YS121
Based on 1 Customer Validation
YS121 is a dual inhibitor of microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1; IC50 = 3.4 μM) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX; IC50 = 6.5 μM). YS121 exhibits direct, reversible, and specific binding to mPGES-1 (KD = 10-14 μM). YS121 dose-dependently reduces PGE2 production with an EC50 of 12 μM in IL-1β-stimulated A549 cells. YS121 (compound 9) activates PPAR-α and -γ (EC50 = 1 and 3.6 μM, respectively). YS121 exhibits anti-inflammatory efficiency in human whole blood as well as in vivo. YS121 can be used for pleurisy research.

YS121 (0.3-30 μM) acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of mPGES-1 in interleukin-1β-stimulated human A549 cell microsomes, concentration-dependently and non-competitively blocking the conversion of PGH2 to PGE2, with no marked inhibition of other PGES enzymes[1].
YS121 (0.1-30 μM) concentration-dependently inhibits PGE2 formation with an IC50 value of 3 μM, and moderately suppresses PGE2 synthesis in the absence of CV4151[1].
YS121 (0.1-30 μM) inhibits PGE2 formation without affecting the synthesis of COX-2-derived 6-keto PGF1α and TxB2 or COX-1-derived 12-HHT in human whole blood[1].
YS121 (10 μM, 0-48 h) selectively modulates protein expression over a 48-hour period, specifically reducing COX-2 levels after 24 hours while leaving mPGES-1 expression unchanged[1].
