 Use of EM 163


EM 163 is a TIR-TIR interaction inhibitor, which is a TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) structural domain mimic of the MyD88 protein. EM 163 targets the TIR structural domain in the IL-1 receptor and blocks the interaction with MyD88. EM 163 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines in vivo caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). EM 163 protects mice from SEB shock-induced death. In rat hippocampal neurons in vitro, EM 163 blocked the activation of p38 and the inhibitory effect of IL-1β on chemically induced long-term potentiation (LTP)-triggered protein synthesis.

Description EM 163 is a TIR-TIR interaction inhibitor, which is a TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) structural domain mimic of the MyD88 protein. EM 163 targets the TIR structural domain in the IL-1 receptor and blocks the interaction with MyD88. EM 163 inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines in vivo caused by staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). EM 163 protects mice from SEB shock-induced death. In rat hippocampal neurons in vitro, EM 163 blocked the activation of p38 and the inhibitory effect of IL-1β on chemically induced long-term potentiation (LTP)-triggered protein synthesis.
In Vivo Notably, a novel TIR domain peptidomimetic (EM163) blocked both the activation of p38 and the suppression of cLTP-dependent protein synthesis by IL-1β. Our data support a model where IL-1β suppresses LTP directly in neurons by inhibiting mTOR-dependent translation.[1]
