tnf-alpha-in-2

TNF-α-IN-2 is a highly potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), exhibiting an IC50 of 25 nM in the HTRF assay. It induces conformational changes in the TNFα trimer upon binding, disrupting signaling when the trimer interacts with TNFR1. TNF-α-IN-2 holds promise as a valuable tool for investigating the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis [1].

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is a quinolinone derivative with anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory activities. Rebamipide induces cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) synthesis which results in an increase in endogenous prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric mucosa. This agent also inhibits H. pylori-induced production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and subsequent inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In addition, rebamipide scavenges oxygen-derived free radicals that potentially cause mucosal injury, and stimulates prostaglandin EP4 receptor gene expression followed by mucous secretion, thereby enhancing the gastric mucosal defense.

Crocin (Gardenia Yellow) is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment of saffron (Crocus sativus L. ) that has been used as a spice for flavoring and coloring food preparations, and in Chinese traditional medicine as an anodyne or tranquilizer. Crocin suppresses tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha-induced apoptosis of pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells by modulating mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 family proteins, which trigger downstream signals culminating in caspase-3 activation followed by cell death. Crocin prevented the activation of nSMase by enhancing the transcription of gamma-glutamylcysteinyl synthase, which contributes to a stable glutathione supply that blocks the activity of nSMase.

Rupatadine (UR-12592, rupatadine) is a potent and orally available dual antagonist of PAF and histamine H1 receptors with Ki values of 0.55 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively, which provides relief of allergic symptoms and anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria.

1. Berberrubine chloride (9-Berberoline Chloride) has antitumor activity. 2. Berberrubine has antidiabetic activity. 3. Berberrubine dose-dependently inhibits IL-8 and MCP-1 protein levels in the media and mRNA expression of the cells stimulated with IL-1beta or TNF-alpha.

SP-100030 is a dual inhibitor of NF-κB and activator protein-1 (AP-1), demonstrating potent inhibition with IC50 values of 50 nM for both. It effectively reduces the production of IL-2, IL-8, and TNF-alpha in Jurkat and other T cell lines. Additionally, SP-100030 has been shown to decrease the severity of murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).

1. Ruscogenin has anti-inflammatory activity, suppressed zymosan A-evoked peritoneal total leukocyte migration in mice in a dose-dependent manner, 2. Ruscogenin inhibited adhesion of leukocytes to a human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (ECV34) injured by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. Ruscogenin significantly attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury via inhibiting expressions of TF and iNOS and NF-kappa B p65 activation.

BMS-561392 formate, the formate derivative of BMS-561392, functions as a TNF alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitor and an ADAM17 blocker. It is utilized in the research of inflammatory bowel disease [1] [2].

GHK-Cu acetate, a complex of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys and a copper(II) ion, exhibits wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It enhances fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, and the release of pro-matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), while also increasing decorin expression in rat wound tissue. Furthermore, at a concentration of 10 µM, it reduces levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, GHK-Cu at 10 µg/g mitigates LPS-induced reductions in lung superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) levels, decreases the accumulation of cells and total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and thus, attenuates acute lung injury in mice.

Sugiol (10-Deoxoxanthoperol) has antioxidant efficacy, it has significant scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl, nitric oxide, superoxide and hydroxyl free radicals. Sugiol's efficacy in inhibiting the inflammatory cytokines of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha could be attributed to a reduction of the ROS that leads to a decrease in the phosphorylation of MAPKs.

Shizukaol B exerts anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-activated microglia partly by modulating JNK-AP-1 signaling pathway; it also shows significant anti-neuroinflammatory effects by inhibiting nitric-oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimul
