Bupivacaine 250-261 mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens 66-102 18420860-6 2008 Finally, the relevance of MAPK pathways in bupivacaine- and ropivacaine-induced neurotoxicity was determined by selectively inhibiting activity of p38 MAPK, JNK, and ERK. Bupivacaine 43-54 mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens 147-150 18420860-9 2008 Specifically, we demonstrated the relevance of both p38 MAPK and JNK pathways for the neurotoxicity of bupivacaine and characterized the involvement of the p38 MAPK pathway in the neurotoxicity of ropivacaine. Bupivacaine 103-114 mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 Homo sapiens 52-55
