Description
A cell-permeable isoxazoline compound that displays anti-inflammatory properties. Inhibits MIF dopachrome tautomerase activity by binding to its catalytic active site (IC50 = 7 µM for D-dopachrome tautomerase) and suppresses the production of TNFα, PGE2 and COX-2 in human monocytes and arachidonic acid in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Shown to exhibit antidiabetogenic properties in immunoinflammatory diabetic mouse model
