(S)-p38 MAPK inhibitor III is a methylsulfanylimidazole that inhibits p38 MAP kinase (IC50 = 0.90 μM in vitro). It is cell-permeable, potently blocking the release of TNF-α and IL-1β from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (IC50s = 0.37 and 0.044 μM, respectively).
p38 MAPK inhibitor IV is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of p38 MAP kinases with IC50 values of 0.13, 0.55, 5.47, and 8.63 μM for p38α, p38β, p38x, and p38δ, respectively, in vitro.[1] It also inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-1β cytokine production (IC50s = 22 and 44 nM, respectively) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
TOPK-p38 JNK-IN-1 (Compound B12) is an orally active inhibitor of the TOPK-p38 JNK signaling pathway, with an IC50 value of 2.14 μM for the inhibition of NO production. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting downstream phosphorylation of related proteins and preventing the degradation of TOPK [1].
p38 MAPK-IN-3 (Compound 2c) is a potent inhibitor of p38α MAPK, displaying antitumor properties by promoting apoptosis and increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production [1].
