NF-kB Inhibitors that Demonstrate Anti-Inflammatory Activity in Experimental Models
Classa | In vitro | In vivo |
---|---|---|
aAn extensive collection of drugs that range widely in structure and activity are now known to inhibit NF-κB activity, and more importantly, they alleviate inflammation in pharmacologically relevant in vivo models. Unfortunately, many of these drugs display significant and harmful side effects, and so the identification of safer, selective inhibitors of NF-κB activation remains a major goal for many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. | ||
