| Bioactivity | RP-54745 is an inhibitor of macrophage stimulation and interleukin-1 production, and a potential antirheumatic compound. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | RP-54745 diminishes LPS-induced interleukin-1 (IL-1) production by murine peritoneal macrophages[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | RP-54745 (5 mg/kg) is effective at moderating oral doses in different mouse models of induced arthritis and in the MRL/lpr mice, genetically predisposed to develop an autoimmune pathology including arthritic disorders. The clinical status of the MRL mice, and several of their disturbed biochemical and immunological parameters, improved after a 3-month treatment with RP-54745[2]. | ||||||||||||
