optimized to dock into MD-2 and CD14 binding sites. Some of these calixarenes were active in inhibiting, in a dose-dependent way, the LPS-stimulated TLR4 activation and TLR4-dependent cytokine production in human and mouse cells. Moreover, guanidinocalixarenes also inhibited TLR4 signaling when TLR4 was activated by a non-LPS stimulus, the plant lectin PHA. While the activity of guanidinocalixarenes
我们最近报道了阳离子两亲物在抑制TLR4活化以及随后在细胞和动物模型中产生炎性细胞因子的活性。从适当设计的阳离子两亲物可以充当CD14 / MD-2配体并因此调节TLR4信号的假设出发,我们在此介绍一组两亲性胍基杯芳烃,其结构在计算上经过优化,可与MD-2和CD14结合位点对接。这些杯芳烃中的一些在以剂量依赖性方式抑制人和小鼠细胞中LPS刺激的TLR4活化和TLR4依赖性细胞因子产生方面具有活性。此外,当TLR4被非LPS刺激(植物凝集素PHA)激活时,胍基杯芳烃也抑制TLR4信号传导。
