Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	p38α (Cell-free assay) 8.1(pKi) p38β (Cell-free assay) 7.6(pKi)
In vitro	Losmapimod (GW856553X, GW856553, GSK-AHAB) is a selective, potent, and orally active p38 MAPK inhibitor.
Kinase Assay	In vitro assay
Kinase Assay	Inhibition of p38α and p38β are determined by use of a ligand-displacement fluorescence polarization assay.
In vivo	In spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rats (SHR-SP), Losmapimod significantly improves survival, endothelial-dependent and -independent vascular relaxation, and indices of renal function, and subsequently attenuates dyslipidemia, hypertension, cardiac remodeling, plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone, and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta).
