mlk in 1

MLK-IN-1 is a potent and selective mixed-lineage kinase 3 (MLK-3) inhibitor, showing excellent brain penetration and high specificity for MLK-3. MLK-IN-1 at 100 nM supports sustained axonogenesis in cultures challenged with HIV-1 Tat-activated microglia and protects neuronal cells from Tat-induced damage, establishing it as a valuable probe for neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration research.

MLK3-IN-1 (Compound 37) is a selective inhibitor of mixed-lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) with an IC50 of less than 1 nM. It also inhibits FAK with an IC50 of 15.5 μM. In both murine and human liver microsomes, MLK3-IN-1 demonstrates excellent metabolic stability.

MLK-IN-2 (Compound 9a), with its 3H-imidazole [4,5-b] pyridine structure, serves as a potent Mixed Lineage Kinase 3 (MLK3) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 6 nM. This compound is valuable for research in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases [1].
