How 18-tetrahydroxy-5b works
HMPL-004 acts on multiple cellular targets in the inflammatory signal transduction pathways resulting in suppressed inflammation cytokine expression including TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. HMPL-004 was demonstrated to inhibit TNF-α and IL-1β production in cell-based assays. HMPL-004 is also able to inhibit NF-kB activation. NF-kB is a family of transcriptional factors that regulate a wide spectrum of genes critically involved in host defence and inflammation. The mechanism of action of HMPL-004 was further supported in laboratory IBD animal models. Treatment of IBD rats with HMPL-004 caused a significant drop in plasma cytokine concentrations, including TNF-α and IL-1β.
