Mepazine (2975-36-2) was originally used clinically as a tranquilizer and antipsychotic medication.  It has more recently been identified as a potent (IC50 = 830 nM) MALT1 protease inhibitor.1 It inhibited anti-apoptotic NF-kB signaling and decreased IL-2 production in diffuse large B cell lymphoma leading to apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Mepazine reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.2 It was also able to reverse epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in TNBC leading to reduced metastatic disease.3 Mepazine also prevented the development of DSS-induced experimental colitis via inhibition of NF-kB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.4 It also alleviated cytokine storm in a mouse model of acute T-cell activation.5
