MK2-IN-6 (Compound 11) is a potent and selective irreversible MK2 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.3 nM. MK2-IN-6 inhibits MK2 kinase activity, achieving prolonged MK2 signaling suppression and reducing pathological inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. MK2-IN-6 inhibits the M2-like protumor phenotype of macrophages both in vitro and in vivo, which is proming for research of colorectal cancer[1].
