Adezmapimod

Biological Activity

Adezmapimod (SB203580) is a P38 MAPK inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.3-0.5 μM, which is 10 times less selective than SAPK3(106T) and SAPK4(106T), and inhibits PKB phosphorylation with an IC50 of 3-5 μM. Adezmapimod is an autophagy and mitophagy activator and does not disrupt JNK activity.

Protocol (for reference only)

Cell Experiment
Cell lines	CT6 cells,BA/F3 cells and PBMC/T cells
Preparation method	2–5 × 106 rested CT6 cells were resuspended in 2 ml of RPMI, 5% fetal calf serum and preincubated with inhibitors or vehicle control as indicated in figure legends. Cells were then stimulated with 20 ng/ml recombinant human IL-2 for 5 min at 37 °C and pelleted in a minifuge for 30 s, medium was aspirated, and the pellet was lysed in the appropriate buffer. BA/F3 cells stably expressing deletion mutants of IL-2 receptor β chain (a generous gift from Professor T. Taniguchi, Tokyo, Japan) were maintained in glutamine containing RPMI further supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum and 0.2 μg/ml G418 (Calbiochem-Novabiochem) as described previously. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were prepared from buffy coat leukophoresis residues (North London Blood Transfusion Service, Colindale, London UK) and activated with 50 ng/ml OKT3 for 48 h. The cells were then washed extensively, rested overnight, and washed again before activating with IL-2; such cell preparations were >90% T cells . Cellular proliferation assays were performed by measurement of [3H]thymidine incorporation as described previously.
