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 human whole blood, and 7.5 nM in rat whole blood, respectively[1]. Additionally, it induces an increase in micronucleated immature erythrocytes within rat bone marrow.

CK176 is a capsid targeted inhibitor of HIV-1 replication. CK176 shows an 11-fold improvement over I-XW-053 in blocking HIV-1 replication in primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
I-XW-053 sodium inhibits the replication of a diverse panel of primary HIV-1 isolates in Peripheral blood mononuclear cell with no appreciable cytotoxicity.
(S)-p38 MAPK inhibitor III is a methylsulfanylimidazole that inhibits p38 MAP kinase (IC50 = 0.90 μM in vitro). It is cell-permeable, potently blocking the release of TNF-α and IL-1β from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (IC50s = 0.37 and 0.044 μM, respectively).
SMU127 is an agonist of the toll-like receptor 1 2 (TLR1 2) heterodimer.1It induces NF-κB signaling in cells expressing human TLR2 (EC50= 0.55 μM) but not cells expressing human TLR3, -4, -5, -7, or -8 when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM. SMU127 induces the production of TNF-α in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) when used at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1 μM.In vivo, SMU127 (0.1 mg animal) reduces tumor volume in a 4T1 murine mammary carcinoma model. 1.Chen, Z., Cen, X., Yang, J., et al.Structure-based discovery of a specific TLR1-TLR2 small molecule agonist from the ZINC drug library databaseChem.

O-Demethyl apremilast is an active metabolite of the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor apremilast .1It inhibits the activity of PDE4 isolated from U937 cells and LPS-induced TNF-α production in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs; IC50s = 8.3 and 5.6 μM, respectively). O-Demethyl apremilast is also an oxidative degradation product of apremilast.2,3 1.Hoffmann, M., Kumar, G., Schafer, P., et al.Disposition, metabolism and mass balance of [14C]apremilast following oral administrationXenobiotica41(12)1063-1075(2011) 2.Lu, Y., Shen, X., Hang, T., et al.Identification and characterization of process-related substances and degradation products in apremilast: Process optimization and degradation pathway elucidationJ.

p38 MAPK inhibitor IV is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of p38 MAP kinases with IC50 values of 0.13, 0.55, 5.47, and 8.63 μM for p38α, p38β, p38x, and p38δ, respectively, in vitro.[1] It also inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-1β cytokine production (IC50s = 22 and 44 nM, respectively) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
High affinity and selective cell-permeable p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) inhibitor (Ki = 47 nM). Exhibits no significant activity against a panel of 48 other bromodomains except GCN5 (Kd = 600 nM). Exhibits >4500-fold selectivity for PCAF over BRD4. Also exhibits metabolic stability in mouse and human liver microsomes and no observable cytotoxicity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
