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.
