More Info:

Biological target: Skepinone-L is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of p38 MAPK isoform p38α (IC50s = 5 nM) and p38β (97% inhibition at 1 µM). It has little effect on a range of other kinases, including p38γ and p38δ. Skepinone-L dose-dependently blocks the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in response to stimulation with anisomycin in HeLa cells (IC50 = 25 nM) or TNF-α in THP-1 cells.
In vitro activity: Skepinone-L might provide a promising therapeutic tool to prevent inflammatory cascades in atherosclerosis. In the human leukemia cell line THP-1 and/or primary monocyte-derived macrophages, skepinone-L inhibited eLDL-induced activation of the p38 MAPK pathway, inhibited eLDL induced expression of both CD36 and ABCA1, without a net effect on foam cell formation, had a cell- and time-dependent effect on eLDL-triggered apoptosis, and inhibited eLDL-stimulated secretion of IL-8 and MIP-1β/CCL4. Reference: FASEB J. 2017 Feb;31(2):674-686. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27871059/
In vivo activity: Intrathecal injection of skepinone prevented formalin induced inflammatory pain in male but not female mice. Intrathecal skepinone reduced chronic constriction injury (CCI) induced neuropathic pain (mechanical allodynia) in male mice on CCI-day 7 but not CCI-day 21. This male-dependent inhibition of neuropathic pain also occurred in rats following intrathecal skepinone. Notably, intraperitoneal or local perineural administration of skepinone inhibited CCI-induced mechanical allodynia in both sexes of mice.
