Representative drugs targeting immune regulation in neutrophils.
Principle | Classification | Intervention/Drugs | Mechanisms | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
Targeting the glucose metabolism pathway. | Glycolytic agonist | NA-11 | Activates the enzyme PFKL and redirects the metabolic flux from the pentose phosphate pathway back to the glycolytic pathway, consequently inhibiting the NOX 2-dependent oxidative burst in neutrophils. | (64) |
PPP inhibitor | G6PDi | Suppresses G6PD, thus blocking the PPP and respiratory burst | (62) | |
Targeting inflammasome | GSDMD inhibitor | Disulfiram | Inhibits GSDMD-mediated inflammasome activation | (112, 113) |
ivermectin | inhibits GSDMD oligomerization | (114) | ||
NE inhibitor | Necrostatin-1 | Inhibition of NE activation and the subsequent activation of GSDMD by NE | (115, 116) | |
Targeting chemokines/cytokines and neutrophil receptors | Human monoclonal antibody against IL-8 | HuMab 10F8 | Blocks IL-8 to inhibit neutrophil migration | (117) |
Inhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors | Repertaxin | blocks CXCL 1/2 signaling in neutrophils | (118) | |
IL-1 receptor inhibitor | IL-1 Ra | Blocks the signaling of IL-1 β in neutrophils | (119, 120) | |
Human antibody against N-terminal domain of MK | anti-N-MK | Prevents neutrophil migration | (121) |
