Biological Activity
Description
IC50 & Target
IC50: 0.6 µM (Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase)[1]
STAT4[1]
In Vitro
(R)-Lisofylline blocks IL-12-driven Th1 differentiation and T cell proliferation in vitro, yet has no effect on IL-12 secretion from APCs ex vivo or in vitro[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.
In Vivo
(R)-Lisofylline prevents β cell dysfunction in NOD mice by inhibition of STAT4 phosphorylation which interrupts IL-12 signaling. (R)-Lisofylline ameliorates experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in mice[1].
(R)-Lisofylline also improves survival in mice injected with a lethal dose of LPS and ameliorates sepsis-induced lung injury in minipigs. In rats given IL-1 intratracheally (R)-Lisofylline pretreatment reduces lung leak but does not decrease neutrophil accumulation in lungs[1].
(R)-Lisofylline also suppresses release of TNF-α in vivo in mice and ex vivo in human blood stimulated with endotoxin derived from Salmonella or Escherichia coli[1].

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co

Research Protocol for Metabolic Diseases
AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK, is a conserved cellular energy sensor that responds to reduced cellular energy status and coordinates metabolism by increasing ATP-generating catabolic pathways while suppressing ATP-consuming anabolic processes. In metabolic disease research, the AMPK pathway is experimentally relevant because it regulates hepatic lipid synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose production, skeletal-muscle glucose disposal, mTORC1-linked biosynthesis, autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, and whole-body energy balance. The central pathway logic is that energy stress, metformin, exercise-like stimulation, or direct AMPK activators increase AMPKα Thr172 phosphorylation and downstream substrate phosphorylation, including ACC and RAPTOR. Phosphorylation of ACC suppresses lipogenesis and supports fatty acid oxidation, whereas phosphorylation of RAPTOR suppresses mTORC1 signaling and links cellular energy status to growth and protein synthesis control. The pathway is linked
