NG-25 is a type II kinase inhibitor that inhibits MAP4K2 and TAK1. It also inhibits the Src family kinases Src and LYN and Abl family kinases as well as CSK, FER, and p38α. NG 25 prevents TNF-α-induced IKKα/β phosphorylation and IκB-α degradation in L929 cells. It inhibits secretion of IFN-α and IFN-β induced by CpG type B and CL097, respectively. NG 25 decreases cell viability of HCT116KRASWT, and to a greater degree of HCT116KRASG13D, colorectal cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It also reduces tumor growth and increases the number of TUNEL-positive tumor cells in a CT26KRASG12D mouse orthotopic model of colorectal cancer.
