AN0128 is a boron-containing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. AN0128 against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, P. acnes, B. subtilis with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 1, 0.5, 0.3, 1 μg/mL. AN0128 can be used for the research of periodontal disease and cutaneous diseases[1][2].
AN0128 (compound 2g; 10 μM; 24-48 hours) shows strong inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) but no inhibition of IFN-γ or IL-4 release in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[1].
AN0128 (1%, 5%; daily topical daub for 7 days) significantly reduces the formation of an inflammatory infiltrate and reduces bone loss[2].
