Bioactivity | Suplatast Tosilate (IPD 1151T) is an orally active Th2 cytokine inhibitor which can inhibit both IL-4 and IL-5 production from Th2 cells and suppress IgE synthesis. Suplatast Tosilate is an anti-allergic agent. Suplatast Tosilate has antiasthmatic, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activity[1][2][3][4]. |
Invitro | IPD-1151T (1-10 μM; 10 d) induces a concentration-dependent suppression of purified allergen (Cry j 1)-dependent IgE synthesis in autologous B cell cultures mediated by SN-4, without significantly affecting the IgG synthesis[1].IPD-1151T (1-10 μM; 24 h) clearly depresses phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced expression of IL-4 mRNA in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)[1]. |
In Vivo | Suplatast Tosilate (100 mg/kg; once daily for 21 d) inhibits the production of Th2 cytokines, which inhibits eosinophil infiltration into the murine airway, IgE synthesis, and development of BHR, in a murine model of asthma[2].Suplatast Tosilate (100 μg/kg; once daily for 14 d) strongly suppresses immunoglobulin E contents in serum[3].
