Suplatast (Tosilate)

Suplatast Tosilate (IPD 1151T) is an orally active Th2 cytokine inhibitor which can inhibit both IL-4 and IL-5 production from Th2 cells and suppress IgE synthesis. Suplatast Tosilate is an anti-allergic agent. Suplatast Tosilate has antiasthmatic, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activity[1][2][3][4].
