p38 is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily of enzymes that play an important role in signal transduction. PD 169316 is a selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK.1 It inhibits p38 MAPK with an IC50 of 89 nM, whereas the IC50s are >100-fold higher for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and >1,000-fold higher for protein kinase A (PKA) and PKCα.1 PD 169316 inhibits apoptosis of neuronal and non-neuronal cells deprived of specific trophic factors such as potassium or nerve growth factor.2,3WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
