Biological Activity for VX 745
VX 745 is a highly potent and selective p38α/MAPK14 inhibitor, also inhibits p38β (IC50 values are 10 nM and 220 nM respectively). VX 745 blocks TNFα production in LPS-stimulated HWB in vitro (IC50 = 51-180 nM). Also reduces phosphorylation of p38MAPKα and the downstream target Hsp27, leading to vasodilation, reduces IL-1β levels and amyloid plaques in cortex and hippocampus and lowers CSF tau levels in vivo.
