Mechanism of Action

Features	A potent and selective inhibitor to p38α and p38β MAPK.
Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	p38α 10 nM p38β 220 nM
In vitro	Neflamapimod (VX-745) selectively inhibits p38α and p38β MAPK with IC50 of 10 nM and 220 nM, respectively, but not p38γ MAPK and a large panel of other kinases, with IC50 larger than 20 µM. In a human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) assay, it provides IC50 of 56 and 52 nM for IL-1β and TNFα, respectively. This compound blocks IL-6 and IL-8 production induced by IL-1 and TNFα, and COX-2 synthesis mediated by LPS and IL-1β. At concentrations of 60 nM-20 µM, it inhibits IL-6 and VEGF secretion in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), without affecting their viability. It also inhibits TNF-α-induced IL-6 secretion in BMSCs. Furthermore, it inhibits both multiple myeloma (MM) cell proliferation and IL-6 secretion in BMSCs triggered by adherence of MM cells to BMSCs, suggesting that VX-745 can inhibit paracrine multiple myeloma (MM) cell growth in the BM milieu and overcome cell adhesion-related drug resistance.
Kinase Assay	Spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay
Kinase Assay	The IC50 values for Neflamapimod (VX-745) were obtained via spectrophotometric coupled enzyme assays for the inhibition of p38α and p38β isoforms. Fixed concentrations of enzyme (15 nM p38α or p38β) were incubated with the compound in DMSO at 30 °C for 10 minutes in a buffer consisting of 0.1 M HEPES (pH 7.5) containing 10% glycerol, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2.5 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 200 µM NADH, 150 µg/mL pyruvate kinase, 50 µg/mL lactate dehydrogenase, and 200 µM EGF receptor peptide (KRELVEPLTPSGEAPNQALLR). Reactions were initiated by the addition of 100 µM (for p38α assay) and 70 µM (for p38β assay) ATP, respectively. Reaction rates were tracked by monitoring the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm, and IC50 values were evaluated from the rate data as a function of the inhibitor concentration.
In vivo	Neflamapimod (VX-745) is effective against adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) in the rat with ED50 of 5 mg/kg. Histological scores for this compound in AA rats are 93% inhibition of bone resorption and 56% inhibition of inflammation. In the classical cartilage-induced arthritis model, it exhibits a dose-responsive decrease in severity score. In a type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice model, VX-745 (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) has 27%, 31%, and 44% improvement in the inflammatory scores, respectively, when compared to vehicle-treated mice. In addition, histological scores show a 32-39% protection of bone and cartilage erosion by it.
