Potent dual inhibitor of NF-κB and AP-1 transcriptional activity (IC50 = 50 nM). Blocks production of IL-2, IL-8 and TNF-α from Jurkat T cells. Inhibits cytokine production selectively in T cells; exhibits minimal inhibition of cytokine production in other cell types. Decreases arthritic severity in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis. Also ameliorates muscle wasting in a rat model of cancer cachexia.
