In vitro: Tocilizumab inhibits the binding of IL-6 to its receptors, and thus reduces the cytokines pro-inflammatory activity by competing for both the soluble and membrane-bound forms of the human IL-6 receptor. The inhibitory profile of anti-IL-6R mAb Tocilizumab is independent of membrane-bound IL-6R expression. Tocilizumab has anticancer potency via apoptosis induction as an agonistic IL-6R regulator. It has also been demonstrated that tocilizumab has an anti-proliferative effect on glioma cells via inhibition of the JAK-STAT3 pathway. Tocilizumab exhibits a significant growth inhibition in NSCLC cells (H460, A549, H1299 and H358), with proliferation significantly decreased by approximately 40% in A549 cells. Tocilizumab does not alter the levels of the ERK1/2, STAT3, NFκB and phosphorylated ERK1/2 and STAT3 proteins, but this antibody does considerably increase the expression of phosphorylated NFκB in NSCLC cells. Tocilizumab significantly inhibits expression of both IL-8 and MMP-9, known as the major angiogenic factors.
In vivo: A series of clinical studies has shown that inhibition of IL-6 signaling by tocilizumab is therapeutically effective in rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Castleman's disease, and Crohn's disease. In all of these diseases, tocilizumab ameliorates inflammatory manifestations, and normalizes acute phase protein levels. Tocilizumab as a monotherapy and in combination, such as with methotrexate in case of rheumatoid arthritis, seems to be well tolerated. Tocilizumab markedly decreases the number of invaded capillary vessels in tumors.

| Reslizumab
Reslizumab (Sch 55700) is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting human interleukin 5 (IL-5) for the study of eosinophilic asthma. Reslizumab effectively blocks il-5 function. Reslizumab inhibited IL-5-dependent cell proliferation with an IC50 of about 91.1 pM. |
| Montelukast sodium
Montelukast sodium selectively antagonizes leukotriene D 4 (LTD4) by binding to it so that block the action of leukotriene D4 on the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1. |
| VGX-1027
VGX-1027 is an orally active immunomodulator. |
| Diacerein
Diacerin is an inhibitor of pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-1B (IL-1B) production, prescribed for osteoarthritis and chronic inflammatory arthritis. |
| SC144
SC144 is the first oral active GP130 (IL6-beta) inhibitor. SC144 binds gp130, induces gp130 phosphorylation (S782) and deglycosylation, eliminates Stat3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, and further inhibits downstream target gene expression. SC144 inhibited signal transduction induced by GP130 ligand. SC144 induces apoptosis of human ovarian cancer cells. |
