NF-κB - ERK2

OP-1118 is a potent dual inhibitor of NF-κB and ERK1/2, targeting critical signaling pathways involved in inflammation and cell survival. This compound demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, anti-apoptotic, and antibacterial activities by inhibiting the phosphorylation of NF-κB and ERK1/2, leading to a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. In preclinical models of Clostridium difficile infection, OP-1118 effectively mitigates toxin-induced intestinal inflammation, cellular damage, and apoptosis, with its protective effects possibly reversible by PMA. This makes OP-1118 a valuable reagent for research into inflammatory conditions and therapeutic interventions.
