More Info
Biological target:
Acumapimod (BCT197) is a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, with an IC50 of less than 1 μM for p38α.
In vitro activity:
N/A
In vivo activity:
All vehicle-treated animals were removed from study and euthanized by day 9 due to ≥25 % body weight loss (Fig. 2). Compared to vehicle, a protective effect was observed with 31 % (5/16) of the 6 mg kg−1 BCT197, 67 % (10/15) dexamethasone and 94 % (15/16) oseltamivir-treated animals surviving to the end of study. However, only 12.5 % (2/16) survival was observed in the 18 mg kg−1 BCT197 group (Fig. 2b). All of the curves were statistically significantly different from vehicle (P<0.0125, using Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons as part of the Kaplan–Meier analysis).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
