6,6′-Dithiodinicotinic acid(CAT: M086398) acts as a modulator of oxidative stress and inflammation by influencing the redox-sensitive pathways in immune cells. Its mechanism involves the formation of disulfide bonds, which can regulate the activity of various enzymes involved in inflammatory responses. This compound has shown potential in research on autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions by helping to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It is also being explored in the development of novel therapies for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, where immune system dysregulation plays a significant role.
