TNF-α-IN-2 (5-25 mg/kg; p.o. 1 h before TNF stimulation) inhibits TNF-induced IL-6 in mice.
TNF-α-IN-2 (2-10 mg/kg; p.o. twice daily for 10 d) dose dependently reduces both the clinical score as well as the levels of inflammatory cytokines and leukocyte cell surface receptors in mice.
TNF-α-IN-2 (0.5 mg/kg; i.v.) exhibits long t1/2 (6.2 h), low CL (6.6 mL/min•kg), and Vss (3.2 L/kg) in mice.
TNF-α-IN-2 (2 mg/kg; p.o.) exhibits good oral bioavailability (58%), Cmax (0.47 μM), and AUCtot (5.9 μM•h) in mice.
| Animal Model: |
Female C57Bl/6 mice |
| Dosage: |
5, 25 mg/kg |
| Administration: |
P.o. 1 h prior to TNF stimulation |
| Result: |
Inhibited IL-6 moderately at 5 mg/kg while the inhibition at 25 mg/kg was similar to mouse Enbrel, which served as the positive control in the study. |
