p38α inhibitor 4 (CAS#: 1262406-08-5) is a selective allosteric inhibitor of p38α MAPK. It has an IC50 of 1.2 μM. p38α inhibitor 4 exhibits no activity against p38β, p38γ, and p38δ. It has a molecular formula of C14H7F6N3O and a molecular weight of 347.22. The compound is used to study diabetes, pain, and chronic inflammation. As an allosteric inhibitor, it binds to a site distinct from the ATP-binding pocket, offering potential advantages in selectivity and the ability to modulate kinase activity in a non-competitive manner.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
p38α 1.2 μM (IC50)
The primary target of p38α inhibitor 4 is p38α MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase α). p38α is a member of the p38 MAPK family, which plays a critical role in cellular stress responses, inflammation, and apoptosis. p38α inhibitor 4 is a selective allosteric inhibitor, meaning it binds to a site distinct from the ATP-binding pocket. This allosteric mechanism provides selectivity for p38α over other p38 isoforms (p38β, p38γ, and p38δ).
ln Vitro
p38α inhibitor 4 has an IC50 of 1.2 μM for inhibiting p38α. It exhibits no activity against p38β, p38γ, and p38δ, demonstrating high selectivity for the p38α isoform. As an allosteric inhibitor, it offers potential advantages in selectivity and the ability to modulate kinase activity in a non-competitive manner. The compound is used to study diabetes, pain, and chronic inflammation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, p38α inhibitor 4 is used to study the role of p38α in diabetes, pain, and chronic inflammation. By selectively inhibiting p38α, the compound can modulate inflammatory responses and pain signaling. Its efficacy would be assessed in animal models of these diseases, with endpoints including reduction of inflammatory markers, alleviation of pain, and improvement in metabolic parameters.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme activity assays for p38α inhibitor 4 typically involve measuring its ability to inhibit p38α kinase activity. Recombinant p38α enzyme is incubated with its substrate in the presence of ATP and increasing concentrations of the compound. Kinase activity is measured by detecting substrate phosphorylation, and the IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. The reported IC50 is 1.2 μM. Selectivity is confirmed by testing against p38β, p38γ, and p38δ.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for p38α inhibitor 4 involve treating cells with the compound and measuring inhibition of p38α-mediated signaling. Cells are stimulated with inflammatory stimuli (such as LPS or TNF-α) in the presence of increasing concentrations of the compound. Readouts include inhibition of p38α phosphorylation, downstream signaling (e.g., MAPKAPK2 phosphorylation), and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy of p38α inhibitor 4 would be evaluated in animal models of diabetes, pain, and chronic inflammation. The compound could be administered orally or via injection. Efficacy endpoints would include reduction of inflammatory markers, alleviation of pain, and improvement in metabolic parameters. Its effects on p38α signaling in target tissues would be assessed by Western blot or immunohistochemistry.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
p38α inhibitor 4 has a molecular weight of 347.22 and a molecular formula of C14H7F6N3O. It is a selective allosteric inhibitor of p38α with an IC50 of 1.2 μM. The compound exhibits no activity against p38β, p38γ, and p38δ. It is used to study diabetes, pain, and chronic inflammation. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is available for p38α inhibitor 4 in the provided literature. As a research compound, its safety profile would be an important consideration for in vivo applications. Potential toxicities could be related to its effects on p38α-mediated inflammatory and stress responses in various tissues. Standard preclinical safety studies would be required to evaluate its safety for potential therapeutic applications. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
