Description

4-Hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (4OTFB) is a ligand that binds to the inflammatory response receptor complex. The 4OTFB-ligand complex has been shown to inhibit inflammation in animals and humans, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines and suppress the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). 4OTFB was found to bind strongly to sew2871, a protein that regulates the inflammatory response. However, it did not bind with any other proteins in the brain tissue extract. This suggests that 4OTFB might not have any adverse effects on brain function.
