Selective p38γ MAPK Inhibition Reduces Pathological Tau Phosphorylation in Alzheimer's Disease
🧪 Overview
Small-molecule inhibitor targeting p38γ (MAPK12) to prevent tau phosphorylation at Ser396/404, reducing neurofibrillary tangle formation. Strong mechanistic data but challenged by kinase selectivity barriers, p38 inhibitor class failures in prior AD trials, and high development costs.
