    In Vitro

    Ralimetinib dimesylate inhibits p38α, as well as the level of phosphoMAPKAPK-2 (pMK2) in RAW 264.7 cells, with IC50 values of 7 nM and 34.3 nM, respectively. Furthermore, Ralimetinib dimesylate inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNFα formation in murine peritoneal macrophages, with IC50 of 5.2 nM[1]. In multiple myeloma (MM) cells, including INA6, RPMI-8226, U266, and RPMI-Dox40, Ralimetinib dimesylate (LY2228820) (200 nM-800 nM) significantly blocks p38MAPK signaling, as revealed by its inhibition on phosphorylation of HSP27, a downstream target of p38MAPK, without affecting the expression level of HSP27. Ralimetinib dimesylate (200 nM-400 nM) enhances bortezomib-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, but Ralimetinib dimesylate alone doesn't inhibit the growth of MM.1S cells. Ralimetinib dimesylate (200 nM-800 nM) also inhibits secretion of IL-6 and MIP-1α in long-term BM stromal cells (LT-BMSCs), BM mononuclear cells (BMMNCs), peripheral blood (PB) CD138+, CD138- or PB CD14+ cells. Ralimetinib dimesylate (400 nM-800 nM) also blocks osteoclastogenesis from CD14+ cells[2].

    In Vivo

    In LPS-induced mice, Ralimetinib dimesylate effectively inhibits the formation of TNFα with a threshold minimum 50% effective dose (TMED50) less than 1 mg/kg. In a rat model of collagen-inducedarthritis (CIA), Ralimetinib dimesylate displays potent effects on paw swelling, bone erosion, and cartilage destruction, with a threshold minimum 50% effective dose (TMED50)of 1.5 mg/kg[1]. Ralimetinib dimesylate inhibits tumor phospho-MK2 in a dose-dependent manner (TED50=1.95 mg/kg, TED70=11.17 mg/kg) in mice implanted with B16-F10 melanoma. Ralimetinib dimesylate inhibits MK2 phosphorylation: mouse in vivo TED50=1.01 mg/kg (compound exposure approximately 100 nM) and human ex vivo IC50=0.12 μM with either mouse or human PBMC[3].

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    [1]

    Inhibition of p38α is determined using recombinant human p38α in a standard filter binding protocol using ATP[γ-33P] and EGFR 21-mer peptide as substrate. Functional inhibition of TNFα in murine peritoneal macrophages is determined using LPS stimulation in the presence of Ralimetinib. To assess p38α activity in cells more directly, RAW 264.7 cells are treated with Ralimetinib and then stimulated with anisomycin. The level of p38α activity is detected using a phosphoMAPKAPK-2 (pMK2) (Thr 334) antibody which reacts with a residue specifically phosphorylated by p38α.

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Murine B16-F10 melanoma cells are cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with l-glutamine, high glucose and 10% FBS (GIBCO 11965-092). C57/bl6 mice are implanted in the rear flank with B16-F10 cells (2×106), and when tumors reach approximately 200 mm3 in size, are dosed orally with Ralimetinib dimesylate in 1% carboxymethylcellulose/0.25% Tween 80. Two hours postdose, tumors are excised, homogenized, and lysed for Western blot analysis. MK2 phosphorylation (p-Thr334), normalized to total glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, is quantified by chemiluminescent detection. The 50% or 70% threshold effective dose (TED50 and TED70, respectively) is calculated to approximate effective dose ranges for testing of Ralimetinib dimesylate in xenograft models, that is, where significant target inhibition is observed. The TED50 or TED70 is defined as the dose where a statistically significant effect is achieved, and there is at least 50% or 70% inhibition, respectively, compared with vehicle control.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
