Ovalicin
Ovalicin is a multi-target inhibitor that targets MetAP2, HRH2, JAK2 and TRPV1, with anti-inflammatory and anti-atopic dermatitis activities. Ovalicin covalently binds to MetAP2 to inhibit its function, thereby blocking the replication of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Vittaforma corneae. Ovalicin alleviates intestinal injury and prolongs survival in infected mouse models, without showing obvious hepatorenal toxicity. Ovalicin attenuates LPS-induced calcium influx, reduces the infiltration of macrophages and mast cells in the skin, and regulates the expression of inflammation-related genes such as IL-31, effectively relieving allergic symptoms in mouse models. Ovalicin can be used for the research of microsporidiosis and atopic dermatitis.

Treatment of RK-13 rabbit kidney cells with Ovalicin (10 μM; 10 d) at a non-toxic concentration for 10 days results in over 70% replication inhibition of Encephalitozoon intestinalis (IC50=0.004 μM) and Vittaforma corneae (IC50=0.002 μM)[1].
Ovalicin (1-200 μg/mL; 24-72 h) reduces the viability of DH82 cells in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Ovalicin (2-8 μg/mL; 1 d) dose-dependently reduces the increased cell viability of DH82 cells pretreated with LPS[2].
Ovalicin (2-10 μg/mL; 1 d) dose-dependently inhibits the LPS-induced upregulation of IL4, IFNG, TRPV1, HRH2 and IL31RA mRNA expression in DH82 cells, with the inhibitory effect of 10 μg/mL Ovalicin being stronger than that of Dexamethasone (HY-14648)[2].
Ovalicin (2-10 μg/mL; 1 d) dose-dependently inhibits LPS-induced activation of the IL-31 signaling pathway in DH82 cells by reducing the expression of IL31RA, OSMR, JAK2 and p-STAT3; at concentrations of 4 and 10 μg/mL, its inhibitory effect is stronger than that of Dexamethasone (HY-14648)[2].
Ovalicin (10 μg/mL; 1 d) attenuates LPS-induced calcium influx in DH82 cells, and its efficacy is stronger than that of Dexamethasone (HY-14648) and Ruxolitinib (HY-50856)[2].
Ovalicin (2-10 μg/mL; 1 d) inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses in DH82 cells in a dose-dependent manner by reducing the levels of iNOS, COX2, NF-κB and ROS, and its inhibitory effect is stronger than that of Dexamethasone (HY-14648)[2].
