Targeted Pathway | Target | Compound (Class) |
---|---|---|
Granuloma formation | TNF-α | Etanercept |
VEGF | Bevacizumab | |
Autophagy | mTOR | Rapamycin |
- | Carbamazepine | |
- | Valproic acid | |
EGFR | Gefitinib | |
Cathelicidin (and others) biosynthesis | Vitamin D a | |
Pro- and anti-inflammatory host responses | LXA4 production | Acetylsalicylic acid |
COX-1; COX-2 | NSAIDs |
a Besides upregulating innate immune functions via pleiotropic effects, including autophagy induction, vitamin D also regulates inflammatory host responses by downregulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, augmenting the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines and interfering with T cell responses.
