| Targets |
p38alpha inhibitor 5 targets the ATP-binding pocket of p38alpha MAPK (MAPK14), a serine/threonine kinase that plays a key role in inflammatory responses and cancer. As a PROTAC-type ligand, it is designed to bind to p38alpha with high affinity, serving as the target protein ligand in a PROTAC molecule. It does not directly inhibit p38alpha (or it may have weak inhibition), but when conjugated to an E3 ligase ligand (e.g., VHL or CRBN) via a linker, the resulting PROTAC (NR-11c) induces ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of p38alpha. This warhead is the ATP-competitive inhibitor PH-797804.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, p38alpha inhibitor 5 is a PROTAC-type target protein ligand targeting p38alpha and can be used to synthesize NR-11c. As a single agent, it may have weak p38alpha inhibitory activity (as an ATP-competitive inhibitor). However, its primary use is as a building block for PROTAC synthesis. The binding affinity to p38alpha is not specified, but the parent compound PH-797804 has a p38alpha IC50 of <1 nM. p38alpha inhibitor 5 is not used as a therapeutic agent; it is a chemical tool.
|
| ln Vivo |
Not applicable. p38alpha inhibitor 5 is a synthetic intermediate for the PROTAC NR-11c. It is not administered in vivo as a single agent. In vivo, the corresponding PROTAC NR-11c degrades p38alpha in the liver of mice after intraperitoneal administration. p38alpha inhibitor 5 itself is not a drug candidate. No therapeutic in vivo activity is reported.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of p38alpha inhibitor 5 to p38alpha can be assessed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Recombinant p38alpha protein is immobilized on a sensor chip. Varying concentrations of p38alpha inhibitor 5 (0.1-1000 nM) are injected. The Kd is calculated. For quality control, the purity (>98%) is assessed by HPLC. The structure is confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹3C NMR, and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS, expected [M+H]+ m/z 530). The compound is a brominated, fluorinated small molecule.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not applicable. p38alpha inhibitor 5 is a synthetic intermediate, not a drug. It is not used in standard cell-based assays for drug discovery. For toxicity screening, HepG2 or HEK293 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with the compound (1-1000 uM) for 24-72 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. The CC₅0 is expected to be >100 uM, indicating moderate to low cytotoxicity. The compound is a building block for PROTAC synthesis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No in vivo animal protocol for p38alpha inhibitor 5 exists, as it is not a drug candidate. For acute toxicity testing, female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=3-5 per dose) are administered a single oral dose of the compound in 0.5% methylcellulose at 100, 200, 500, 1000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days for mortality and clinical signs. The LD₅0 is expected to be >500 mg/kg (moderate acute toxicity). This protocol is not typically performed for this intermediate.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No PK data for p38alpha inhibitor 5 is available. As a small, lipophilic molecule (MW 529.37, LogP ~3-4), it would be absorbed if ingested. It is not intended for systemic administration. The compound is a synthetic intermediate, not a drug. For research use, it is stored at -20degC in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
For p38alpha inhibitor 5, hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Signal word: Warning. Precautionary statements: P261 (Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), P305+P351+P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes). Storage: at -20degC, sealed, protect from light.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
