CMC2.24 (TRB-N0224) is an orally active tricarbonylmethane agent that demonstrates effectiveness in inhibiting Ras activation and the downstream effector ERK1 2 pathway, thus effectively combating pancreatic tumor formation in mice. Additionally, CMC2.24 exerts potent inhibitory effects on zinc-dependent MMPs, with IC50s ranging from 2.0-69 μM. Furthermore, CMC2.24 aids in alleviating the progression of osteoarthritis by restoring cartilage homeostasis and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis through the NF-κB HIF-2α axis[1][2][3].
