Figure 1: Four known inhibitors of the interaction between TNFα and TNFR1. Interaction with the proteins were tested through biotin or radio-labeled TNFα a) Suramin, a natural product from, IC50 = 35 μM (125I or Eu- or biotin-labeled TNFα used in assay) [5,6]; b) WP9QY, peptidomimetic developed by Takasaki et al. [10], IC50 = 5 μM (125I-labeled TNFα used in assay) [10]; c) IW927, small molecule developed by Carter et al. [11], IC50 = 50 nM (Eu-TNFα based assay) [11]; and d) Saponin, a natural product [7]. |
