Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
p38 MAP kinases α and β are crucial in regulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-1β. Doramapimod inhibits p38 MAP kinase activity, and has been shown to block TNFα release in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells with an IC50 value of 18 nM [3].
