BIX02189 is a potent inhibitor of both MEK5 and ERK5 (IC50s = 1.5 and 59 nM, respectively), preventing transcriptional activation of the downstream target MEF2C. It minimally inhibits a panel of related kinases, including MEK1/2 and ERK1/2. BIX02189 blocks sorbitol-induced phosphorylation of ERK5, without affecting phosphorylation of ERK1/2, in HeLa cells. It has been used to investigate the roles of MEK5/ERK5 signaling in nerve growth factor-mediated neurite outgrowth and myeloid cell differentiation.
