Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), an active component isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, suppresses the activation of ERK1/2 and JNK, and downregulates matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2, (MMP)-9 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Astragaloside IV is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.1 It dose-dependently inhibits human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) in A549 cells (IC50 = 23 μM; LC50 = 865 μM).It inhibits replication of HAdV-3 and decreases HAdV-3-induced apoptosis. It has diverse protective effects for the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. In particular, it reduces myocardial infarct size in dogs when administered prior to coronary ligation and reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts.

TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is an antioxidant that induces an antioxidant response through the redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2.

SCH772984 is an ERK inhibitor that inhibits ERK1 and ERK2 (IC50=4/1 nM) and is highly selective and ATP-competitive. SCH772984 exhibits antitumor activity against BRAF or RAS mutant cells.

Ulixertinib (VRT752271) (BVD-523, VRT752271) is an effective and reversible ERK1/ERK2 inhibitor. The IC50 of Ulixertinib is less than 0.3 nM for ERK2.

Yoda 1 is an agonist of the Piezo1 channel that agonizes human- and mouse-derived Piezo1 (EC50=17.1/26.6 μM). Yoda 1 is also an inhibitor of glycine transporter protein 2 (GlyT2).

MK-8353 (SCH900353) is a potent, selective, and orally available inhibitor of ERK1/2 with IC50 values of 23.0 nM and 8.8 nM, respectively.

EF24 (3,5-Bis[(2-fluorophenyl)Methylene]-4-piperidinone) treatment increases the levels of activated caspase 3 and 9, and decreases the phosphorylated forms of MEK1 and ERK. EF24 shows potent anti-tumor activity in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) via deactivation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.

Lidocaine hydrochloride (Lignocaine hydrochloride) is a local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmic agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

Lidocaine Hydrochloride hydrate is an amide local anesthetic, has anti-inflammatory property.

Urolithin B is one of the gut microbial metabolites of ellagitannins and is found in diverse plant foods, including pomegranates, berries, walnuts, tropical fruits, and medicinal herbs. Urolithin B inhibits NF-κB activity by reducing the phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, and suppresses the phosphorylation of JNK, ERK, and Akt, and enhances the phosphorylation of AMPK. Urolithin B is also a regulator of skeletal muscle mass. Urolithin B has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Honokiol (NSC-293100) is the active principle of magnolia extract. It inhibits the activation of Akt and enhances the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2.

Tauroursodeoxycholate sodium (TUDC) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, used for the treatment of gallstones and liver cirrhosis.

1. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) possess anti-anxiety, and neuroprotective qualities. 2. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) reatment can induce a sustained activation of JNK, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPKs, it also can potentiate the pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of bortezomib in U266 cells. 3. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) has anti-inflammatory activity in activated macrophages, raising the possibility that this compound has a therapeutic potential for inflammatory conditions. 4. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) is an uncompetitive inhibitor of murine tyrosinase (K(I) 0.28mm), it strongly inhibits both melanogenesis and cellular tyrosinase activity in vitro in 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthin-stimulated B16 mouse melanoma cells or in vivo in zebrafish and mouse models.

trans-Zeatin ((E)-Zeatin) is the member of the plant growth hormone family known as cytokinins, which regulate cell division, development, and nutrient processing.

Methylthiouracil is a thiourea-class antithyroid agent that inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones and is commonly used to treat hyperthyroidism. Studies have shown that Methylthiouracil can also suppress the production of TNF-α and IL-6, as well as inhibit the activation of NF-κB and ERK1/2. It can be used to induce hyperlipidemia and neurological disorder models.

Tizaterkib (AZD-0364) is a potent and selective ERK2 inhibitor.
