NK 252 is an Nrf2 activator [1][2].
Nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that activates antioxidant response elements (AREs), plays a central role in stimulating expression of various antioxidant-associated genes in the cellular defense against oxidative stress. Keap1 is a cytosolic repressor of Nrf2 that retains Nrf2 in the cytoplasm [1].
NK 252 is an Nrf2 activator that interacts directly with the domain containing the Nrf2-binding site of Keap1. In Huh-7.5 cells, NK 252 activated the NQO1-ARE in a dose-dependent way, suggesting NK-252 has potential as Nrf2 activator in hepatic cells. NK-252 also protected Huh-7 cells against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity [1]. NK-252 was effective not only in circumventing the drug resistance, but also in potentiating the action of antitumor drugs against drug-sensitive tumors [2].
In nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model rats, NK-252 decreased fibrosis scores and significantly reduced liver fibrosis area in a dose-dependent way. NK-252 also significantly reduced plasma ALT levels and plasma AST levels, suggesting the hepatoprotective effects of NK-252. NK-252 increased NQO1 gene expression and exhibited antioxidant property in the livers of rats. NK-252 reduced fibrogenic gene expression and inhibited further progression of established fibrosis [1].
