LMP-420

LMP-420 is a selective tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitor. LMP-420 reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, IL-2), inducing the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and anti-apoptotic molecules SOCS-1 and Mn-SOD. LMP-420 also downregulates chemokines (e.g., IP-10, MCP-1) to reduce immune cell infiltration. LMP-420 is promising for research of type 1 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory diseases (e.g., colitis), and HIV-Mycobacterium tuberculosis coinfection[1].
