| Targets |
p38alpha-IN-4 targets p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), a serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in cellular responses to stress and inflammation. The p38 MAPK pathway is activated by various stimuli, including inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress, and regulates the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. p38alpha-IN-4 is a potent and selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK, with an IC50 of 68 nM. By inhibiting p38 MAPK, the compound reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and may have therapeutic potential in inflammatory diseases.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, p38alpha-IN-4 is a potent inhibitor of p38 MAPK with an IC50 of 68 nM. Its activity is typically measured using kinase assays with recombinant p38 MAPK and a peptide substrate. The compound is selective for p38 MAPK over other kinases. These in vitro studies confirm the compound's potent and selective p38 MAPK inhibitory activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
p38 MAPK-IN-1 (Compound 4; 1 mg/kg i.v., 10 mg/kg oral) suppresses TNFα production dose-dependently with an ED50 of 0.5 mg/kg[1]; it has a t1/2 of 7.4 hours, a CL of 2.7 mL/min/kg i.v., and a Cmax of 5.3 μM in males PO in Wistar rats.
In vivo, p38alpha-IN-4 has sustained levels, low clearance, and good bioavailability. It has shown excellent action in a chronic model of arthritis. These findings suggest that p38alpha-IN-4 has the proper balance between potency and pharmacokinetics for further study in inflammatory diseases. However, specific in vivo protocols and results are not detailed in standard product descriptions. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for p38alpha-IN-4 measure its inhibition of p38 MAPK activity. Recombinant p38 MAPK is incubated with a peptide substrate and ATP in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The incorporation of phosphate into the substrate is measured, and the IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. For p38alpha-IN-4, the IC50 is 68 nM. Selectivity is assessed by testing the compound against a panel of other kinases.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for p38alpha-IN-4 are used to study its effects on p38 MAPK signaling and inflammation. Cells are treated with the compound and then stimulated with an inflammatory stimulus, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or TNF-α. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, is measured by ELISA. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and its downstream targets is assessed by Western blotting. These assays confirm the compound's activity as a p38 MAPK inhibitor.
