A series of 42 naturally occurring flavonoids and one flavonoid glucuronide were tested for their ability to inhibit p38? mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38?) and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3). Potent inhibitors with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range were identified. Structure-activity relationships were evaluated and the most promising compounds were docked into the ATP binding site of these kinases. Among the different classes of flavonoids, the flavonol group showed better inhibition of p38?. Of this class, kaempferol-7,4'-dimethylether was a potent p38? inhibitor, displaying 13-fold selectivity for p38? over JNK3. The flavone compounds without a 6-methoxy group preferentially inhibited JNK3. The flavone glycoside, luteolin-7-O-glycoside, was identified as a potent inhibitor with the greatest selectivity toward JNK3. In contrast, the flavanol compounds displayed similar inhibitory activities toward both kinases.
