BMS-520 is a potent, selective S1P1 agonist that has shown impressive efficacy when administered orally in a rat model of arthritis and in a mouse model of experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis (EAE) with multiple sclerosis.
Bacoside A has a possible anticancer activity that could be inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through Notch pathway in GBM in vitro. It exerts cytoprotective efficacy by attenuation of ROS generated through oxidative stress by an increase in the concentration of antioxidant enzymes and sustain membrane integrity which leads to restoring the damage caused by tBHP. Bacoside A can able to inhibit the progression of ExperimentalAutoimmuneEncephalomyelitis (EAE) may be by the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine evolved during active EAE. Bacoside A also has vasorelaxation.
PDMP is a ceramide analog first prepared in a search for inhibitors of glucosylceramide synthase. PDMP has two adjacent chiral centers (C1 and C2) allowing for the formation of four possible isomers. PDMP contains all four of these stereoisomers. PDMP inhibits glucosylceramide synthase by 90% when used at a concentration of 0.8 μM in MDCK cell homogenates, however, the ability to inhibit glucosylceramide synthase has been found to reside in the D-threo (1R,2R) enantiomer. The D-threo PDMP enantiomer is also responsible for inhibition of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6 and prevention of lactosylceramide synthesis, which is a promotor of neuroinflammation in mice during chronic experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis. PDMP enhances curcumin-induced inhibition of proliferation, JNK activation, and Akt inhibition, as well as induction of apoptosis in WM-115 melanoma cells in vitro.
BIO5192 hydrate is a selective and potent integrin α4β1 (VLA-4) inhibitor (Kd<10 pM). BIO5192 hydrate selectively binds to α4β1 (IC50=1.8 nM) over a range of other integrins. BIO5192 hydrate results in a 30-fold increase in mobilization of murine hematopoietic stem and progenitors (HSPCs) over basal levels[1][2]. The combination of BIO5192 hydrate (1 mg kg; i.v.) and Plerixafor (5 mg kg; s.c.) exert an additive effect on progenitor mobilization[1].BIO5192 hydrate (30 mg kg; s.c; bid; during days 5 through 14) delays paralysis associated with EAE (experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis)[2].BIO5192 hydrate (1 mg kg, i.v.) shows the terminal half-life is 1.1 hours. BIO5192 hydrate (3, 10, and 30 mg kg; s.c.) shows half-lives of 1.7, 2.7, and 4.7 hours, respectively. The blood plasma curves show that the AUC for the s.c. route of administration increased about 2.5-fold from 5,460 h*ng ml for the 3 mg kg dose to 14,175 h*ng ml for the 30 mg kg[1]. Animal Model: C57BL 6J x 129Sv J F1 mice[1] [1]. Ramirez P, et al. BIO5192, a small molecule inhibitor of VLA-4, mobilizes hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Blood. 2009;114(7):1340‐1343. [2].

Isogarcinol is a natural polyisoprenylated benzophenone first isolated from plant species in the genus Garcinia. It has immunosuppressant actions, inhibiting the protein phosphatase calcineurin (IC50 = 36 μM) and suppressing the proliferation of T cells. Oral administration of isogarcinol in mice decreases delayed type hypersensitivity, prolongs graft survival in allogeneic skin transplants, suppresses inflammation in collagen-induced arthritis, and reduces clinical symptoms in experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis. Isogarcinol inhibits the proliferation of HL-60 and PC-3 cancer cells (IC50s = 4 and 8 μg ml, respectively) through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
JC-171 is a selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, with an IC50 of 8.45 μM for inhibiting LPS ATP-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release from J774A.1 macrophages[1]. JC-171 (0-100 μM) blocks NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β production in primary macrophages dose dependently[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: J774A.1 murine macrophage cells JC-171 treatment delays the progression and reduces the severity of experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis (EAE) in mouse[1]. Animal Model: Mice immunized subcutaneously with 200 μg Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55 peptide emulsified in Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) on day 0 followed by injection of 200 ng of pertussis toxin.

MOG (35-55), human, a constituent of central nervous system myelin, is distinguishable from mMOG (35-55) due to a proline-to-serine substitution at position 42. It possesses immunogenic properties and is partially cross-reactive with mMOG35–55. However, MOG (35-55), human does not induce encephalitogenic effects, and only elicits minimal clinical signs of EAE (experimentalautoimmuneencephalomyelitis) in comparison to the rodent peptide.
