MEK
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase; MAPKK; MAP2K
MEK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, MAPKK) is a kinase enzyme which phosphorylates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The activated MAPK leads to the phosphorylation of downstream transcription factors that regulate various responses such as stress signaling, pathogen response, and hormone signaling.
In general, the MAPKKK phosphorylates a serine or threonine residue on a MAPKK, which sequentially activates a MAPK (ERK, p38 or JNK), the last protein in the cascade. Activation of the p38 MAPK occurs mainly through mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) and MKK6 (sometimes MKK4). The JNK is regulated by two upstream MAP2Ks: MKK4 and MKK7. The highly homologous kinases, MEK1 and MEK2, act downstream of Ras and Raf to activate ERK mitogen-activated protein kinases.

Sophocarpine monohydrate
0 ImagesSophocarpine monohydrate is a PTEN activator and an inhibitor of PI3K/Akt, MEK/ERK, and NF-κB signaling pathways. Sophocarpine monohydrate upregulates PTEN expression and inhibits PI3K/Akt phosphorylation, arrests tumor cell cycle and induces apoptosis. Sophocarpine monohydrate inhibits MEK/ERK phosphorylation and VEGF secretion, reducing tumor cell migration. Sophocarpine monohydrate can also inhibit NF-κB activation and p38 and JNK phosphorylation, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors such as iNOS and COX-2, and activate the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to reduce oxidative stress. Sophocarpine monohydrate has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects, and can be used in the research of cancers such as glioblastoma and colorectal cancer, inflammation-related diseases, and Doxorubicin (HY-15142A)-induced cardiac damage.

Licoflavone A
0 ImagesLicoflavone A is an orally active PTP1B/VEGFR-2 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 54.5 μM against PTP1B, an IC50 of 14.36 μM and a Kd of 142.38 nM against human VEGFR-2. Licoflavone A blocks the PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signaling pathways. Licoflavone A induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest, apoptosis via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway (apoptosis), and inhibits migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. Licoflavone A inhibits the proliferation of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in xenograft models. Licoflavone A reduces the expression levels of HIF-1α, GLUT1, LDHA, PKM2 and HK2 in hypoxic gastric cancer cells, decreases glucose uptake and suppresses glycolysis. Licoflavone A can be used in research related to gastric cancer, type 2 diabetes and obesity.
