MLKL-IN-6 (compound P28) is a mixed lineage kinase inhibitor targeting Mixed Lineage Kinase domain-like (MLKL). MLKL-IN-6 inhibits cell necrosis. MLKL-IN-6 inhibits MLKL phosphorylation and oligomerization during cell necrosis, inhibits immune cell death, and reduces the expression of adhesion factors. MLKL-IN-6 has low cytotoxicity, and it inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, reduces liver fibrosis marker levels, and has anti-fibrotic effects.
