General description

SB 239063 helps to decrease neutrophilia, inflammatory cytokines, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and fibrosis in the lung.

Application

SB 239063 has been used to determine the roles of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 MAP kinase, and extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK)/p42/p44 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) on the viability and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes under glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibition. It has also been used in neuron-microglia conditioned media (CM) experiments and pharmacokinetics.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent p38 MAP kinase inhibitor. Selective for α and β. No activity against γ and δ isoforms.
