β-Aminoarteether (SM934;10 µM; 24 hours) treatment directly enhances IL-10 production and suppresses IL-12/23p40 production in primary peritoneal macrophages with IFN-γ stimulation[1].
In vitro, β-Aminoarteether (SM934) could suppress the Th1 and Th17 polarization, but exerted no influence on Treg differentiation[1].
β-Aminoarteether (SM934; 1-10 mg/kg; oral administration; daliy; for 3 months) treatment significantly delays the progression of glomerulonephritis and increases the survival rate of NZB/W F1 mice. β-Aminoarteether treatment promots the IL-10 production of macrophages from NZB/W F1 mice[1].
