LL Z1640-2 (5Z-7-oxozeaenol) is a cis-enone resorcylic acid lactone first reported in 1978 and later rediscovered as an irreversible and highly selective TAK 1 inhibitor. TAK1 is a MAPKKK involved in the p38 signalling cascade for pro-inflammation signals such as cytokines. LL Z1640-2 effectively prevents inflammation in animal models.
LL Z1640-2 is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Limited water solubility.
