A cell-permeable synthetic peptide NEMO-binding domain peptide (NBD peptide) corresponding to the NEMO amino-terminal alpha-helical region is shown to block TNF-alpha-induced NF-kB activation. The interaction of IKγNEMO with the IKK complex is vital for the activation of the IKK complex and the subsequent activation of NF-kB.

(R)-Naroparcil is an isomer of Naroparcil. Naroparcil, a 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-xyloside analog, is associated with vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inhibits thrombus formation in the Wessler slough model.

BRD7389 is an inhibitor of RSK family kinase with IC50s of 1.5 μM, 2.4 μM, and 1.2 μM for RSK1, RSK2, and RSK3, respectively.
