Application

SL327 has been used as an inhibitor of dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) in Zebrafish embryos and lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC).
SL327 was used to study the role of MAPK signaling in interictal spiking and behavior of epileptic rats. It was used to study the effect of estradiol on ERK signaling in mouse dorsal hippocampus.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SL327 is a selective MEK1/2inhibitor (IC50 values are 0.18 and 0.22 μM for MEK1 and MEK2 respectively), which blocks hippocampal LTP in vitro. SL327 is a brain penetrant in vivo blocking fear conditioning and learning in rats, and producing neuroprotection in mice following systemic administration.

There is increasing evidence suggesting that the Locus Coeruleus plays a role in pain-related anxiety. Indeed, we previously found that prolonged arthritis produces anxiety-like behavior in rats, along with enhanced expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (a marker of

Epilepsy is a disease characterized by chronic seizures, but is associated with significant comorbidities between seizures including cognitive impairments, hyperactivity, and depression. To study this interictal state, we characterized the electrical, molecular, and behavior effects of chronic, neocortical interictal spiking

The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway is critical for various forms of learning and memory, and is activated by the potent estrogen 17beta-estradiol (E(2)). Here, we asked whether E(2) modulates memory via ERK activation and putative membrane-bound estrogen receptors (ERs).

Lymphatic vascular development involves specification of lymphatic endothelial progenitors that subsequently undergo sprouting, proliferation and tissue growth to form a complex second vasculature. The Hippo pathway and effectors Yap and Taz control organ growth and regulate morphogenesis and cellular proliferation.
