E2502 Tamarixetin Tamarixetin (4'-O-Methyl Quercetin) is a natural flavonoid derivative of quercetin and has superior anti-inflammatory properties in bacterial sepsis by increasing the population of IL-10-secreting immune cells.
S1709 Estradiol Estradiol (17β-estradiol, β-Estradiol, E2, 17β-Oestradiol) is a human sex hormone and steroid, and the primary female sex hormone. Estradiol upregulates IL-6 expression through the estrogen receptor β (ERβ) pathway.
