Description

KCF-18 inhibits cytokine-induced inflammatory response. It has amphiphilic properties (positively charged and hydrophobic residues) derived from the receptors of proinflammatory cytokines. The lab studies report KCF-18:

  • Binds to cytokines simultaneously, with electrostatic interactions being the dominant mechanism
  • Significantly reduces the binding of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6) to their cognate receptors
  • Suppresses TNF-α mRNA expression and monocyte binding and transmigration
  • Alleviates the infiltration of white blood cells (in a peritonitis mouse model)

Studies support that KCF-18 could remarkably diminish the risk of vascular inflammation by decreasing plasma cytokines release and by directly acting on the vascular endothelium.
