15a-Hydroxy-3,11,23-trioxo-lanost-8,20-dien-26-oic acid is a Lanostane triterpenoid compound with the ability to inhibit NO production in LPS-induced microglia.
(3β,7β,12β,20Z)-3,7,12-Trihydroxy-11,15,23-trioxo-lanost-8,20-dien-26-oic acid, a lanostane triterpenoid, demonstrates significant inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in BV-2 microglia cells induced by n LPS, with an IC50 value of 9.55 uM. Moreover, this compound possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
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 human whole blood (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.

Pericosine A is a fungal metabolite that has been found inP. byssoidesand has anticancer activity.1It inhibits the growth of a variety of cancer cells, including breast, colon, lung, ovary, stomach, and prostate cell lines (GI50s = 0.05-24.55 μM) and increases survival in a P388 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg. Pericosine A inhibits EGFR by 40 to 70% when used at a concentration of 100 μg/ml. It also reacts with organosulfur compounds in skunk spray to form stable thioethers as odorless products.2 1.Yamada, T., Iritani, M., Ohishi, H., et al.Pericosines, antitumour metabolites from the sea hare-derived fungus Periconia byssoides.

AMP423 is a naphthyl derivative of 2-cyanoaziridine-1-carboxamide with structural similarity to the pro-oxidant anti-tumor agent imexon. AMP423 was active in SCID mice bearing 8226 S myeloma and SU-DHL-6 B-cell lymphoma tumors, with a median tumor growth delay (T-C) of 21 days (P = 0.0002) and 5 days (P = 0.004), respectively, and a median tumor growth inhibition (T C) of 33.3% (P = 0.03) and 82% (P = 0.01), respectively. In non-tumor-bearing mice, AMP423 was not myelosuppressive.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) 77-82 is the 77-82 fragment of the annular (ring-shaped) C-Reactive Protein, the prototypic marker of inflammation, which serves as a cardiovascular risk marker and may promote atherogenesis.
