Tpl2 Kinase Inhibitor (hydrochloride) (Synonyms: c-Cot Kinase Inhibitor, MAP3K8 Kinase Inhibitor, Tumor Progression Locus 2 Kinase Inhibitor)

Tpl2 kinase inhibitor is an inhibitor of tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2; IC₅₀ = 0.05 µM).¹ It is selective for Tpl2 over MEK, p38 MAPK, Src, MK2, and PKC (IC₅₀s = >40, 180, >400, 110, and >400 µM, respectively). Tpl2 kinase inhibitor inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in isolated human monocytes and whole blood (IC₅₀s = 0.7 and 8.5 µM, respectively). It enhances differentiation induced by calcitriol in HL-60 and U937 leukemia cells when used at a concentration of 5 µM.² Tpl2 kinase inhibitor (5 µM) inhibits the proliferation of KG-1a leukemia cells.³
