LCC-12 (formate)

LCC-12 (formate) is a copper (II) chelator and a derivative of the biguanide metformin (HY-B0627) . LCC-12 (formate) reduces its hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of NADH to NAD+. LCC-12 (formate) reduces IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α levels, as well as JAK2, STAT2, and IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) levels in primary human cytokine-activated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) .
