Description
Selonsertib (1448428-04-3) is a potent Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor (pIC50 = 8.3)1 found to improve metabolic parameters in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, reduce hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis2-4. Selonsertib suppressed the efflux function of multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2.5

Uses
Selonsertib is an apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic and anti-fibrotic activities. Selonsertib interacts with the catalytic kinase domain of ASK1 and prevents its phosphorylation and activation. As a result, the expression of genes involved in fibrosis, cellular proliferation, and apoptosis are down regulated.
