CU-CPT22

CU CPT 22 is a potent protein complex of toll-like receptor 1 and 2 (TLR1/2) inhibitor, and competes with the synthetic triacylated lipoprotein (Pam3CSK4) binding to TLR1/2 with a Ki of 0.41µM. CU CPT 22 blocks Pam3CSK4-induced TLR1/2 activation with an IC₅₀ of 0.58µM^[1].

CU CPT 22 (4-8µM) inhibited NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner, and CU CPT 22 at a concentration of 8µM could inhibit approximately 60% of TNF-α and 95% of IL-1β^[1]. CU CPT 22 (2-8µM) blocks the increased expression of inflammatory cytokines IL6 and TNF-α produced after TLR2 activation caused by viral infection of N9 microglia and inhibits TLR2 signaling^[2].

CU CPT 22 (3mg/kg) inhibits the TLR2 pathway, improves autonomic dysfunction symptoms in MPTP mice, and protects the vagus nerve from p-α-syn-mediated myelin destruction in Parkinson’s disease^[3]. In a colorectal cancer tumor model, CU CPT 22 (2.5mg/kg) significantly reduced the effect of oxaliplatin, leading to a decrease in tumor-infiltrating immune cells, including CD⁴⁺, CD⁸⁺, and IFN^γ+ CD⁸⁺ cells^[4]. CU CPT 22 (3mg/kg) administered before Myocardial Infarction significantly suppressed Myocardial Infarction-induced upregulation of KIM-1, TLR2, TLR4, MyD88, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 levels and activation of NF-κB, whereas NGAL levels and IL-6 and TNF-α expression levels were unchanged^[5].
