IL-12 Modulator

RO8323 is an orally active, selective CDK8/CDK19 inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 2 nM against CDK8 and 3 nM against CDK19. RO8323 promotes regulatory T cell differentiation, inhibits effector T cell generation, reverses the Teff/Treg ratio, upregulates IL-10 production in myeloid cells, and suppresses the production of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-12. RO8323 enhances immune reconstitution and prolongs cardiac allograft survival in a dose-dependent manner. RO8323 can be used in the research of chronic graft-versus-host disease, cardiac allograft rejection, acute graft-versus-host disease and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Tryptanthrin is an indole quinazoline that could be an alkaloid from indigo-bearing plants. Tryptanthrin is a potent and orally active cellular Leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis inhibitor. Tryptanthrin has anticancer activity. Tryptanthrin suppresses the expression levels of NOS1, COX-2, and NF-κB and regulates the expression levels of IL-2, IL-10, and TNF-α.

Laricitrin is a natural product with multiple biological activities. Laricitrin inhibits the phosphorylation and DNA-binding activity of STAT3, and downregulates the expression of IL-10. Laricitrin acts as an immunomodulator to regulate the differentiation, maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs). Laricitrin inhibits the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells, and ameliorates lung cancer progression. Laricitrin can be used in research related to hypertension and lung cancer.
