Targeting ASK1 by CS17919 alleviates kidney‐ and liver‐related diseases in murine models by Guoqiang Liao, Qianjiao Yang, Xuhua Mao, Yiru Zhao, Beizhong Chen, Kun Zhang, Yu Zhang, Ping Zhang, Zhengli Chen, Shengjian Huang

“…Abstract Background Apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a MAP3K kinase in the MAPK signaling pathway activated by stressors and triggers downstream biological effects such as inflammation and apoptosis; therefore, inhibition of ASK1 kinase activity can protect cells from pathological injury. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel selective ASK1 inhibitor, CS17919, and investigated its pharmacological effects in various animal models of metabolic injury. …”
