Bioactivity | Etiprednol dicloacetate (BNP 166) is an anti-inflammatory agent. Etiprednol dicloacetate inhibits eosinophil accumulation. Etiprednol dicloacetate can be used in the research of inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma[1][2]. |
Invitro | Etiprednol dicloacetate (1 nM-1 μM) inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production by human blood[1]. |
In Vivo | Etiprednol dicloacetate (0-100 μg/kg, intranasal inhalation) attenuates peribronchial eosinophilia in the lung of the allergen sensitized and challenged rats[1].Etiprednol dicloacetate (0.1 μg/kg, intranasal inhalation) inhibits eosinophil accumulation in rats (antigen-induced airway eosinophil infiltration)[3].Etiprednol dicloacetate (0-20 mg/kg, p.o., 28 days) is well tolerated in rats and dogs[2].
