In vitro antitumor and immunomodulatory activities of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives by Héverton Mendes Araújo, Gabriel Acácio de Moura, Yasmim Mendes Rocha, Cristian Vicson Pinheiro Gomes, Valentina Nascimento e Melo de Oliveira, Ronaldo Nascimento de Oliveira, Larissa Deadame de Figueiredo Nicolete, Emanuel Paula Magalhães, Ramon R.P.P.B. de Menezes, Roberto Nicolete

“…Exposure to melanoma murine supernatants also promotes M1 polarization. Supernatants containing traces of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 (Supernatants B, C, and D) increased the percentage of M1 cells compared to Supernatant A, as well as elevated levels of nitrite, TNF-α, and IL-12. 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 combined with Supernatant A and 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative 2 combined with LPS also resulted in higher M1 polarization, suggesting a synergistic effect on M1 polarization and TNF-α production. …”
