    Product Description

    MRL-871 is an inverse agonist of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt).1 It inhibits the RORγt ligand-binding domain (LBD) recruitment of steroid receptor co-activator 1 (SRC-1; IC50 = 6.1 nM). MRL-871 is also a partial agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ); however, it is 43-fold selective for RORγt over PPARγ.2 It reduces the level of IL-17a in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs; IC50 = 39.6 nM) and decreases the number of double-positive and total thymocytes in the thymus of adult mice.1,3
