S5851 4'-Methoxychalcone 4'-Methoxychalcone, found in citrus, is chalcone derivative that has shown diverse pharmacological properties, including anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities. 4'-Methoxychalcone significantly enhanced adipocyte differentiation, in part, by its potent effects on PPARγ activation and by its reverse effect on TNF-α.
S8133 Resiquimod (R-848) Resiquimod (R-848, S28463) is an immune response modifier that acts as a potent TLR 7/TLR 8 agonist that induces the upregulation of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-α. Resiquimod reduces hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Phase 2.

S7942 Bioymifi Bioymifi, a small-molecule death receptor 5 (DR5) agonist, binds to the extracellular domain(ECD) of DR5 with a Kd of 1.2 μM but showed little binding affinity to the DR4 ECD. It induces DR5 clustering and aggregation, leading to apoptosis.

E2630 SKF-86002 SKF-86002 is an orally active p38 MAPK inhibitor, inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulate human monocyte IL-1 and TNF-α production with IC50 of 1 μM, also inhibits lipoxygenase- and cyclooxygenase-mediated metabolism of arachidonic acid.
S1537 Vadimezan (DMXAA) Vadimezan (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agents (VDA) and competitive inhibitor of DT-diaphorase with Ki of 20 μM and IC50 of 62.5 μM in cell-free assays, respectively. DMXAA (Vadimezan) is also a STING agonist with potential antineoplastic activity. DMXAA (Vadimezan) potently induces IFN-β but relatively low TNF-α expression in vitro. DMXAA (Vadimezan) has antiviral activity. Phase 3.

E3633 Ginger Extract Ginger Extract is extracted from Zingiber officinale Roscoe, which has antioxidant potential and regulates STAT6 and TNF- α pathways.
E3634 Ginger Extract(1%) Ginger Extract(1%) is extracted from Zingiber officinale Roscoe, which has antioxidant potential and regulates STAT6 and TNF- α pathways.
E3024 Ampelopsis Japonica Root Extract Ampelopsis Japonica Root Extract is extracted from Ampelopsis japonica, may be a new therapeutic agent with the potential to reduce or replace corticosteroids and its mechanisms are closely related to regulation of TNF-α production.
P1240New Etanercept Etanercept, a dimeric fusion protein, functions as an inhibitor of TNF by binding to TNF. It competitively blocks the attachment of both TNF-α and TNF-β to their cell surface receptors, thereby neutralizing TNF's biological activity. Etanercept has proven effectiveness in treating rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis.
