GSK717 is a potent, selective NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2) inhibitor that inhibits muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-induced NOD2-mediated signaling with an IC50 of 400 nM for MDP-stimulated IL-8 secretion in HEK293/hNOD2 cells[1]. It blocks the synergy between NOD2 and TLR2 without affecting NOD1, TNFR1, and TLR2-mediated responses. At 5 μM, GSK717 inhibits the release of IL-8, IL-6, TNFα, and IL-1β in primary human monocytes stimulated with MDP[1]. [1]. Rickard DJ, et al.

Terminolic acid (2α,6β,23-trihydroxyl oleanolic acid) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid glucoside isolated from Combretum racemosum, can inhibit the pro-inflammatory cytokines by binding to receptor active site of IL-1β and IL-6, and enhance anti-inflammatory cytokines by binding to IL-4 receptor binding sites. It also exhibits moderate antibacterial activity.

2'-FUCOSYLLACTOSE (2'-Fucosyl-D-lactose) is a fucose-containing oligosaccharide.

2',3'-cGAMP sodium (2'-3'-cyclic GMP-AMP sodium) is a second messenger in cellular innate immunity, catalyzed by cGAMP synthase (cGAS) under DNA binding conditions. It binds to STING to form a dimer, inducing the production and expression of interferon-β and other cytokines.

Resiniferatoxin ((+)-Resiniferatoxin) is a highly potent synthetic TRPV1 agonist that inhibits the production of Th1 cytokines and has anti-inflammatory activity, reducing serum levels of IL-12, INF-γ, IL-1β, TNF-α, NO, and PGE.

Atinvicitinib, a selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, demonstrates high specificity for Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), consequently inhibiting downstream cytokine signaling pathways that rely on JAK1 enzymatic activity. Atinvicitinib modulates a wide range of cytokines that are implicated in itch responses, allergic reactions, and inflammatory conditions, making it a significant research tool for studying cytokine-mediated immune processes as well as therapeutic modulation of allergic and inflammatory diseases.

Vadimezan (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agent, a murine STING agonist, and an inducer of cytokines such as type I IFN. Vadimezan has antitumor activity and induces a rapid cessation of blood flow in tumors without affecting blood flow in normal tissues.

(±)-Lisofylline is an enantiomer-specific, alkyl-substituted methylxanthine, which has specific and potent activity in down-regulating leukocyte activation. (±)-Lisofylline is an anti-inflammatory agent.

AVP-13358 is a CD23 antagonist (immunoglobulin ε-Fc receptor antagonist), an immunoglobulin E inhibitor. AVP-13358 has potent activity against IgE, cytokines and CD23 and is used in the treatment of immune system disorders, infections and otolaryngological disorders.

MW01-2-151SRM is a novel small molecule inhibitor of microglia activation that crosses the blood-brain barrier, has anti-neuroinflammatory effects, attenuates the up-regulation of glial cytokines in models of neuroinflammation, and can be used in studies of traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, and alginate toxicity.

EM 163 is a TIR-TIR interaction inhibitor, which is a TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) structural domain mimic of the MyD88 protein. EM 163 targets the TIR structural domain in the IL-1 receptor and blocks the interaction with MyD88. EM 163 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines in vivo caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). EM 163 protects mice from SEB shock-induced death. In rat hippocampal neurons in vitro, EM 163 blocked the activation of p38 and the inhibitory effect of IL-1β on chemically induced long-term potentiation (LTP)-triggered protein synthesis.

Dovramilast (CC-11050) is an orally active phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor that reduces the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines. Dovramilast is used in the study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections and lupus erythematosus.

3-Hydroxykynurenamine, also known as 3-Hydroxy-L-kynurenamine or 3-HKA, is a biogenic amine produced via an alternative pathway of tryptophan metabolism. In vitro, 3-HKA has an anti-inflammatory profile by inhibiting the IFN-γ mediated STAT1/NF-κΒ pathway in both mouse and human dendritic cells (DCs) with a consequent decrease in the release of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, most notably TNF, IL-6, and IL12p70. 3-HKA has protective effects in an experimental mouse model of psoriasis by decreasing skin thickness, erythema, scaling and fissuring, reducing TNF, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and IL-17 production, and inhibiting generation of effector CD8+ T cells. Similarly, in a mouse model of nephrotoxic nephritis, besides reducing inflammatory cytokines, 3-HKA improves proteinuria and serum urea nitrogen, overall ameliorating immune-mediated glomerulonephritis and renal dysfunction.This compound is unstable in powder form and other related salt forms are recommended.

Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.

Betamethasone disodium phosphate (Betamethasone 21-phosphate disodium salt) is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties that promotes the polarization of M1 to M2 macrophages by reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and is utilized in research on keloids and rheumatoid arthritis.
