Ralimetinib selectively inhibits phosphorylation of MK2 (Thr334) and has no effect on phosphorylation of p38α MAPK, JNK, ERK1 2, c-Jun, ATF2, or c-Myc. Ralimetinib is an effective and selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of p38 MAPK α β (IC50s: 5.3 and 3.
Potent and selective p38α and p38β degrader (DC50 < 50 nM). Displays no significant degradation of p38γ, p38δ, JNK1/2 or ERK1/2. Inhibits phosphorylation of MK2 in UV-treated cancer cells and LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). Exhibits similar effect to p38α gene knockout in BBL358 cells. Active in vivo.
MW-150 hydrochloride (MW01-18-150SRM hydrochloride) is a potent and selective inhibitor of p38α MAPK, with a Ki value of 101 nM. It exhibits excellent CNS penetration and oral bioavailability. MW-150 hydrochloride (MW01-18-150SRM hydrochloride) effectively suppresses the phosphorylation of MK2, a substrate of endogenous p38α MAPK, in activated glial cells.
