Deskripsi
While biologics have been successfully applied in TNF antagonist treatments, there are no clinically approved small molecules that target TNF. Here, the authors discover potent small molecule inhibitors of TNF, elucidate their molecular mechanism, and demonstrate TNF inhibition in vitro and in vivo.
