p38 MAP Kinase Inhibitor Ralimetinib, LY2228820 Dimesylate
Target
Molecule
p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase is activated in response to
inflammatory stimuli (eg, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6), growth
factors (eg, vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor,
insulin-like growth factor), and cellular stress (eg, chemotherapeutic
challenge). These conditions are prevalent in the initiation and progression
of tumor growth and during the development of metastases. In addition
to promoting cancer cell survival and growth, p38 also enhances invasion,
angiogenesis, and metastasis.1-4
Ralimetinib (LY2228820 dimesylate) is a small molecule that in
vitro preferentially binds to and inhibits p38 MAP kinase.5,6
Clinical Development
Ralimetinib is being investigated in a clinical trial in patients with
ovarian cancer.
