Thalidomide
Chemical Name: N-(2,6-dioxo-3-piperidinyl)phthalimide
Purity: ≥99%
Biological Activity
Thalidomide is a selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) synthesis. Anti-inflammatory; promotes T-cell activation. Predicted to reduce cytokine release in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Also binds cereblon, inhibiting ubiquitin ligase activity. Teratogenic and sedative-hypnotic. Promotes degradation of transcription factor SALL4.Technical Data
