ITX5061 is an orally active type II non-competitive p38 MAPK inhibitor. ITX5061 increases HDL-C levels by inhibiting SR-BI activity. ITX5061 also moderately elevates ApoA-I levels. ITX5061 reduces early atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic arch of mice fed an atherogenic diet. ITX5061 can be used in the research of atherosclerosis^[1].

p38 MAPK, SR-B1^[1]

ITX5061 (1 μM) significantly inhibits SR-BI-mediated HDL uptake in HEK 293 cells overexpressing SR-BI^[1].
