Description
Doramapimod is an anticancer chemotherapeutic inhibitor of p38 MAPK and JNK that also displays some in vitro activity against anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Doramapimod is currently in clinical trials as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases, exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity. In vitro, this compound inhibits expression of COX-2, MMP13, iNOS, and TNF-α and decreases release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), decreasing the overall inflammatory response.
