Product Description
BIRB 796 (also known as doramapimod) is a novel, orally bioactive, and highly potent pan-p38 MAPK inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory activity that can be taken orally. In cell-free assays, it inhibits p38α/β/γ/δ with IC50 values of 38 nM, 65 nM, 200 nM, and 520 nM.In THP-1 cells, it binds to p38α with a Kd of 0.1 nM. It has a 330-fold higher preference for p38α/β/γ/δ JNK2 over JNK2 and only moderate inhibition of c-RAF, Fyn, and Lck. A mouse model of established collagen-induced arthritis shows that BIRB 796 (30 mg/kg) is effective at inhibiting 84% of TNF-α in LPS-stimulated mice. The N-pyrazole-N'-naphthly urea class of p38MAPK inhibitors, which includes BIRB-796, binds to the kinase with slow association and dissociation rates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
p38α (IC50 = 38 nM); p38β (IC50 = 65 nM); p38δ (IC50 = 520 nM); p38γ (IC50 = 200 nM); B-Raf (IC50 = 83.4 nM); Abl (IC50 = 14600 nM); p38 MAP kinase (Kd = 0.1 nM)
ln Vitro
BIRB 796 shows no significant inhibition to ERK-1, SYK, IKK2β, ZAP-70, EGF receptor kinase, HER2, protein kinase A (PKA), PKC, PKC-α, PKC-β (I and II) and PKC-γ. By forming a hydrogen bond between the morpholine oxygen and the ATP-binding domain of p38α, BIRB 796 significantly raises binding affinity. The inhibitor of the human p38 MAP kinase, BIRB 796, is one of the most effective and slowly dissociating inhibitors currently available. [1] BIRB 796 potently inhibits c-Raf-1 and Jnk2α2 with IC50 of 1.4 and 0.1 nM, respectively. [2] In addition, BIRB796 inhibits SAPK3/p38γ activity and activation at a higher concentration than it does for p38α. The scaffold protein SAP97, a physiological substrate of SAPK3/p38γ, is phosphorylated under stressful conditions, but BIRB796 prevents this from happening. In HEK293 cells, BIRB796 inhibits JNK1/2 activation and activity, but it has no effect on ERK1/ERK2 activation or activity in Hela cells. Additionally, rather than promoting dephosphorylation, the binding of BIRB796 to the p38 MAPKs or JNK1/2 inhibits their phosphorylation by the upstream kinases MKK6 or MKK4. [3] By blocking both baseline and bortezomib-induced upregulation of p38 MAPK and Hsp27 phosphorylation, BIRB 796 increases cytotoxicity and caspase activation. BMSCs stimulated by TNF-α and TGF-β1 secrete IL-6 and VEGF, which are downregulated by BIRB 796. [4] The pyrazole scaffold of BIRB-796 places a lipophilic t-butyl group in the lower selectivity site and a tolyl ring in the upper selectivity site. Additionally, BIRB-796 inhibits B-Raf and Abl with IC50 values of 83 nM and 14.6 μM, respectively. [5]
ln Vivo
BIRB 796 (30 mg/kg) inhibits 84% of TNF-α in mice stimulated with LPS, and it shows effectiveness in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis. [1] BIRB 796 BIRB 796 exhibits good pharmacokinetic performance even after oral administration in mice. [2]
Enzyme Assay
THP-1 cells are preincubated for 30 min. both with and without BIRB 796. LPS is added to the cell mixture in a final concentration of 1 μg/mL, and the above-mentioned incubation is carried out overnight (18–24 hours). A commercially available ELISA is used to check the supernatant for human TNF-α. An EC50 value is calculated by combining the data and performing nonlinear regression analysis using a three parameter logistic model. In each experiment, BIRB 796 is examined, and the 95% confidence intervals for the EC50 range from 16 to 22 nM.
Cell Assay
Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 and HeLa cells are exposed to 0.5 M sorbitol for 30 min or 100 ng/mL EGF for 10 min and then lysed in buffer A (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 10 mM sodium fluoride, 50 mM sodium β-glycerophosphate, 5 mM pyrophosphate, 0.27 M sucrose, 0.1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1% (v/v) Triton X-100) plus 0.1% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol and Complete proteinase inhibitor mixture. The supernatants are removed from the lysates after being centrifuged at 18,000× g for 5 min at 4°C. They are then quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept at -20°C until needed. Whenever necessary, cells are pre-incubated for 1 hour with or without 10 μM SB 203580, 10 μM PD 184352, or with various concentrations of Doramapimod for the durations shown in the figures.
Animal Protocol
Mice: The animals are 6- to 8-week-old athymic nude mice (BALB/c-nu/nu), weighing 18 to 24 g. Doramapimod (10 mg/kg p.o., every 3 days×5) is given to the mice as a treatment. Every three days, the animal weights, the diameters of the two perpendicular tumors (A and B), and the estimated tumor volume (V) are all recorded.
Rats: Age-matched nontransgenic Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (MDC) and male transgenic dTGRs (RCC Ltd) are used. There are two different protocols used. In protocol 2, rats from the untreated dTGR (n=15), dTGR+BIRB796 (n=11) and SD (n=8 each group) groups are examined. Every week, a tail cuff is used to measure systolic blood pressure. In metabolic cages, 24-hour urine samples are taken from weeks 5 to 7. At week 7, serum is collected. Clinical standard assays are used to measure serum creatinine and cystatin C. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used to measure the albumin content of rat urine. Protocol 2 aims to concentrate on electrophysiological changes and mortality. Up to week 8, untreated dTGR (n = 10), dTGR+BIRB796 (n = 10), and SD (n = 10) rats are investigated.
