E6201 (E-6201) is a novel, potent, and fungal metabolite analog and inhibitor of MEK-1/MEKK-1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1) with potential antipsoriatic, anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activities. As a novel anti-inflammatory agent, it has potent inhibitory effects on the production of proinflammatory cytokines from leukocytes and antiproliferative activity on keratinocytes. E6201 specifically binds to and inhibits the activities of MEK-1 and MEKK-1, which may result in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. MEK-1 and MEKK-1 are key components in the RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK signaling pathway, which regulates cell proliferation and is frequently activated in human cancers.
| ln Vitro |
The MEKK1 and MEK families are inhibited by E6201, however the MAPK family is not. MEKK1-induced phosphorylation of MEK1, MKK4, and MKK6 is inhibited by E6201, with IC50 values of 31, 522, and 65 nM, in that order. Other MAPK family enzymes like ERK2, JNK, and p38 MAPK are unaffected by E6201 at 10 μM [1]. With an IC50 value of 50±14 nM, E6201 suppresses TNF transcription induced by LPS, but it has no effect on β-actin transcription at 3 μM and only a minor inhibitory effect at 10 μM [1]. E6201 suppresses the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Syk, with an IC50 value of 460 nM, as well as the receptor tyrosine kinases VEGFR2, PDGFR, hepatocyte growth factor receptor, and EGFR, with IC50 values of 350, 860, 1100, and 5400 nM, respectively. At 100 μM, E6201 does not inhibit PKC activity and neither does it inhibit ZAP-70 or IKK [1]. With an IC50 value of 18 nM, E6201 suppresses the production of IL-2 48 hours after T cell mitogen PHA-P stimulation[1]. E6201 inhibits EGF-stimulated proliferation of human keratinocytes with an IC50 value of 160 nM[1]. After stimulating human keratinocytes with IL-1α or TNFα for 24 hours, E6201 inhibits the production of IL-8 with IC50 values of 60 and 30 nM, respectively[1]. E6201 inhibits the production of TNFα, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-8 by human PBMC, with IC50 values of 20, 16, 52 and 53 nM respectively[1]. E6201 (0.08-20.0 μM) significantly inhibits triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell proliferation and anchorage-independent colony formation in a dose-dependent manner [2]. E6201 (1 μM) inhibits the expression of phospho-ERK and induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in TNBC cells [2].

| ln Vivo |
Three weekly tail vein injections of E6201 (30 mg/kg) stop the growth of TNBC xenograft tumors. E6201 significantly reduces the expression of Ki-67 and pERK in xenograft tumor tissues [2].
