α-Galactosyl Ceramide (KRN 7000, alpha-GalCer) is a potent NKT cell stimulator and selective CD1d ligand. α-Galactosyl Ceramide stimulates lymphocyte proliferation and enhances antibody production. It shows antiangiogenic, antitumor and potent immunoregulatory effects in vivo. alpha-galactosylceramide (KRN 7000, alpha-GalCer) has shown potent in vivo anti-tumour activity in mice, including against melanoma and the highly specific effect of inducing proliferation and activation of human Valpha24+NKT-cells. α-Galactosylceramide treatment can protect against spontaneous, carcinogen-, or oncogene-induced primary tumor formation in mice. Consistent with a prime role for IFN-γ in NKT cell-mediated tumor responses, a C-glycoside analog of α-Galactosylceramide that preferentially stimulated IFN-γ production is even more effective than α-Galactosylceramide at preventing metastases of the B16 melanoma.

| Laquinimod
Laquinimod (ABR-215062) is a new orally active immunoregulator effectively inhibits development and relapses of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. |
| Cyclosporine A
Cyclosporine A (CsA，Cyclosporin A) is an immunosuppressant that binds to cyclophilin and inhibits calcineurin with an IC50 of 7 nM. Cyclosporine A [CsA] binds to the cyclophilin 18 (Cyp18)-CsA complex. the Cyp18-CsA complex recruits calcium-regulated neurophosphatase (CaN), leading to the blocking of cytokine gene transcription in activated T cells. CsA is a highly specific inhibitor of T-cell activation. |
| Pimecrolimus
Pimecrolimus is an immunomodulating agent used in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. |
| Meloxicam
Meloxicam (Mobic) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic and fever reducer effects. |
| Mycophenolic acid
Mycophenolic acid is an immunosuppressant agent used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. |
