Description
Benpyrine is a highly specific and orally active TNF-α inhibitor with a KD value of 82.1 μM. Benpyrine tightly binds to TNF-α and blocks its interaction with TNFR1, with an IC50 value of 0.109 µM. Benpyrine has the potential for TNF-α mediated inflammatory and autoimmune disease research.

How to use
In Vitro:
Benpyrine (5-20 µM; 14 hours; RAW264.7 cells) pretreatment results in a dose-dependent decrease in the phosphorylation of IκBα in RAW264.7 cells (stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α or 1 μg/mL LPS). Benpyrine abolishes the TNF-α-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB/p65 in RAW264.7 cells. Benpyrine only blocks cell death induced by TNF-αWT and Y119A, and increases the cell survival rate up to 80%. Benpyrine does not obviously affect L57A- and Y59L-induced cytotoxicity in L929 cells.
In Vivo:
Benpyrine (25-50 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 2 weeks; Balb/c mice) treatment significantly relieves the symptoms of collagen-induced arthritis. Benpyrine dose-dependently decreases the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-γ, IL-1β and IL-6, and increases the concentration of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Endotoxemia murine model shows that Benpyrine (25 mg/kg) could attenuate TNF-α-induced inflammation, thereby reducing liver and lung injury.
