Biological activities

SB203580 is a selective cytokine suppressive binding protein/p38 kinase (p38 MAPK) inhibitor. SB203580 inhibits the proliferation of cell in a p38 MAPK independent manner. The IC50 of SB203580 against p38 MAPK is 48 nM.[1] SB203580 gives rise to autophagy of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. SB203580 not only elevates GFP-LC3-positive cells with GFP-LC3 dots, but also causes accumulation of autophagosomes. In addition, SB203580 increases the levels of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 and Beclin 1. SB203580 induces the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and p53. However, SB203580 suppresses the phosphorylation of death-associated protein kinase (DAPK). Prevention of AMPK, p53, or DAPK attenuates SB203580-caused autophagy.[2] SB 203580 inhibits reactivating kinase (RK) in vitro with an IC50 of 0.6 μM. SB 203580 prevents the activation of MAPKAP kinase-2 and the phosphorylation of heat shock protein (HSP) 27 in response to interleukin-1, cellular stresses and bacterial endotoxin.[3] SB 203580 inhibits c-Raf with an IC50 of 2 μM in vitro. SB 203580 also stimulates a significant activation of c-Raf in vivo.[4] Prevention of p38 induced by SB 203580 leads to the almost complete reduction of phorbol myristate acetate-induced MMP-9 secretion but not of urokinase-type plasminogen activator secretion. Phorbol myristate acetate-enhanced in vitro invasion is fully inhibited by SB 203580, whereas p38 suppression has little effect on growth.[5] SB203580 prevents platelet aggregation caused by prostaglandin H2 and the conversion of prostaglandin H2 to thromboxane A2 in intact platelets. SB203580 also suppresses this pathway in platelet microsome preparations, suggesting a direct inhibitory effect on thromboxane synthase.[6] SB203580 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokine in vivo in both mice and rats with IC50 values of 15 to 25 mg/kg. SB 203580 generates therapeutic activity in collagen-induced arthritis in DBA/LACJ mice. At a dose of 50 mg/kg, SB 203580 leads to significant prevention of paw inflammation and serum amyloid protein levels. SB 203580 which is administered p.o. at the doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg also produces antiarthritic activity in adjuvant-induced arthritis in the Lewis rat. [7]
