CU-T12-9 is a potent TLR1 2 agonist(EC50 of 52.9 nM in HEK-Blue hTLR2 SEAP assay). It acts by activating the NFkB pathway, upregulating proinflammatory cytokines, and enhancing TLR1 and TLR2 dimerization.CU-T12-9 activates both the innate and the adaptive immune systems. CU-T12-9 selectively activates the TLR1 2 heterodimer, not TLR2 6. CU-T12-9 signals through NF-κB and invokes an elevation of the downstream effectors TNF-α, IL-10, and iNOS.

C29 is a novel inhibitor of TLR2 1 and TLR2 6 signaling induced by synthetic and bacterial TLR2 agonists in human HEK-TLR2 and THP-1 cells, but only TLR2 1 signaling in murine macrophages.

MMG-11 inhibits both TLR2 1 and TLR2 6 signaling (IC50s: 1.7 μM for Pam3CSK4-induced hTLR2 1 and 5.7 μM for Pam2CSK4-induced hTLR2 6 responses). MMG-11 is an effective and selective human TLR2 antagonist with low cytotoxicity.

FSL-1 TFA, a toll-like receptor 2/6 (TLR2/6) agonist derived from bacteria, bolsters resistance against experimental HSV-2 infection[1] and stimulates MMP-9 production via the TLR2 and NF-κB/AP-1 signaling pathways in monocytic THP-1 cells[2].

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.

MMG-11 quarterhydrate is a potent and selective antagonist of human TLR2, inhibiting both TLR2 1 and TLR2 6 signaling with low cytotoxicity. The IC50 values for Pam3CSK4-induced hTLR2 1 and Pam2CSK4-induced hTLR2 6 responses are 1.7 μM and 5.7 μM, respectively [1].

NCI 126224, a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist, demonstrates selective inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, triggered by the TLR4 agonist LPS (IC50 = 0.31 µM), as opposed to minimal effects on NO production induced by agonists for TLR7/8 (R-848), TLR1/2 (Pam3CSK4), and TLR3 (poly(I:C)). Nevertheless, it also effectively inhibits NO production initiated by the TLR2/6 agonist FSL-1 at an IC50 of 0.6 µM in the same cell line. Moreover, NCI 126224 suppresses LPS-induced NF-κB activity in BV-2 microglial cells and reduces LPS-triggered increases in IL-1β and TNF-α levels in RAW 264.7 macrophages with IC50 values of 5.92, 0.42, and 1.54 µM, respectively.

Toll-like receptor 2/6 (TLR2/6) agonist. Induces TNF-α production in human mononuclear cells. Also induces proliferation and activation of mouse splenic B cells.

TLR2/6 agonist (also a putative TLR10 ligand). Activates NF-κB. Induces pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, IL-1β, CCL20 and TNF-α in vitro. Synergizes with IFNγ to induce CXCL10 release from melanoma cells.
