tumor immune response

Immunity refers to the ability of the body to resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and resist a variety of diseases. Immunocompromised will inevitably lead to a series of diseases. Immunopotentiator are a class of compounds that enhance immune function and induce immune response. Immunopotentiator can activate the proliferation and differentiation of one or more kinds of immune active cells in the body, promote the secretion of lymphocytes, and then enhance the immune function of the body. Immunopotentiator are mainly used in the treatment of tumors, infectious diseases and immunodeficiency diseases. In addition, immunopotentiator are often used as adjuvants in combination with vaccine antigens to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines.

MCE designs a unique collection of 80 compounds with definite or potential Immunopotentiating effect, mainly targeting the NOD-like Receptor (NLR), Toll-like Receptor (TLR), NF-κB, etc. It is an effective tool for development and research of anti-cancer, anti-infectious diseases and anti-immunodeficiency diseases compounds.

Immuno-Oncology is a type of immunotherapy that has the specific purpose of treating cancer. It works by stimulating our immune system to fight back. Normally, our immune system is able to destroy cancer cells in our body, however sometimes cancer cells can adapt and mutate, effectively hiding from our immune system. This is when tumors can develop and become a threat to our health. Immuno-oncology involves mobilizing lymphocytes to recognize and eliminate cancer cells using the body’s immune system. There are several immuno-oncology treatments available, including Immune cell therapy (CAR-T), monoclonal antibodies (mABs) and checkpoint inhibitors, cytokines and cancer vaccines.

MCE Small Molecule Immuno-Oncology Compound Library offers 486 bioactive tumor immunology compounds that target some important checkpoints such as PD1/PD-L1, CXCR, Sting, IDO, TLR, etc. This library is a useful tool for Immuno-oncology research.

Cytokines are a kind of low molecular soluble proteins synthesized and secreted by immunogen, mitogen or other factors. They have functions of regulating innate and adaptive immune responses, promoting hematopoiesis, stimulating cell activation, proliferation and differentiation. The process of releasing a large number of cytokines is also called “Cytokine storm”, which can cause damage to many tissues and organs in the body. Cytokine is involved in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, chronic inflammatory diseases and so on. Cytokine inhibitors are a class of essential compounds that act by directly inhibiting the synthesis and release of cytokine or blocking the binding of cytokine to their receptors. Cytokine inhibitors are important compounds for the study of tumor and autoimmune diseases.

MCE designs a unique collection of 820 cytokine inhibitors, mainly targeting the receptor interleukin (IL), colony-stimulating factor (CSF), interferon (IFN), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), growth factor (GF) and chemokine, which is an effective tool for development and research of anti-cancer, anti-chronic inflammatory diseases and anti-autoimmune diseases compounds.
