✦ Synopsis
A class of inhibitors of mitogen activated protein kinase-activated kinase 2 (MK2) was discovered via high-throughput screening. This compound class demonstrates activity against the enzyme with sub-microM IC(50) values, and suppresses LPS-induced TNFalpha levels in THP-1 cells. MK2 inhibition kinetic measurements indicated mixed binding approaching non-ATP competitive inhibition.

## Abstract Intermediate filament (IF) networks can be regulated by phosphorylation of unit proteins, such as vimentin, by specific kinases leading to reorganization of the IF filamentous structure. Recently, we identified mitogen‐activated protein kinase‐activated protein kinase‐2 (MAPKAP kinase‐2
Organization of intermediate filament, a major component of cytoskeleton, is regulated by protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, which is a dynamic process governed by a balance between the activities of involved protein kinases and phosphatases.

A potent pyridine-containing MK2 inhibitor has recently been internally discovered. In pre-clinical dosing, the low solubility of the neutral form limited oral bioavailability and dose escalation in toxicity studies. A mesylate salt was developed as part of a formulation strategy to enhance both ora
Mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinases include the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase, and the p38 subgroups. Sustained activation of Jun kinase and p38 have been shown to precede apoptosis of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells induced by withdrawal of troph
Protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase are expressed in all smooth muscle cells and believed to be important in several physiologically relevant properties of this muscle. Our goal was to determine if protein kinase C and MAP kinase are activated by a simple increase in cellular
