TAK1, a member of the mitogen-activated kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) family, participates in proinflammatory cellular signaling pathways by activating JNK/p38 MAPKs and NF-kappaB. To identify drugs that prevent inflammation, we screened inhibitors of TAK1 catalytic activity. We identified a natural resorcylic lactone of fungal origin, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol, as a highly potent inhibitor of TAK1. This compound did not effectively inhibit the catalytic activities of the MEKK1 or ASK1 MAPKKKs, suggesting that 5Z-7-oxozeaenol is a selective inhibitor of TAK1. In cell culture, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol blocked interleukin-1- induced activation of TAK1, JNK/p38 MAPK, IkappaB kinases, and NF-kappaB, resulting in inhibition of cyclooxgenase-2 production. Furthermore, in vivo 5Z-7-oxozeaenol was able to inhibit picryl chloride-induced ear swelling. Thus, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol blocks proinflammatory signaling by selectively inhibiting TAK1 MAPKKK.
