Suplatast Tosilate (IPD 1151T) is a Th2 cytokine inhibitor that attenuates IL-2, IL-5 and IL-13 production and has no effect on IFN-γ production. IC50 value:Target: Th2 cytokine inhibitorSuplatast Tosilate acts as an immunoregulator that suppresses IgE production, eosinophil infiltration and histamine release. Suplatast Tosilate(IPD 1151T) exhibits antiasthmatic, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic activity in vivo and is orally active.
