JX401

Description

JX401 (349087-34-9) is a potent, cell-permeable inhibitor of p38α (IC50 = 32 nM). No inhibition of p38β was observed at 10 μM.

The Uses of JX401

JX-401 is a potent, reversible inhibitor of the p38α isoform of MAP kinase (IC50 = 32 nM). It does not inhibit the p38γ isoform. JX-401 is effective in mammalian cells, as it blocks the differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes.[Cayman Chemical]

The Uses of JX401

JX-401 is an inhibitor of p38α isoform MAP kinase, blocks the differentiation of myoblasts and myotubes.

What are the applications of Application

JX-401 is a potent non-cytotoxic cell membrane permeable p38α inhibitor

Definition

ChEBI: [2-methoxy-4-(methylthio)phenyl]-[4-(phenylmethyl)-1-piperidinyl]methanone is a N-acylpiperidine and a member of benzamides.

Biological Activity

Potent, reversible inhibitor of p38 α that displays no activity on the p38 γ isoform (IC 50 values are 32 nM and > 10 μ M respectively). Inhibits the differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes in mammalian cells in culture.

Storage

Room temperature
