SB203580 (Adezmapimod)
|
Adezmapimod (SB203580, RWJ 64809, PB 203580) is a p38 MAPK inhibitor with IC50 of 0.3-0.5 μM in THP-1 cells, 10-fold less sensitive to SAPK3(106T) and SAPK4(106T) and blocks PKB phosphorylation with IC50 of 3-5 μM. SB203580 induces mitophagy and autophagy.

SB202190
|
SB202190 is a potent p38 MAPK inhibitor targeting p38α/β with IC50 of 50 nM/100 nM in cell-free assays, sometimes used instead of SB 203580 to investigate potential roles for SAPK2a/p38 in vivo. This compound inhibits endothelial cell apoptosis via induction of autophagy and heme oxygenase-1. It significantly suppresses Erastin‐dependent ferroptosis.

Metformin Hydrochloride
|
Metformin Hydrochloride (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide Hydrochloride) is a highly effective Antihyperglycemic Agent, which primarily decreases hyperglycemia in hepatocytes by suppressing hepatic gluconeogenesis (glucose production by the liver). It also promotes mitophagy in mononuclear cells and induces apoptosis of lung cancer cells through activating the JNK/p38 MAPK pathway and GADD153.

Doramapimod (BIRB 796)
|
Doramapimod (BIRB 796) is a pan-p38 MAPK inhibitor with IC50 of 38 nM, 65 nM, 200 nM and 520 nM for p38α/β/γ/δ in cell-free assays. It binds p38α with Kd of 0.1 nM in THP-1 cells, showing 330-fold greater selectivity versus JNK2, weak inhibition for c-RAF, Fyn and Lck, and insignificant inhibition of ERK-1, SYK, IKK2.
