Ralimetinib (LY2228820) is a potent and selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of p38 MAPK α/β, with IC50s of 5.3 and 3.2 nM, respectively. Ralimetinib (LY2228820) selectively inhibits phosphorylation of MK2 (Thr334), with no effect on phosphorylation of p38α MAPK, JNK, ERK1/2, c-Jun, ATF2, or c-Myc[1].

p38β MAPK: 3.2 nM (IC₅₀); p38α MAPK: 5.3 nM (IC₅₀)
