IQ-1S free acid

IQ-1S free acid (IQ-1S) is an effective and specific c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Inhibitor. IQ-1S inhibits murine delayed-type hypersensitivity. IQ-1S can reduce inflammation and cartilage loss associated with CIA and can serve as a small-molecule modulator for mechanistic studies of JNK function in rheumatoid arthritis. IQ-1S is highly specific for JNK and that its neutral form is the most abundant species at physiologic pH.
