Product Data:
Biological target: RWJ-67657 is a selective p38α and p38β inhibitor (IC50s = 1 and 11 μM respectively) that displays no activity at p38γ, p38δ and a range of other kinases. RWJ-67657 potently inhibits TNF-α and IL-1β release (IC50s = 3 and 11 nM respectively) and suppresses HIV-1 replication in T cells in vitro.
In vitro activity: RWJ-67657 effectively inhibited HIV-1 replication in both T-cell and monocyte cell lines, irrespective of the coreceptor used by the virus for entry into the cell. RWJ-67657 effectively suppressed both reverse transcriptase and protease resistant escape mutant viruses. Reference: AIDS. 2004 Mar 26;18(5):739-48. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15075508/
In vivo activity: The pharmacological inhibition of p38 with RWJ-67657 led to a decrease in chemoresistant cancer tumor growth in xenograft animal models. This suggests that RWJ-67657 has potential therapeutic relevance in reversing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in advanced tumor phenotypes and overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer.
