T-5224 is a non-peptidic small molecule AP-1 inhibitor that specifically inhibits the binding of AP-1 to the AP-1 binding site of the promoter region and was originally developed as an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suppressing inflammatory cytokines and MMPs without any side-effects.[1]
In vitro study indicated that transcriptional inhibition of the expression of MMPs by T-5224 is not limited to tumor cells only; it also occurs in the ECM of the surrounding tissue, and consequently, inhibits tumor cells from infiltrating the surrounding tissue. In addition, T-5224 potently inhibits the essential steps of metastasis, infiltration through the basement membrane barrier and migration into the ECM, by transcriptionally suppressing the expression of MMP-2 and -9.[1]
In vivo experiments demonstrated that T-5224 blocked serum TNF-α, HMGB-1, BUN, and creatinine concentrations, reducing mortality of LPS-induced AKI. These findings suggest that T-5224 may be protective against lethal LPS-induced AKI. T-5224 attenuated LPS-induced liver injury in mice. T-5224 may have beneficial effects in sepsis-induced organ dysfunctions. [3]
