MAPK-IN-8
MAPK-IN-8 is an orally active MAPK inhibitor. MAPK-IN-8 can restore the balance of gut microbiota, inhibit M1 macrophage polarization and suppress MAPK mediated inflammation. MAPK-IN-8 can be used in ulcerative colitis research.

MAPK-IN-8 (compound 20) (20 µM; 24 h) exhibits no significant toxicity toward RAW 264.7 cells[1].
MAPK-IN-8 (20 µM; pretreatment for 4 h + co-incubation with LPS (HY-D1056) (100 ng/mL for 12 h) significantly inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells with an inhibition rate of 67.64%. MAPK-IN-8 significantly downregulates the protein and mRNA expression levels of LPS-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in RAW 264.7 cells. MAPK-IN-8 reduces the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 [1].
MAPK-IN-8 (20 µM; pretreatment for 4 h + co-incubation with LPS (100 ng/mL) + IFN-γ (20 ng/mL) for 12 h) modulates macrophage polarization in RAW 264.7 cells. MAPK-IN-8 almost completely blocks polarization toward pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages while actively promoting polarization toward anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages[1].
MAPK-IN-8 (5-20 µM; pretreatment for 4 h + co-incubation with LPS (100 ng/mL for 12 h) inhibits the overactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway in RAW 264.7 cells. MAPK-IN-8 significantly reduces the phosphorylation levels of key components of the MAPK cascade (p38, JNK and ERK) in a dose-dependent manner[1].
MAPK-IN-8 (20 µM; pretreatment for 4 h + co-incubation with exposure to macrophage-conditioned medium for 16 h) significantly protects Caco2 intestinal epithelial cells against the degradation and disruption of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-4) induced by inflammatory mediators[1].
MAPK-IN-8 (> 128 µg/mL) does not exhibit direct antibacterial activity against various Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii) (MIC > 128 µg/mL)[1].

Protected and maintained the expression of intestinal epithelial tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-4).
Significantly suppressed the accumulation of M1 macrophages in the colon and spleen and the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (INOS, TNF-α, IL-6 and MPO) in vivo.
Inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPK signaling pathways (ERK, JNK and p38).
Reshaped the disrupted gut microbiota.
Showed no apparent toxic side effects on major organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
