Roquinimex (Linomide; PNU212616; ABR212616) is a quinoline derivative immunostimulant which increases NK cell activity and macrophage cytotoxicity; inhibits angiogenesis and reduces the secretion of TNF alpha.IC50 value:Target: TNF alphaProphylactic administration of DSS-treated mice with roquinimex significantly reduced clinical signs of colitis, MDS and the CH-reduction. Moreover, in roquinimex treated animals, the MPO activity was significantly reduced by more than 50% compared to DSS control mice. Notably, therapeutic administration of roquinimex in DSS-treated mice also significantly inhibited the MDS, CH-reduction and MPO activity [2]. Linomide, a synthetic immunomodulator, at concentrations effective in vivo reduces the number of MBP-reactive TNF-alpha and increases MBP-reactive IL-10 and TGF-beta mRNA expressing MNC from MS patients' blood when analysed in vitro.
