IKK16 is a potent, selective inhibitor of IκB kinase (IKK) with IC50 of 40, 70 and 200 nM for IKKβ, IKK complex and IKKα respectively.
IKK16 inhibits TNF-α-stimulated IκB degradation and expression of adhesion molecules E-selectin, ICAM and VCAM with IC50 of 1.0, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.3 uM respectively.
IKK16 inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α release in vivo and neutrophil extravasion in thioglycollate-induced peritonitis models.
