Schematic diagram illustrating a potential mechanism of action by curine on macrophage activation and neutrophil recruitment. The inhibition of calcium influx could be affecting signaling pathways associated with the synthesis of NO, LTB4 and cytokines, which could impair neutrophil recruitment. Importantly, the possibility that curine may interfere with other cell targets cannot be ruled out.
