AZD2906, a selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist, demonstrates inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of 2.2 nM in human GR, 0.3 nM in rat peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), 41.6 nM in humanwholeblood, and 7.5 nM in rat wholeblood, respectively[1]. Additionally, it induces an increase in micronucleated immature erythrocytes within rat bone marrow.
PF-03715455 potently inhibits LPS-induced TNFα production in humanwholeblood (IC50=1.7 nM). PF-03715455 is an effective inhibitor of inhaled p38 MAPK. PF-03715455 displays some selectivity for p38α over p38β (respective IC50: 0.88 and 23 nM). PF-0371545
Phe-Pro-Arg-PABA-Resorufin is a Chromogenic and fluorogenic peptide substrate for the highly sensitive detection of proteases in biological matrices. The substrate is also applicable to the sensitive detection of the thrombin inhibitor dabigatran in human
Tpl2 kinase inhibitor is an inhibitor of tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2; IC50= 0.05 μM).1It is selective for Tpl2 over MEK, p38 MAPK, Src, MK2, and PKC (IC50s = >40, 180, >400, 110, and >400 μM, respectively). Tpl2 kinase inhibitor inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in isolated human monocytes and wholeblood (IC50s = 0.7 and 8.5 μM, respectively). It enhances differentiation induced by calcitriol in HL-60 and U937 leukemia cells when used at a concentration of 5 μM.2Tpl2 kinase inhibitor (5 μM) inhibits the proliferation of KG-1a leukemia cells.3 1.Garvin, L.K., Green, N., Hu, Y., et al.Inhibition of Tpl2 kinase and TNF-α production with 1,7-naphthyridine-3-carbonitriles: Synthesis and structure-activity relationshipsBioor.

4-hydroxy Valsartan is a major metabolite of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist valsartan . It reduces platelet aggregation induced by epinephrine and collagen but not ADP in humanwholeblood.
T-5342126 is a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist.1It reduces LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells (IC50= 27.8 μM), as well as decreases LPS-induced IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-6 production in isolated humanwholeblood (IC50s = 110.5, 315.6, and 318.4 μM, respectively). T-5342126 (82 mg kg) reduces ethanol intake and the abundance of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), a marker of microglial activation, in the central nucleus of the amygdala in ethanol-dependent mice.2 1.Chavez, S.A., Martinko, A.J., Lau, C., et al.Development of β-amino alcohol derivatives that inhibit toll-like receptor 4 mediated inflammatory response as potential antisepticsJ.

17(S)-HDHA is a primary mono-oxygenation product of docosahexaenoic acid in humanwholeblood, human leukocytes, and mouse brain. 17(S)-HDHA serves as a precursor to 17(S)-resolvins and has intrinsic biological activity, such as the inhibition of TNF-α-induced interleukin-1β expression in human glioma cells and inhibition of TNF-α-induced leukocyte trafficking to the mouse air pouch.
8-iso Prostaglandin F2β (8-iso PGF2β) is an isomer of PGF2α of non-enzymatic origin. It is one of 64 possible isomers of PGF2α which can be produced by free radical peroxidation of arachidonic acid. 8-iso PGF2β exhibits very weak contraction of human umbilical vein artery and does not promote aggregation of humanwholeblood. However, 8-iso PGF2β moderately contracts both the canine and porcine pulmonary vein, although the effect is much weaker than that exhibited by other isoprostanes such as 8-iso PGE1, 8-iso PGE2, or 8-iso PGF2α. 8-iso-15-keto PGF2β is a potential metabolite of 8-iso PGF2β via the 15-hydroxy PG dehydrogenase pathway. There are no published reports on the formation or biological activity of 8-iso-15-keto PGF2β.
CXCR2-IN-2 is a selective, brain penetrant, and orally bioavailable CXCR2 antagonist (IC50=5.2 nM 1 nM in β-arrestin assay CXCR2 Tango assay, respectively). CXCR2-IN-2 displays ~730-fold selectivity over CXCR1 and >1900-fold selectivity over all other chemokine receptors. CXCR2-IN-2 inhibits humanwholeblood Gro-α induced CD11b expression with an IC50 of 0.04 μM[1]. CXCR2-IN-2 (compound 68) (1-10 mg kg; p.o.; twice daily for 3 days) dose-dependently reduces neutrophil infiltration in vivo in rat and mouse air pouch models[1]. [1]. Lu H, et al.
