via neutrophil-mimic liposomal nanoparticles (TAPI-1-Neu-LNPs) (50 µg; i.v. via tail vein; every other day; 4 weeks) significantly improves left ventricular function, mitigates cardiac remodelling, reduces cardiac fibrosis, and attenuates inflammatory immune cell infiltration in rats with myocardial infarction, with superior efficacy compared to untargeted TAPI-1 (50 µg; i.v. via tail vein; every other day; 4 weeks)[1].
    TAPI-1 (0.8 mg/mL; local tracheal spray; once weekly; 3 weeks), either alone or combined with a silicone stent, significantly alleviates severe traumatic tracheal stenosis in Beagle dogs by inhibiting the ADAM17/TGF-β1 pathway, with TAPI-1 alone achieving the lowest degree of tracheal stenosis[2].

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
