CAS#: 1628502-91-9

Description: MW-150 is an inhibitor of p38α MAPK (Ki = 101 nM). It is 6-, 10-, and 14-fold selective for p38α MAPK over the serine/threonine protein kinase NLK, p38β MAPK, and p38δ MAPK, respectively, and is also selective over the enzymatically normal mutant p38α MAPKT106M. It inhibits p38α MAPK phosphorylation of the endogenous substrate MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) in LPS-activated glia in a concentration-dependent manner and decreases the levels of IL-1β in the same cells. MW-150 (2.5 mg/kg per day, i.p.) reduces the number of errors made in the spatial reference memory version of the radial arm water maze in aged amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) knock-in mice as a model of Alzheimer’s disease.

Product Data:
Biological target: MW150 (MW01-18-150SRM) is a selective, CNS penetrant, and orally active inhibitor of p38α MAPK with a Ki of 101 nM.
In vitro activity: As summarized herein, a final optimization by synthesis and screening yielded MW150 that has improved HLM stability (T1/2 > 60 min) and oral bioavailability (>50%) as well as an incrementally improved p38αMAPK inhibition activity with retention of target selectivity, safety, and brain penetrance. MW150, containing a R3 piperazine substituent and R6 2-naphthyl substituent, represents the best in class for metabolic and bioavailability potential with retention of isoform selective p38αMAPK IC50 activity.

In vivo activity: Strikingly, 1-week treatment of adult SERT Ala56 mice with MW150, a selective p38α MAPK inhibitor, normalized hippocampal 5-HT clearance, CNS 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A/2C receptor sensitivities, social interactions, and colonic motility. Conditional elimination of p38α MAPK in 5-HT neurons of SERT Ala56 mice restored 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A/2C receptor sensitivities as well as social interactions, mirroring effects of MW150.
