Amilo-5MER (5-MP) is an orally active and selective inhibitor of serum amyloid A (SAA). It specifically suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β in SAA-activated cells. Amilo-5MER reduces chronic inflammation and alleviates symptoms of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). It holds potential for research in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases.
