BMS 582949

Biological Activity

bms-582949 is a p38 mapk inhibitorp38r map kinase plays a key role in regulating the biosynthesis of various inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1β. thus, p38r inhibitors are considered as a promising therapy for inflammatory disease treatment.

in vitro

bms-582949 was found to be 450-fold selective over jnk2, a map kinase involved in inflammation, and 190-fold selective against raf. moreover, the binding mode of bms-582949 with p38r was further demonstrated by x-ray crystallographic analyses [1].

in vivo

in a pseudoestablished rat adjuvant arthritis model, bms-582949 at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg was found to display dose-dependent reduction in paw swelling with qd dosing. in addition, with bid dosing at doses of 1 and 5 mg/kg, bms-582949 showed improved efficacy, resulting in great reduction in paw swelling. moreover, the statistically significant reduction in paw swelling was also observed with the treatment of bms-582949 at doses as low as 0.3 mg/kg bid [1].
