Deskripsi

Redirection of the TCA cycle intermediate aconitate to itaconate production has anti-inflammatory effects. Here the authors show that the itaconate derivative 4-octyl-itaconate is anti-inflammatory partly as a result of inhibiting GAPDH enzymatic activity and thereby glycolysis in macrophages.
