FSL-1 TFA, a bacterial-derived toll-like receptor 2 6 (TLR2 6) agonist, enhances resistance to experimental HSV-2 infection[1]. FSL-1 TFA induces MMP-9 production through TLR2 and NF-κB AP-1 signaling pathways in monocytic THP-1 cells[2]. FSL-1 significantly reduces HSV-2 replication in human vaginal epithelial cells (EC)[1].FSL-1 induces significant resistance to experimental genital HSV-2 infection through elaboration of a specific cytokine response profile[1].FSL-1 (50 ng mL, 24 hours) induces MMP-9 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in human monocytic THP-1 cells[2].FSL-1 activates the MAP kinase NF-κB signaling pathway[2]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: V11I, V12I or V19I immortalized human vaginal EC FSL-1 application significantly protectes against genital HSV-2 challenge in mice[1]. Animal Model: Female Swiss-Webster mice (weighing 20-25 g)[1] [1]. William A Rose 2nd, et al.

NX-7081 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of Hsp90, which blocks components of inflammation, including cytokine production, protein kinase activity, and angiogenic signaling. SNX-7081 showed strong binding affinity to Hsp90 and expected induction of Hsp70. NF-kappaB nuclear translocation was blocked by SNX-7081 at nanomolar concentrations, and cytokine production was potently inhibited. Growth factor activation of ERK and JNK signaling was significantly reduced by SNX-7081. NO production was also sharply inhibited. In animal models, SNX-4414 fully inhibited paw swelling and improved body weight.
Tofacitinib maleate, also known as tasocitinib, CP-690550, is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Tofacitinib maleate modulates the signaling pathway at the point of JAKs, preventing the phosphorylation and activation of STATs. JAK enzymes transmit cytokine signaling through pairing of JAKs (e.g., JAK1 JAK3, JAK1 JAK2, JAK1 TyK2, JAK2 JAK2). Tofacitinib maleate inhibited the in vitro activities of JAK1 JAK2, JAK1 JAK3, and JAK2 JAK2 combinations with IC50 of 406, 56, and 1377 nM, respectively.
Tofacitinib HCl, also known as tasocitinib, CP-690550, is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Tofacitinib HCl modulates the signaling pathway at the point of JAKs, preventing the phosphorylation and activation of STATs. JAK enzymes transmit cytokine signaling through pairing of JAKs (e.g., JAK1 JAK3, JAK1 JAK2, JAK1 TyK2, JAK2 JAK2). Tofacitinib HCl inhibited the in vitro activities of JAK1 JAK2, JAK1 JAK3, and JAK2 JAK2 combinations with IC50 of 406, 56, and 1377 nM, respectively.
