IFN alpha-IFNAR-IN-1 is a nonpeptidic, low-molecular-weight inhibitor of the interaction between IFN-α and IFNAR. It inhibits MVA-induced IFN-α responses by BM-pDCs (IC50: 2-8 μM).
Braylin has anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and immunomodulatory effects, which possibly act through the glucocorticoid receptor activation and by inhibition of the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Braylin is also a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, it could represent an ideal prototype of glucocorticoid receptor ligand, able to induce synergic immunomodulatory effects.
StA-IFN-1 is an inhibitor of the interferon (IFN) induction pathway with an IC50 value of 4.1 μM in a GFP reporter assay for IFN induction similar to TPCA-1 , which specifically inhibits the IKKβ component of the IFN induction pathway. It does not show inhibitory activity in a GFP reporter assay for IFN signaling in which ruxolitinib , which is specific for the IFN signaling component JAK1, is active. StA-IFN-1 reduces the levels of IFN-β, but not ISG MxA, mRNA, suggesting that it is selective for the IFN induction pathway and not the IFN signaling pathway.
Broussonins A and B, new phytoalexins from diseased paper mulberry. Broussonin A shows estrogenic activity with ligand-binding activity of estrogen receptor, transcriptional activity of estrogen-responsive element-luciferase reporter genes. Broussonin A c
