Delmitide is the decapeptide with antiinflammatory activity. It is the first low molecular weight compound inhibiting TNF production at a translational level. Also, delmitide inhibits production of IFN-gamma, IL-12 and IL-2. It targets TRAF6/IRAK4/MyD88 complex and inhibits phosphorylation of SAPKs (p38 and JNK). Delmitide inhibits AP1 and NFkB activation. Delmitide was developed for the potential treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; phase II trials for both these indications commenced in October 2001. Phase I trial in chemotherapy-induced diarrhea and the gastrointestinal complications of HIV were also initiated. However, no recent development has been reported.
