General description

A potent, cell-permeable, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of the α and β isoforms (IC50 = 44 nM), but not the γ or δ isoforms (IC50 >100 µM) of p38 MAP kinase. Inhibits IL-1 and TNF-a production in LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood monocytes (IC50 = 120 nM and 350 nM, respectively). Reported to protect against mild excitotoxic neuronal injury caused by NMDA and provides substantial protection against cell death induced by either oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) or magnesium deprivation in cultured neurons. Also reported to reduce myocardial reperfusion injury via inhibition of endothelial adhesion molecule expression and blockade of polymorphonuclear (PMN) accumulation.
A potent, cell-permeable, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of the α- and β-isoforms (IC50 = 44 nM), but not the γ- or δ-isoform (IC50 >100 µM), of MAP kinase p38. It inhibits IL-1 and TNF-α production (IC50 = 120 nM and 350 nM, respectively) in LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood monocytes. Also reduces brain injury and neurological deficits in cerebral focal ischemia and reduces myocardial reperfusion injury by reducing the expression of endothelial adhesion molecule and by blocking polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes accumulation.
