(±)-Thalidomide(Cat No.:A000994)is a racemic mixture of the drug thalidomide, known for its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenic properties. Initially developed as a sedative, it gained infamy for causing birth defects. Today, thalidomide is used to treat multiple myeloma and complications of leprosy. It works by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and angiogenesis, as well as modulating the immune response. Despite its past, thalidomide has proven therapeutic benefits under strict controls, offering effective treatment for specific cancers and chronic inflammatory conditions.
