The selective ERβ agonist AC 186 reduces polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-induced inflammatory responses in BEAS-2B lung epithelial cells
These results suggest that AC-186 produced anti-inflammatory activity in poly I:C-stimulated BEAS-2 cells, through mechanisms involving inhibition of NF-κB and NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-1β activation. AC186 also protected BEAS-2B cells against poly I:C-mediated apoptosis and death suggesting that this compound have potentials in reducing inflammatory events associated with ARDS caused by viral infections.
