General description

A cell-permeable pyrrolopyridinyl compound that acts as a potent, selective, and ATP-biniding site-targeting MK-2/MAPKAP-K2 inhibitor (IC50 = 8.5, 81, and 210 nM agaisnt MK-2, MK-5, and MK-3, respectively), while exhibiting much less or no activity against 8 other commonly studied kinases. Shown to suppress LPS-induced TNF-α production in U937 cells (IC50 = 4.4 µM).
