描述 | p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK, p38) consist of 4 subunits: p38α, p38β, p38γ and p38δ. They play a well-recognized role in regulating intracellular signaling transduction in mammalian cells. p38 MAPK induces a variety of intracellular responses associated with neuropathic pain and other chronic pain[2]. Acumapimod(BCT197) is an orally active inhibitor of p38α MAPK (IC50 <1 μM). When examining BCT197 in vivo, and comparing to vehicle-treated animals, reduced weight loss, improvement in survival and lack of impaired viral control was observed at BCT197 concentrations relevant to those being used in clinical trials of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; at higher concentrations of BCT197 these effects were reduced. BCT197 improved survival and weight loss compared to vehicle, but to a lesser degree than either oseltamivir or dexamethasone. It was also demonstrated that both dexamethasone and the higher dose of BCT197 increased viral load 7 days p.i. The lower dose of BCT197, which is more clinically relevant, remained comparable to vehicle treatment[3]. BCT197 was found to be a low clearance drug (1.76 L/h),with linearity in oral drug clearance (CL/F) demonstrated over the entire dose range tested (0.1–75 mg). No relevant differences in relative bioavailability between these formulations were seen. BCT197 exhibited an apparent absorption plateau, with a tendency to less than dose-proportional increase in peak drug concentration (Cmax)[4]. |
