  • Patent number: 11969397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating transplantation rejection or a transplantation rejection disease, comprising a novel compound and a calcineurin inhibitor. A co-administration of the present invention 1) reduces the activity of pathogenic Th1 cells or Th17 cells, 2) increases the activity of Treg cells, 3) has an inhibitory effect against side effects, such as tissue damage, occurring in the sole administration thereof, 4) inhibits various pathogenic pathways, 5) inhibits the cell death of inflammatory cells, and 6) increases the activity of mitochondria, in an in vivo or in vitro allogenic model, a transplantation rejection disease model, a skin transplantation model, and a liver-transplanted patient, and thus inhibits transplantation rejection along with mitigating side effects possibly occurring in the administration of a conventional immunosuppressant alone.

  • Publication number: 20240131027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a novel compound as an active ingredient for prevention or treatment of transplant rejection. The novel compound SD911 of the present invention was identified to repress the migration of immune cells, increase the engraftment and viability of a grafted tissue, and regulate immune cells. In addition, it was found in a kidney transplantation model that the compound restrained human PBMC from suppressing the engraftment and damaging renal tissues and downregulated the expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17, with the consequent effective prevention and treatment of transplant rejection.
