Verproside, a catalpol derivative iridoid glycoside isolated from the genus Pseudolysimachion, represses TNF-α -induced MUC5AC expression by inhibiting NF-κB activation via the IKK/IκB signaling cascade. Verproside has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antinociceptive activities and ir is a potent anti-asthmatic/COPD drug candidate in vivo[1].
Cot inhibitor-1 is a COT/Tpl2 inhibitor.

Dexanabinol (HU-211) is an artificially synthesized cannabinoid derivative and lacks cannabimimetic effects. Dexanabinol exhibits not only the antioxidant and neuroprotective activities in brain but also anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NF-κB and decreasing cytokines such as TNFα and interleukin-6, which could ensure the integrity of BBB and reduce cell apoptosis and death. Dexanabinol is widely used in head injury or stroke treatment and has been shown to be safe in animals and humans[1].
