SB 239063 is a potent and selective p38 MAP kinase inhibitor. This chemical displays greater than 220-fold selectivity over ERK, JNK1 and other kinases, is approximately 3-fold more selective than SB 203580, and is selective for p38 alpha and p38 beta with no activity against gamma and delta isoforms. SB 239063 may act to decrease the number of activated microglia and facilitates neurogenesis. It also reduces inflammatory cytokine production and is neuroprotective.
