TLR9-IN-18 is a potent and selective TLR9 antagonist. TLR9-IN-18 suppresses the production of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 in a CpG-induced mouse model.
Tylogenin, a steroidal aglycone generated by acid hydrolysis from two seasonal glycosides occurring in Tylophora sylvatica, inhibits IgE-induced basophil mediator release for allergic reactions. In the rabbit basophil-dependent serotonin release (BDSR) assay system, the inhibitory activity of tylogenin was significantly greater than that of its parent glycosides, tylophoroside and acetyltylophoroside, and that of dexamethasone. The activity of tylogenin was found to increase with the incubation time. In the human leukocyte-dependent histamine release test model, the glycosides had only a minimal activity. In contrast, tylogenin, with a geom mean IC50 = 49 microM, exerted a significantly greater potency than dexamethasone. These results suggest that tylogenin could represent a new class of antiallergic agents.
BMS-986122 is a IRAK4 Inhibitor. BMS-986126 attenuates Disease in Murine Lupus Models and Demonstrates Steroid Sparing Activity. BMS-986126 inhibited TLR7- and TLR9-dependent responses using cells derived from lupus patients, suggesting that inhibition of IRAK4 has the potential for therapeutic benefit in treating lupus.
