DZ2002, an orally active, reversible, and low-cytotoxic type III SAHH inhibitor (Ki=17.9 nM), exhibits significant immunosuppressive activity. It effectively prevents experimental dermal fibrosis by reversing the profibrotic phenotype in multiple cell types, making it useful for studying autoimmune diseases like lupus syndrome and systemic sclerosis.

Silperisone HCl (RGH-5002) blocks sodium and calcium channels in cells, decreases excitability and contractility of muscle cells, reduces peripheral tone, and acts as a muscle relaxant and peripheral vasodilator. Silperisone HCl is used to treat recurrent painful myoclonus due to spinal cord injury, abnormal hypertonia due to cerebrovascular disease, dystonia symptoms, cone tension syndrome, multiple sclerosis myospasm and myelitis. silperisone is a sodium channel protein type 2 alpha channel blocker. silperisone is an organosilicon similar to tolperisone, an organosilicon compound with centrally acting muscle relaxant properties.

CYM5181 is related to the body's immune system and can be used to study multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Firategrast (SB 683699) is an orally active and specific α4β1/α4β7 integrin antagonist that reduces the transport of lymphocytes into the central nervous system (CNS) and decreases multiple sclerosis (MS) activity. It is used in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, associated with modest reductions in CD4, CD8, and CD19 lymphocyte counts in cerebrospinal fluid.

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an Nrf2 activator with oral activity and blood-brain barrier permeability. Dimethyl fumarate has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities and has been used in the study of multiple sclerosis.

Tolperisone hydrochloride (Muscalm), a centrally acting muscle relaxant, is used in the therapy of pathologically increased tone of the cross-striated muscle resulted by neurological diseases (damage of the encephalomyelitis, myelopathy, multiple sclerosis, pyramidal tract) and of spastic paralysis and other encephalopathies manifested with muscular dystonia.

Baclofen (Lioresal) is a synthetic chlorophenyl-butanoic acid derivative used to treat spasms due to spinal cord damage and multiple sclerosis, muscle-relaxing Baclofen acts as a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist specific for GABA-B receptors. It acts at spinal and supraspinal sites, reducing excitatory transmission.

Cladribine (2CdA), an adenosine deaminase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of lymphoproliferative diseases.

Heptadecanoic acid is a fatty acid of exogenous (primarily ruminant) origin. Many "odd" length long chain amino acids are derived from the consumption of dairy fats (milk and meat). Heptadecanoic acid constitutes 0.61% of milk fat and 0.83% of ruminant me

Teriflunomide (A 77-1726) is the principal active metabolite of leflunomide, an approved therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

Ocrelizumab (IDC-2403) is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD20 for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Temelimab (GNbAC-1) is a monoclonal antibody targeting endogenous retroviruses in humans, used for studying multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes (T1D).

BIA 10-2474 is a long-acting reversible inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) that increases levels of the neurotransmitter anandamide in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues (that is, the rest of the body other than the brain and spinal cord). BIA 10-2474(BIA10-2474) interacts with the human endocannabinoid system. BIA 10-2474(BIA10-2474) was in development for the treatment of a range of different medical conditions from anxiety to Parkinson's disease, also for the treatment of chronic pain of multiple sclerosis, Y, hypertension or the treatment of obesity.

IFB-088 acetate, a benzyl guanidine derivative, is used to treat diseases and cancers associated with the PPP1R15A pathway and associated with protein misfolding stress, Examples include tau disease, synaptic riboprotein disease, polyglutamine and polyalanine diseases, leukodystrophy, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, lysosome storage disorders, amyloidosis diseases, inflammation, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, neurological trauma, and more.

Natalizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody and a humanized monoclonal antibody inhibitor that selectively targets α4 integrin (CD49d). Natalizumab binds to the α4β1 heterodimer and blocks its interaction with vascular cell adhesion molecule 1. Natalizumab also prevents lymphocytes from entering the central nervous system, thereby preventing acute demyelinating relapses, and is used in the study of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease. Natalizumab possesses anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, inhibiting the adhesion, retention, and transendothelial migration of immune cells, and reducing the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system or affected sites. Natalizumab is also being studied for autoimmune or inflammation-related diseases such as B-cell lymphoma and non-infectious uveitis.

14-Epiandrographolide is a compound derived from the above-ground parts of Andrographis paniculata that induces cell differentiation and can be used in the study of multiple sclerosis.
