TC ASK 10 NLT 98%

TC ASK 10 (Compound 10) is a potent, selective and orally active apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 14 nM. The inhibitory activities of TC ASK 10 towards other representative panel of kinases are less than 50%, except for ASK2 (IC₅₀ of 0.51 μM)^[1]. In Vitro: TC ASK 10 (Compound 10; 0-10 μM; 1 hour; INS-1 cells) treatment inhibits streptozotocin (STZ)-induced JNK in INS-1 pancreatic β cells from 0.3 μM. Phosphorylation of p38 is also inhibited in a dosedependent manner^[1]. In Vivo: Pharmacokinetic profiles in rats are tested. TC ASK 10 (Compound 10•HCl; rat cassette doing at 0.1 mg/kg, iv and 1 mg/kg, po.) has a good oral bioavailability. The C_max, T_max and AUC_po,0-8h are 285.1 ng/mL, 1.67 h and 275.4 ng.h/mL, respectively for TC ASK 10^[1].
