Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of the selective p38 MAPK inhibitor Skepinone-L and the dual p38/JNK 3 inhibitor LN 950 in experimental K/BxN serum transfer arthritis

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling plays an important role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).The aim of our study was to elucidate the therapeutic potential of the highly selective p38 MAPK inhibitor Skepinone-L and the dual inhibitor LN 950 (p38 MAPK and JNK 3) in the K/BxN serum transfer model of RA. Additionally, we aimed to monitor MAPK treatment non-invasively in vivo using the hypoxia tracer...
