P-88-8991, (-)- is a metabolite of Iloperidone. It has functional affinity for noradrenergic, dopaminergic and serotoninergic receptors. Humans produce only one enantiomer stereospecifically following administration of Iloperidone. Preclinical studies revealed that P-88-8991, (-)- might be useful for the treatment of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.

Sulfuretin, one of the major flavonoid glycosides found in the stem bark of Albizzia julibrissin and heartwood of Rhus verniciflua, is a known anti-oxidant. Sulfuretin is also known to have anti-inflammatory effects. Sulfuretin suppressed the chemokine production, matrix metalloproteinase secretion, and cell proliferation induced by tumor necrosis factor-α in rheumatoid FLS. In addition, sulfuretin inhibited the osteoclast differentiation induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand in bone marrow macrophages. In mice with CIA, early intervention with sulfuretin prevented joint destruction, as evidenced by a lower cumulative disease incidence and an absence of diverse disease features based on hind paw thickness, radiologic and histopathologic findings, and inflammatory cytokine levels. In mice with established arthritis, sulfuretin treatment significantly reduced synovial inflammation and joint destruction. The in vitro and in vivo protective effects of sulfuretin were mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
