MKK4 (IC₅₀ = 4 nM);
MKK7 (IC₅₀ = 181 nM)[1]
The primary targets of BSJ-04-122 are MKK4 (MAP kinase kinase 4, also known as MEK4) and MKK7 (MAP kinase kinase 7, also known as MEK7). These are dual-specificity kinases that function as upstream activators of the JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) signaling pathway. MKK4 and MKK7 phosphorylate JNK at threonine and tyrosine residues, leading to JNK activation. BSJ-04-122 is a covalent inhibitor, meaning it forms an irreversible bond with its targets, resulting in sustained inhibition. By inhibiting both MKK4 and MKK7, BSJ-04-122 effectively blocks JNK activation. |

| ln Vitro |
MKK4 and MKK7 are inhibited by BSJ-04-122, with IC50 values of 4 nM and 181 nM, respectively[1]. JNK phosphorylation is significantly reduced by BSJ-04-122 (1, 5, 10 μM; 6 h) [1]. When coupled with JNK-IN-8, BSJ-04-122 (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 μM; 72 h) demonstrated increased antiproliferative effects [1].
Kinase activity inhibition: BSJ-04-122 covalently binds to the Cys247 residue of MKK4, dose-dependently inhibiting MKK4 and MKK7 kinase activities (IC₅₀: 4 nM for MKK4, 181 nM for MKK7). It directly blocks JNK phosphorylation by suppressing MKK4/7-mediated activation [1] Antiproliferative activity: In MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells, BSJ-04-122 (1-100 μM) exhibits concentration-dependent antiproliferative effects after 72-hour treatment. Its inhibitory effect is significantly enhanced when combined with JNK-IN-8, indicating a synergistic mechanism [1] Signal pathway regulation: Western blot analysis shows that BSJ-04-122 (1-10 μM) reduces the phosphorylation level of JNK at T183/Y185 in MDA-MB-231 cells after 6-hour treatment, confirming inhibition of the MKK4/7-JNK pathway [1] BSJ-04-122 inhibits MKK4 and MKK7 with IC50 values of 4 nM and 181 nM, respectively. At concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 μM for 6 hours, it significantly reduces the phosphorylation level of JNK, confirming its ability to inhibit the MKK4/7-JNK signaling axis. When combined with JNK-IN-8, BSJ-04-122 demonstrates enhanced anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells, suggesting a synergistic effect of dual MKK4/7 and JNK inhibition. The compound is supplied as a solid with a purity of 98.09% and is soluble in DMSO at 55.5 mg/mL (176.9 mM). |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, BSJ-04-122 is used in cancer research to study the role of the MKK4/7-JNK signaling pathway in tumor growth and progression. By covalently inhibiting MKK4 and MKK7, the compound blocks JNK activation and may reduce tumor cell proliferation and survival. Its efficacy would be assessed in animal models of cancer, with endpoints including tumor growth inhibition, analysis of JNK pathway signaling, and evaluation of anti-proliferative effects. The compound's covalent mechanism of action provides sustained target inhibition.

| Enzyme Assay |
MKK4/7 kinase activity assay: Recombinant MKK4 or MKK7 proteins are incubated with ATP and substrates (JNK or p38 MAPK) in reaction buffer, followed by addition of BSJ-04-122 at different concentrations (0.1-1000 nM). Substrate phosphorylation levels are detected (via radiolabeling or fluorescence labeling) to evaluate inhibitory effects. Results show BSJ-04-122 has significantly higher inhibitory activity against MKK4 than MKK7 [1].
In vitro enzyme activity assays for BSJ-04-122 typically involve measuring its ability to inhibit MKK4 and MKK7 kinase activity. Recombinant MKK4 and MKK7 enzymes are incubated with their substrate (JNK) in the presence of ATP and increasing concentrations of BSJ-04-122. Kinase activity is measured by detecting phosphorylation of JNK, and the IC50 values are determined from the dose-response curves. The reported IC50 values are 4 nM for MKK4 and 181 nM for MKK7. The covalent nature of the inhibition can be confirmed by pre-incubation and washout experiments. |
