Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound 16 is a sulphide prodrug of the sesquiterpene lactone Micheliolide (MCL; which exhibits anti-inflammatory effects [2-3]). It was designed to improve the safety profile (lower blood-brain barrier permeability) compared to the previously explored MCL prodrug ACT001, specifically to support investigation as an anti-fungal agent [1]. Like ACT001, 16 inhibits PD-L1 expression in neutrophils, via a STAT3-dependent mechanism.
