Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Skepinone-L is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38α-MAPK) with an IC50 of. By blocking p38α-MAPK activity, it disrupts downstream signaling within the MAPK pathway and suppresses the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β. Consequently, Skepinone-L inhibits acute inflammatory responses and attenuates cellular stress signaling in preclinical models. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
