JNK-IN-8 has been used as an inhibitor to address the importance of JNK signaling in withaferin A (WFA)-induced apoptosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)-L cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
JNK-IN-8 is a potent, selective and irreversible inhibitor of JNK1/2/3 that inhibits phosphorylation of c-Jun. JNK-IN-8 forms covalent bonds with a conserved cysteine residue.
JNK-IN-8 and lapatinib synergistically reduce cell viability in human triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) cell lines by inducing apoptosis. JNK-IN-8 and lapatinib result in accumulation of cytotoxic oxidative stress.
