[CAS NO. 171235-71-5]  TAPI-1

TAPI-1 prevents unstimulated and PMA-induced release of the soluble forms of TNF-alpha, p60 TNFR, and IL-6R from the monocytic cell line, THP-1, and from human peripheral blood monocytes. TAPI also inhibits LPS-induced shedding of the p60 TNFR and TNF-alpha from monocytes. TAPI-1 inhibits TACE-dependent constitutive release of co-transfected APP(695). TAPI-1 attenuates Ang II-induced EGFR transactivation and cell proliferation in human HSC line LI90. TAPI-1 with the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 exhibits deactivated AREG/EGFR/ERK signaling pathway and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines release in pSS salivary gland-derived epithelial cells.
