TNF-α-IN-2 is a highly potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), exhibiting an IC50 of 25 nM in the HTRF assay. It exerts its inhibitory effects by inducing conformational changes in the TNFα trimer upon binding, resulting in disrupted signaling when the trimer interacts with TNFR1. TNF-α-IN-2 holds promise as a valuable tool for investigating the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis[1].
Shizukaol B exerts anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-activated microglia partly by modulating JNK-AP-1 signaling pathway; it also shows significant anti-neuroinflammatory effects by inhibiting nitric-oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimul
