| In vitro |
BIRB 796 shows no significant inhibition to ERK-1, SYK, IKK2β, ZAP-70, EGF receptor kinase, HER2, protein kinase A (PKA), PKC, PKC-α, PKC-β (I and II) and PKC-γ. BIRB 796 greatly improves binding affinity by forming a hydrogen bond between the morpholine oxygen and the ATP-binding domain of p38α. BIRB 796 represents one of the most potent and slowest dissociating inhibitors against human p38 MAP kinase now known. [1] BIRB 796 potently inhibits c-Raf-1 and Jnk2α2 with IC50 of 1.4 and 0.1 nM, respectively. [2] BIRB796 also inhibits the activity and the activation of SAPK3/p38γ at a higher concentration than it does in p38α. BIRB796 blocks the stress-induced phosphorylation of the scaffold protein SAP97, which is a physiological substrate of SAPK3/p38γ. BIRB796 blocks JNK1/2 activation and activity in HEK293 cells, while not inhibits the activation and activity of ERK1/ERK2 in Hela cells. Moreover, the binding of BIRB796 to the p38 MAPKs or JNK1/2 is impairing their phosphorylation by the upstream kinase MKK6 or MKK4 rather than enhancing their dephosphorylation. [3] BIRB 796 blocks baseline and bortezomib-triggered upregulation of p38 MAPK and Hsp27 phosphorylation, thereby enhancing cytotoxicity and caspase activation. BIRB 796 downregulates IL-6 and VEGF secretion in BMSCs triggered by TNF-α and TGF-β1. [4] BIRB-796 has a pyrazole scaffold that places a lipophilic t-butyl group into the lower selectivity site and a tolyl ring into the upper selectivity site. BIRB-796 also inhibits B-Raf and Abl with IC50 of 83 nM and 14.6 μM, respectively. [5] |

| In vivo | BIRB 796 (30 mg/kg) inhibits 84% of TNF-α in LPS-stimulated mice and demonstrates efficacy in a mouse model of established collagen-induced arthritis. [1] BIRB 796 has good pharmacokinetic performance even after oral administration in mice. [2] |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
