Description
RWJ-67657 is a potent, orally active inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. It selectively inhibits p38α and p38β over p38γ, p38δ and a range of other kinases. RWJ-67657 inhibits the release of TNF-α by lipopolysaccharide (a monocyte stimulus)-treated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with an IC50 of 3 nM, as well as the release of TNF-α from peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (a T cell stimulus), with an IC50 of 13 nM. RWJ-67657 may have use as a treatment for inflammatory diseases.
