The authors then experimentally showed that CGP-60474 alleviated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in activated macrophages, downregulated the NF-κB activity, and reduced the mortality rate in lipopolysaccharide induced endotoxemia mice. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is serum lipopolysaccharide activity.
