BIX02188 is a potent inhibitor of MEK5 (IC50 = 4.3 nM) with reduced activity towards inhibition of ERK5 and TGFβR1 (IC50s = 810 and 1,800 nM, respectively).1 It does not inhibit the closely related kinases MEK1, MEK2, ERK2, and JNK2 (IC50s = > 6,300 nM).1 BIX02188 inhibits phosphorylation of ERK5 in a dose-dependent manner without affecting phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, or JNK1/2.1
