Bindarit is an indazolic derivative with anti-inflammatory efficacy in vitro (150-300 μM) and in animal disease models in vivo (100 mg/kg ip, 50 mg/kg po, or 0.5% in chow; rats & mice). Bindarit selectively inhibits LPS-induced CCL2/MCP-1, CCL7/MCP-3, CCL8/MCP-2 chemokines over CCL3/MIP-1α and IL-8/CXCL8 in human monocytes, while blocking CCL2, but not CCL7 or CCL8, induction in HUVECs, and preventing LPS-induced CCL2 & IL-12β/p40 by inhibiting NFκB activation in murine macrophages (BMDM & Raw 264.7). Bindarit is also reported to exhibit non-competitive inhibiory potency against human monocarboxylate transporter MCT4 (Ki = 30.2 μM) over MCT1 (<40% inhibition at 500 μM).
NFκB activation, CCL2 (MCP1) & IL-12β/p40 induction blocker with anti-inflammation efficacy in vivo. Selectively inhibits monocarboxylate transporter MCT4 over MCT1.
Aims: Radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity often precludes the application of curative radiation doses. Here we investigated the therapeutic potential
Breast cancer, the most deadly cancer in women, is characterized by elevated levels of inflammation within and surrounding the tumor, which can lead to accelerated growth, invasion and metastasis. Macrophages are central to the inflammatory milieu and are recruited to

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of bindarit on animal survival and renal damage in murine lupus autoimmune disease. Female NZB/W mice were used. Bindarit was administered, as a 0.5% medicated diet, starting either before the onset
Increasing concerns over the possible risks of nanotechnology necessitates breakthroughs in structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) at nano-bio interfaces. However, current nano-SARs are often based on univariate assessments and fail to provide tiered views on ENM-induced bio-effects. Here we
β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), a nutritional supplement, elicits anabolic activity in muscle. Here we investigated the mechanism of HMB uptake in muscle cells. Murine muscle cells (C2C12) and human mammary epithelial cells (MCF7) were used for uptake. As HMB is a monocarboxylate
