Function
M3K5_HUMAN Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. Plays an important role in the cascades of cellular responses evoked by changes in the environment. Mediates signaling for determination of cell fate such as differentiation and survival. Plays a crucial role in the apoptosis signal transduction pathway through mitochondria-dependent caspase activation. MAP3K5/ASK1 is required for the innate immune response, which is essential for host defense against a wide range of pathogens. Mediates signal transduction of various stressors like oxidative stress as well as by receptor-mediated inflammatory signals, such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Once activated, acts as an upstream activator of the MKK/JNK signal transduction cascade and the p38 MAPK signal transduction cascade through the phosphorylation and activation of several MAP kinase kinases like MAP2K4/SEK1, MAP2K3/MKK3, MAP2K6/MKK6 and MAP2K7/MKK7. These MAP2Ks in turn activate p38 MAPKs and c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs). Both p38 MAPK and JNKs control the transcription factors activator protein-1 (AP-1).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Structural analysis of a known apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) inhibitor bound to its kinase domain led to the design and synthesis of the novel macrocyclic inhibitor 8 (cell IC50 = 1.2 muM). The profile of this compound was optimized for CNS penetration following two independent strategies: a rational design approach leading to 19 and a parallel synthesis approach leading to 26. Both analogs are potent ASK1 inhibitors in biochemical and cellular assays (19, cell IC50 = 95 nM; 26, cell IC50 = 123 nM) and have moderate to low efflux ratio (ER) in an MDR1-MDCK assay (19, ER = 5.2; 26, ER = 1.5). In vivo PK studies revealed that inhibitor 19 had moderate CNS penetration (Kpuu = 0.17) and analog 26 had high CNS penetration (Kpuu = 1.0).
