Bioactivity | Resatorvid (TAK-242) is a selective Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor. Resatorvid inhibits NO, TNF-α and IL-6 production with IC50s of 1.8 nM, 1.9 nM and 1.3 nM, respectively. Resatorvid downregulates expression of TLR4 downstream signaling molecules MyD88 and TRIF. Resatorvid inhibits autophagy and plays pivotal role in various inflammatory diseases[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Resatorvid suppresses the production of NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 from LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at IC50 values from 11 to 33 nM[1].Resatorvid (1-100 nM; 4 hours) inhibits mRNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α induced by LPS and IFN-γ in RAW264.7 cells[1]. Resatorvid (1-100 nM; 15 minutes; PBMCs cells) markedly inhibits the LPS-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2), p38, and JNK/SAPK as well as degradation of IκBβ at a concentration of 100 nM[1].

In Vivo | Resatorvid (TAK-242; 3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; for 2 days; male C57BL/6 mice) pretreatment markedly and significantly reverses the LPS-induced body weight loss, TA muscle loss, and muscle strength loss. TAK-242 reverses the LPS-induced shrinkage of muscle fibres and increases the interstitial space. TAK-242 blocks systemic catabolic cytokine release and skeletal muscle proteolysis in LPS-administered mice[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
