Application

IMB-10 may be used to study integrin-mediated signaling in tumor cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IMB-10 is a ligand for the αMβ2 integrin that stabilizes the binding of the integrin to endogenous ligands such as proMMP-9 and fibrinogen. IMB-10 blocks migration of lymphocyte cell lines and inhibits leukocyte infiltration in a murine thioglycolate-induced peritonitis.

IMB-10 is a thioxothiazolidine compound that inhibits the infiltration of leukocytes to the site of tumor and blocks the invasion of HSC-3 carcinoma. It modulates the host inflammatory responses and tumor progression.
