SERP Comments:
SR-318 displays exquisite selectivity for p38a/b vs other kinases. At 100nM, 90% p38a/b inhibition is observed in cells using NanoBRET while other kinases are basically uninhibited at this concentration. Interestingly, SR-318 has an inactive probe also listed in the original research article (compound 126) to use as a further experimental control. SR-318 displays good activity in a whole blood assay with a reasonable right shifting of potency due to plasma protein binding (IC50 = 240nM), demonstrating this probe’s utility in high serum assays. Given its activity in blood, this probe might potentially have utility in vivo. However, a pharmacokinetic study would be necessary to confirm this potential. No such study has been published as of May 2020.
