nf-κβ

NF-κΒ activator 1 can activate the nf-kappa Β gene activator, EC50 of 0.9 microns. NF-κΒ is widely used in eukaryotic cells as a gene regulating cell proliferation and cell survival. NF-κΒ activator 1 induces superoxide dismutase (SOD) 2 1 mRNA expression.

NF-κΒ Activator 2 is a potent, orally active compound that efficiently activates NF-κB with an EC50 value of 1.58 μM. By enhancing NF-κB expression and activation, it induces SOD 2 synthesis, rendering it useful for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research [1].

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.

BIZ 114 potently inhibits the TNF-α activated NF-κΒ pathway. BIZ 114 has the potential to prevent and or treat ophthalmic disorders.

Ambrosin is a sesquiterpene lactone and a potent NF-κβ inhibitor. It is currently being studied as a potential lead drug for Alzheimer disease therapeutics.
