Herein we review all the currently available ATP-site and non-ATP-site ligands bound to p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) available in the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB). The co-crystallized inhibitors have been classified into different families according to their experimental binding mode and chemical structure, and the ligand-protein interactions are discussed using the most representative compounds. This systematic structural analysis could provide some take-home lessons for drug discovery programs aimed at the rational identification and optimization of new p38α MAPK inhibitors.

Abstract
Herein we review all the currently available ATP-site and non-ATP-site ligands bound to p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) available in the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB). The co-crystallized inhibitors have been classified into different families according to their experimental binding mode and chemical structure, and the ligand-protein interactions are discussed using the most representative compounds. This systematic structural analysis could provide some take-home lessons for drug discovery programs aimed at the rational identification and optimization of new p38α MAPK inhibitors.File in questo prodotto:
