General description
WY-14643 prevents lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in synovial fibroblasts. It protects cortical neurons from pro-inflammatory mediator-induced cell injuries. WY-14643 has inhibitory effects on pro-inflammatory responses in microglia. It improves oxido-nitrosative stress in disease models and reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxidation end-products in the brain.
Application
WY-14643 has been used:
- as a positive control for transfection and luciferase assay
- to stimulate bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDM) for autophagic flux analysis
- to analyze the regulation of fatty acid metabolism-immune nexus (FAMIN) expression in cell culture
Biochem/physiol Actions
