Bioactivity | SMA-12b is a small molecule analogue of the parasitic worm compound ES-62. SMA-12b has immunomodulatory activity, acting by regulating the expression of multiple inflammatory response genes, especially those associated with inflammatory bodies. SMA-12b significantly reduces the expression of cytokine IL-1β associated with inflammatory bodies and inhibites the production of IL-1β through a mechanism mediated by NRF2. SMA-12b can be used in the study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases[1]. |
