The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is mainly driven by NF-κB-mediated production of cytokines, such as TNF-α. We report herein that the orally available imidazoline-based NF-κB inhibitor, TCH-013, was found to significantly reduce TNF-α signaling and attenuate collagen antibody induced arthritis in BALB/c mice.
