Torbafylline
Torbafylline is a PDE inhibitor. Torbafylline mitigates protein breakdown in rat skeletal muscle following burns by activating the PDE4/cAMP/EPAC/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Torbafylline suppresses the increased ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent protein degradation observed in the skeletal muscles of rats susceptible to cancer and sepsis.

LPS-Induced Endotoxemia/Systemic Inflammation
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia is a widely used in vivo model of acute systemic inflammation in which LPS, a Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin, activates innate immune signaling primarily through TLR4, leading to rapid and transient induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in circulation and tissues. This cytokine surge is commonly used as a measurable readout of systemic inflammatory activation and immune dysregulation, and is typically assessed within hours after intraperitoneal LPS administration in mouse models of endotoxemia. The model captures key features of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, including cytokine release, immune cell activation, and downstream tissue responses, and has been used to evaluate anti-inflammatory interventions such as cytokine modulation, lipid mediators, and immune cell-targeting therapies.
