BMS-582949 is a potent and selective P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38 MAPK) inhibitor. BMS-582949 is currently under Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. One clinical study showed that, in stable atherosclerosis, 12 weeks of treatment with BMS-582949 did not reduce arterial inflammation or hs-CRP compared to placebo, whereas intensification of statin therapy significantly decreased arterial inflammation. p38α MAP kinase plays a crucial role in regulating the biosynthesis of many inflammatory cytokines including TNFα and IL-1β.
