IDT is an orally active TNFα modulator. It acts by altering neutrophil infiltration, improving cognition and diminishing tau and amyloid pathology in the 3xTgAD mouse model.
SR1555 is a selective RORγ inverse agonist that inhibits the development and function of TH17 cells, a subset of T cells that have been involved in the pathology of several autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
BNC-1 is a modulator of amyloid pathology. BNC-1 significantly decreases amyloid burden and improves markers of synaptic integrity in well-established mouse models of amyloid deposition by promoting phosphorylation and activation of Elk-1.
Sulfatides are endogenous sulfoglycolipids with various biological activities in the central and peripheral nervous systems, pancreas, and immune system. They are produced from the combination of ceramide and UDP-galactose in the endoplasmic reticulum followed by sulfation in the Golgi apparatus. The ceramide portion contains variable fatty acid chain lengths, which are tissue- and pathology-dependent. Sulfatides are primarily found in the myelin sheath of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, with smaller chain lengths predominant during development and longer chain lengths predominant in mature cells. They accumulate in the lysosome of patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a disorder characterized by arylsulfatase A deficiency. Sulfatides are also located in pancreatic β-cells and inhibit insulin release from isolated rat pancreatic islet cells, suggesting a potential role in diabetes. Sulfatides can induce inflammation in glia in vitro and certain sulfatides, such as C24:1 3'-sulfo-galactosylceramide, can induce an immune response in vitro in mouse splenocytes. Sulfatides (bovine) (sodium salt) is a mixture of isolated bovine sulfatides.
