TNF-α-IN-18 (Compound 61) is an inhibitor for TNF-α (IC50 of 1.8 μM), that inhibits TNF signaling pathway through block of NF-kB migration from cytoplasm to nucleus. TNF-α-IN-18 exhibits slight cytotoxicity to mouse fibroblast LM cell, with a CC50 >50 μM. TNF-α-IN-18 ameliorates the TNF- or Lipopolysaccharide -induced sepsis in mouse models. TNF-α-IN-18 protects mice from rheumatoid arthritis[1].
