Uses
TAK 715 is a p38 MAPK inhibitor for p38α and p38β but not for p38γ and p38δ.
Definition
ChEBI: N-[4-[2-ethyl-4-(3-methylphenyl)-5-thiazolyl]-2-pyridinyl]benzamide is a member of benzamides.
Biological Activity
tak-715 is a selective inhibitor of p38 mapk with ic50 value of 7.1 nm [1].p38 mitogen-activated protein (map) kinases (p38 mapks) are a class of mitogen-activated protein kinases and play an important role in controlling cellular responses to cytokines and stress. four p38 mapks contain members, p38-α (mapk14), p38-β (mapk11), p38-γ (mapk12/erk6), and p38-δ (mapk13/sapk4), have been identified. abnormal expression of p38 mapks are correlated with a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases and their inhibitors are regarded as promising targets in clinical [1] [2].tak-715 is a potent p38 mapk inhibitor and has a different selectivity with the reported p38 mapk inhibitor vx-745. when tested with human monocytic thp-1 cells, administration of tak-715 exhibited inhibition on p38mapkα with ic50 value of 7.1 nm [1]. in hek293t, u2os, and f9 cells, tak-715 was used to inhibit p38 mapk activity and concluded that p38 mapk had no function in wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway [2].in adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis rat model, administration of tak-715 at dose of 10 mg/kg significantly decreased lps-induced stimulated release of tnf-α (87.6%) by inhibiting p38 mapk activity [1].
